Description
This LP is very very rare. I bought it from the original owner who purchased it in San Antonio, TX at a Gulf-Mart in 1973 in the cut out bin for 67 cents! In shrink, unused when he bought it, it is a cut out, you can not see the punch hole in the sleeve from the front because it is behind the price label in the upper right corner, the sale price sticker is on the shrink not the sleeve. You can see the small cut out hole punch from the back upper left corner. The shrink was sealed when the record was purchased originally in 1973. It is a first pressing which means the information is cut into the dead wax, should be on all original 1st pressings for the Sussex USA album. The first is SSBX 7000 on the A side and SBSX on the B side. The second mark is very small and reads ATP. The letters are tiny and all close together plus the writing is in SCRIPT or CURSIVE style instead of "printed" style letters. On side B, this ATP is harder to read than on the A side. Inner sleeve is original, plain white though time has aged it a bit so that the edges look slightly more yellow. Foxing. I have never played this record, do not even have a turntable but visible inspection reveals no issues, it looks new. The original owner must not have played it much, if he did he was very careful with it. I am selling this AS IS just because it is a record but this one is a treasure, especially if you love Rodriguez and I do, you can not even compare the sound off of the CD to the sound of an LP. . I bought this LP on EBAY in 2013. I accept Pay Pal only and only from a verified US bank account. No international shipping, US only. Payment is due within 3 days of auction closure. I paid a lot for this LP and will cancel the sale if bids are not active, still love Rodriguez but will not give this one away.
