Description
Elektra EKS-7289, "Kathy and Carol" from 1965. This is an original guitar-player-label pressing. The record plays mostly at NM with a bit of static on the most outer tracks. Heavy laminated jacket has some seamwear on the upper edge but none on the spine or lower edge; there is one small corner bump at upper left; jacket back is clean with a "review copy" stamp in themiddle. Songs are "Sprig of Thyme", "George Collins", "The Blacksmith", Fair Beauty Bright", "Green Rocky Road", "The Grey Cock", "Wondrous Love", "Carter's Blues", "Lady Maisry", "Gold Watch and Chain", and "Just a Hand to Hold". This is one of the most unusual LPs of the folk revival era with Kathy and Carol's unforgettable ethereal harmonies. The last track on Side B, by Mark Spoelstra, is unforgettable. Shipping is $4.00 media mail, $7.00 priority mail in the continental U.S.; $15.00 airmail for Europe, Australia, Japan, and Korea; elsewhere inquire. Insured priority shipping required for Italy and Brazil. Additional LPs inside one package are $1.00 per extra LP for the U.S. and Canada, $2.00 per extra LP for overseas. I dislike low-quality packaging as much as any other eBayer. Individual records will be shipped in special, handcrafted mailers unlike the usual type in three ways: (1) They are significantly larger all around and padded around the edges to prevent corner bumps to the jacket; (2) they are padded on both sides of the record with styro sheets or thick cardboard sheets to prevent damage to the record surface; (3) they are constructed of heavier-duty cardboard than normal mailers to provide further protection. All used LPs are shipped with record securely inside an inner sleeve but outside the jacket to prevent seam splitting in transit; our innovative padded packaging will prevent seam splitting for new, sealed LPs. The end product is designed to withstand a drop from a second-story window with no damage (though I will not test it with your package). No record should arrive in a condition worse than described! Multiple LPs are shipped in BagsUnlimited pizza-style boxes that are larger around than LPs and will also be well padded.
