Description
Shadrack: "Chameleon" 1974, USA/IGL STLP-132. Sealed original! Wow, what a find. This is not the 80s Euroboot or the 90s Gear Fab reissue, but a genuine Iowa private made at the IGL plant over thirty years ago! Appears to have been well-kept (spiders were guarding it) with the only notable flaws being minor discolouration spots at the breather holes in the original shrink wrap. KILLER claustrophobic Neil Young influenced folk psych and rural rock with heavy fuzz guitar, this one was totally in a class by itself until the recent discovery of Fingletoad & Strange, which I would definitely put in the same bag. It's been some years since a sealed one of these popped up, I expect serious bids! Check out the photos below. Grading is strict and all items are guaranteed, but as this item is sealed, the winning bidder must instruct me to open it to check for critical problems before mailing, or it will be sent as-is. Expect some hiss in the vinyl (all are such). Also, I've never seen a copy of Shadrack that was perfectly flat; they tend to be slightly "dishwarped" but track fine. I'm offering up this rare beast with NO RESERVE. Be sure to check out my other auctions for more stuff like this!
POSTAGE AND PACKING NOTES FOR ALL CUSTOMERS: A percentage of my shipping charges are for the box and insert pad(s); I use RIGID CARDBOARD BOXES MADE FOR MAILING RECORDS, I don't use those free cheapo boxes the Post Office hands out, or those worthless padded bags! Also, I will never mail you an album with the record still inside the jacket! I'll even take the same precautions with company and printed inner sleeves. PLEASE NOTE: I have set my shipping prices to cover my cost on an average basis. Your box may cost me a bit less to mail than I charged you, or a bit more. Records and jackets don't all weigh the same amount, therefore I can't set a "perfect" price for everyone, ESPECIALLY INTERNATIONAL! The price for mailing one album to Europe can vary by as much as $3.00.
POSTAGE RATES USA: 1 album by Priority Mail is $6.00, 2 albums is $7.50. Media Mail is slower, slightly less expensive and much more likely to arrive damaged. 1-2 albums by Media Mail is $4.00. I will quote you rates for larger orders. If you want me to double-box your order for extra protection, ask me to quote you a price.
INSURANCE RATES USA: If your item is worth under $50, there is a "cheap" insurance available for $1.30. This type of insurance offers no security; the postman can leave this package behind with your other mail. "Real" insurance that requires a signature at your end for delivery is available for the following rates: $0-$100, $2.20. $101-$200, $3.20. $201-$300, $4.20. I've never lost a package in the USA, but a couple have been damaged and the insurance paid off. Loss or damage is your responsibility once the box is in the mail, so consider the insurance...
FOREIGN POSTAGE RATES: I do not recommend Surface Mail and will not offer you rates here. The following rates are for uninsured Airmail: CANADA: 1 album: $6.00. 2 albums, $7.00. MEXICO, U.K., EUROPE, SOUTH AMERICA, ASIA, AUSTRALIA, N.Z.: 1 album, $12.00. 2 albums, 14.00. I will quote a price to any customer with a larger order. If you want me to double-box your order for extra protection, ask me to quote you a price. If your package is valuable, Registered Mail is available to most countries. Registration is an additional $8.00 on any parcel. I recommend Registered mail for all parcels to Italy & Mexico but all orders are carefully packed and are rarely lost or damaged!
