PRIVATE anonymous INSIDE THE SHADOW lp AKARMA rare

$

77

on the akarma records label, stereo pressing, catalog # AK 170, originally from 1976, this pressing from 2001.   8 tracks.   killer akarma reissue (now out of print) of this incredible lp.   produced by jim spencer.   long heralded as one of the best private press lp's there is.....in many top ten lists.  great melodic folk/psych, with the brilliant, jangly guitar work of ron matelic, and the beautiful vocals of marsha rollings.   really tough to find an original of this one, they never turn up, and this is probably the best reissue there is......killer sound on this pressing, they must have had a great source (all masters from this lp are gone).  this pressing never came with an insert.  textured, linen-like cover is strong VG+, with some very light seam and corner wear, and a small dent in lower right corner.   vinyl is strong VG+, with just a couple very light paper scuffs.....a-side label (pictured below) has some lifting, not a big deal, but i should mention.   vinyl has been cleaned on a VPI.   check my other auctions this week for many more great psych, private, rock,  prog,  folk,  xian & other miscellaneous freak-outs........lots of great stuff this week, buy a bunch and save on shipping. 

while i strive to keep my ebay sales fun and hassle free, i do have a couple new rules, due to some unfortunate activity from my previous rounds of auctions:    both ITALY & FRANCE customers must pay PRIORITY AIRMAIL shipping, regardless of the final value of the item(s)......no EXCEPTIONS!    i've avoided this new policy for some time, but in my last round of auctions i had four charge-backs, so this has become mandatory.....shipping prices are quoted below.   also, i do not accept bids from those of you with zero feedback.  sorry, no exceptions.  thanks in advance for your understanding.  as always, i will not end auctions early, please don't even bother to ask

all records are original pressings unless noted......i do not sell current reissues.  please ask any questions early, as i am not always by my computer near the end of auctions.    buyer pays shipping, see rates below.   all records are shipped in dedicated record mailers, with record shipped outside of cover when applicable, with two cardboard inserts.   paypal is the only accepted form of payment at this time.

i have to state that i will ship for $4.00 according to new ebay rules, but i do not like to use media rate, or first class domestic either....both take far too long, and items have sometimes gone missing as well.   if you absolutely have to save $3.00 on shipping, then that is what you'll get, media rate for $4.00, including delivery confirmation....to me, as a seller (and a buyer, for that matter) it takes too long, and i end up with too many questions ( 'where is my record?'   'when did you ship it?'  etc, etc).   i strongly urge you to use priority......you can avoid a heavy box of books being placed on your fragile record, and you'll get it so much faster.    i prefer you use priority shipping with the US, and the cost is $7.00, including delivery confirmation.   first class airmail shipping to CANADA is also $7.00.   first class airmail shipping to MOST OF EUROPE, JAPAN & AUSTRALIA is $14.00.   priority airmail shipping is $24.00 worldwide, and is required on all shipments to both ITALY and FRANCE.   I DO NOT SHIP to SOUTH AMERICA or MEXICO at this time, NO EXCEPTIONS.   i will gladly combine items to save on shipping, i try not to make ANY money on shipping costs, i typically lose money honestly.   payment is expected within 10 days of auction end.   thanks for looking, and good luck.
