Some words on this issue: TOKEDASHITA GARASU HAKO: “S/T” (URC Records – URG-4003) JAPAN KILLER ACID FOLK LP. Original first pressing with always missing OBI. Amazing slide filled with echo treated vocals, lysergic fuzz leads, dreamy arrangements, and an bountiful of strange effects. Tokedashita Garasu Hako was a one-time studio project that featured Takashi Nishioka (Itsutsu No Akai Fusen), Takasuke Kida (ex-Jacks), Tetsuo Saito, Kazuo Takeda (ex-Blues Creation guitarist), and Haruomi Hosono (ex-Apryl Fool). The disc is housed in gatefold cover, which is in excellent shape. Overall it is very clean and glossy with no seam split, tears, or writings. The disc is excellent, just top copy level quality stuff! Turns up rarely, especially a TRUE 1st pressing with matching matrix stamper. Never seen a true 1st pressing on ebay before, so far all copies were later pressings. Here is the real deal.

New to the e-bay game but long experience in selling records so bid with confidence.

Our grading scale: Mint/ Near Mint/ Excellent/ VG++/. We don’t sell anything below VG++. VG++ grade is basically that the record has some scuffs and has wear. Excellent: record has hardly no visible defects and is preserved with care and attention, the condition most collectors take pride in to file away. Near Mint: a dash below mint, just perfect. Mint: like new.
