Item Description:

Shimon Holy- "The Owl". One of the rarest and sought-after Psych/Blues/Rock albums to come out of Israel. This is one of 100 copies privately pressed by the artist in 1988. The 6-track album features electrifying psych-blues riffs, searing fuzz guitars and spacey sound effects, along side some more mellow "ballad-y" acoustic parts. Of-course, one of the picks of the album is the unique interpertation of Jimi Hendrix's "Hey Joe", which you can listen to in the sampler link below.

The copy for sale has never been played! it was kept on the shelf untouched from the day it was pressed thru all those years. The only reason I cannot reffer to is as Still Sealed is because it's a private pressing and it was never sealed.... This LP is truely a must GEM in every serious psychedelic-rock/blues collection. Please bid with confidence. No reserve!

Grading is based on a careful visual inspection of the record's surface, labels and cover (unless 'play-test' is noted). Grading scale is as follows:

SS- Still Sealed

NM- (Near Mint)- The vinyl surface will be near perfect. Only few light negligible signs of use might be spotted under direct bright light. The Cover should also be close to perfect with the option of only the smallest flaws that are not noticed unless really looked for. I might use (+) and (-) to be more specific within the range of NM grade.

VG++ (Very Good plus plus)- surface of the vinyl will show only mild signs of use. Few light hairlines, marks, dots, paper-scuffs may be appear-able under light but in any way not affecting the quality of the sound. The cover over-all appearance will be excellent. On closer inspection the occasional touch of ring-wear, seam-wear, light crease, small stain might be found, but again, nothing that really “stands-out to the eye”.

VG+ (Very Good plus)- surface of the vinyl will show more noticeable signs of use such as a light scratch, ding, scuff, hairlines etc. Anyway, those defects will be mostly cosmetic and the deterioration of sound quality would still be subtle if at all felt. The occasional pop and crackle might be heard on the quieter parts and between tracks but could just as well be related to the record needing a good clean. Cover will show more noticeable flaws such as creasing, seam-wear, ring-wear, stickers, aging-signs etc. But all these would still be rather light and the over-all appearance of the cover should be very good.

VG (Very Good)- This is the grading for a record that's lost a more substantial part of its sound quality. More extensive evidence of careless handling of the record will be present visually and affect sound quality in the form of occasional pops, crackle, ticks, jumps etc. The cover will appear somewhat worn-out even to the naked eye. Stains, over-all wear and creasing might be present and even a small tear...

VG- (Very Good minus)- This is used for really bad looking records. I will not list items in this condition unless they are very very rare and valuable or I find them to have some other cultural value apart from their usual use.
