ROLLING STONES FLOWERS RARE EX ORIGINAL 1967 MONO LONDON ROCK LP

$

32

This is a very rare and clean original mono pressing of The Rolling Stones LP, Flowers, released by London Records in 1967. This LP is basically a compilation and amalgam of cuts released on prior LPS such as Ruby Tuesday, Let's Spend The Night Together and Lady Jane. But also includes several songs that had not appeared on any other LP, only having been released as singles, such as Have You Seen Your Mother Standing In the Shadows, and Mother's Little Helper. The LP also includes songs that had never been released at all previously such as My Girl, Sittin On A Fence, and Ride On. It also includes cuts that were released only on U.K. LPS, such as Backstreet Girl, Please Go Home, and Take It Or Leave It. Clean copies of this rarity in mono are very difficult to find as reflected by its current near mint book value ($100).

The LP visually is in excellent to near mint condition with only a barely visible scuff line on Side 1, and plays very nicely. The cover is in very good plus condition. All corners are reasonably sharp with just a trace of tip wear evident. The spine is strong with minor rub wear except for some flaking from top of spine for about inch. The seams are strong with only minor rub wear. The front cover and back cover are clean with some staining visible on lower front of cover near mouth and to lesser extent on the back cover in the same area. There is also a small cut out hole on the bottom of the cover near the spine. In grading I use Excellent instead of VG++ for those items deemed just a notch below near mint. Please understand that opened play graded copies may have been graded several weeks before listing so the LP should be cleaned again before play. LPs are cleaned manually as I no longer have machine.

The LP will be shipped within 24 hours of payment, which is expected within 3 days of auction end, in specially made LP mailer with the LP separated from the cover (for unsealed items) and well packaged to protect the item from damage during shipment. Returns are accepted as long as LP is returned in the condition received. Return of sealed items will only be permitted if returned unopened.

Shipping cost is $4 per LP. To reduce shipping cost, I will combine shipping on multiple items bid and won during the same auction cycle. Please do not pay until I have had the opportunity to manually adjust the shipping cost. I cannot hold items for multiple auction cycles as it will affect my EBAY standing in so far as it concerns shipment time. I only accept bids from US based buyers and will only ship to the address recorded for the buyer on PAYPAL, which is the only method I can accept for payment.

Please keep in mind that I am a person looking to sell their collection and not a store or commercial seller. I play grade open items sold and do the best I can in the process to give an honest assessment of the item As is shown by my feedback I think I do a good job of satisfying most buyers. I leave feedback for all buyers and if you are satisfied with the transaction I would greatly appreciate positive feedback from the buyer as well. It does not take very long and is very important to me as a seller. If for any reason you cannot leave positive feedback or are not satisfied, please have the courtesy of contacting me before leaving negative or neutral feedback. In almost all cases the issue can be worked out to the buyers satisfaction even if it means returning the item. If the item is not as described I will bear all shipping costs including return shipping. If a buyer behaves in a rude or unreasonable manner, and/ or fails to contact me to address issues they have with an item before negative or neutral feedback is left, I will block that buyer from further auction participation. I also reserve the right block a buyer that leaves negative or neutral feedback when I have done everything possible to place the buyer in the position they would have been had the transaction not taken place.

I am auctioning almost 5000 records of my own collection, including rock. soul, blues and jazz, that are very clean and, included are some very rare items that rarely are available for purchase
