First US pressing (1969), with the classic bright yellow colored labels.

A rare collectible indeed, here in superb condition !!!  

The Terre Haute plant pressing, as indicated by the "T" hand etched in the dead wax.

Superb copy of this iconic Sly & The Family Stone gem, with wax that plays just a wee bit shy of "like new" ... and the original "Unipak" gatefold jacket in EX+ condition.  

(More details below.)

Includes the title track "Stand!", "Sing A Simple Song" and smash hits "Everyday People" and "I Want To Take You Higher".

Matrix numbers etched in the dead wax read:

Side 2:   XSB 139308-1E   T      

Vinyl:  NM-

Wonderful rich sound on this well recorded album.  

Plays just a wee bit shy of "like new", with only traces of surface noise ("crackle") audible between tracks.  

Light superficial paper scuffs / hairlines are visible under bright light but have no discernible impact on the listening experience. 

Exceptionally high gloss remains.                  

Labels are clean and bright, look "like new".

Inside gatefold area (with photos and text) also clean, bright and sharp.

My Profile / Policies:

Note:  I've qualified for the "Top Rated Plus" seal from eBay, awarded to sellers who consistently deliver outstanding customer service.

Music is my passion.  I’ve been a collector for more than 50 years and have thousands of records in my personal collection, focused largely on 50’s and 60’s rock ‘n’ roll.  Recently retired, I look to downsize and sell select portions of my collection in hopes of financing future purchases of a few special pieces.  

All records I offer are from my personal collection, each cleaned using my Nitty Gritty Record Cleaning Machine.

Wax is play graded (not just visually graded), employing Goldmine Price Guide standards.

As I take great care to accurately describe my items, I do not accept returns unless my item description is incorrect.

All records are packaged with the wax outside the jacket (to avoid seam split in transit), enclosed in a plastic sleeve and shipped in robust record mailer boxes via USPS Media Mail, tracking included.

International customers pay shipping costs and duties per the eBay Global Shipping Program guidelines. 

Payment expected within 3 business days of auction closing.
