Frumpy: By the Way

FACTORY SEALED LP

Format: Sealed LP
Country: U.S.A.
Record Company & Release Number: Billinsgate: BG 1003
Original release date/year: 1974
Bar Code: NONE
Condition of the cover: Mint
Condition of the record: Sealed - Assumed Mint
Shipping Weight: 1 pounds, 2 ounces
My inventory number: 209135C
Notes: I believe this is a U.S.A. pressing, but it might be from Germany. There is nothing to positively identify the country of manufacture. On the front cover it states: “An SQ Recording Compatible in Quad or Stereo”. On the back of the cover it states: “This stereo record can be played with every modern light-weight pick-up. The stereo sound, however, is reproduced only when stereo equipment is used”. Therefore, I have a little bit of a doubt that this is a quad pressing.
Please contact me if you have any difficulty viewing the photos.

Biography
BIOGRAPHY NOT AVAILABLE ON ALLMUSIC.COM

• This record came from a record store called "Phantasmagoria" which was located in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Phantasmagoria went out of business in 1978. I purchased most of their unsold inventory some years later when I owned "Music Madness" - a new & used record store in Catasauqua, Pennsylvania.
• Phantasmagoria used round colored stickers to indicate the price of the albums. They had a chart on the wall with the color sticker combinations for the customers to use so they knew the price of the albums. Most of the albums still have these stickers on them, and in some rare cases, the stickers are written on. Some of the records have prices on them. This is the price you would have paid for the record in 1978 if you would have bought it at Phantasmagoria. Please don't confuse these prices with their current value.
• All sealed albums are being sold as collector's items and cannot be returned due to manufacturer's defects. It may be almost impossible to replace many of the sealed albums that I am selling.

• If I list an album as "New", but not sealed, it is because the album is probably an import or from a small USA record company. Back in the 70's, many imported albums were not sealed by the record companies, and the importers/distrubutors did not spend the time or money to seal them before being sent to the stores. I will not knowingly misrepresent an album as new if I have any doubts.

If you have ANY special shipping requirements (extra padding, oversized boxes, etc., you must let me know BEFORE making your payment. The pre-calculated cost of your shipping is based my standard packaging (new boxes, padded envelopes, etc.).

I collect Grand Funk Railroad's music and memorabilia. If you think you might have something to trade for this item, let me know well before the auction ends. I normally do not end an auction early, but I will make an exception if we can work out some sort of trade for something that I can add to my Grand Funk collection.
If you also collect Grand Funk, let me know if you have anything that you might want to sell or trade. I am always looking to add something new to my collection.
