THE METERS - S/T
original US 1969 JOSIE JOS-4010 pressing
Yowza, here's a rare one: 1st press of this psychedelic afro-funk classic new, in the original, unbroken factory wraps. Not the recent re-issue or any later version. I just scored this from a former 1960s record store owner, who had kept this in storage in his basement for 45+ years. I bought ~50 of his late-60s new old-stock/still-in-shrink vinyl records, mostly funk and world-beat, completely cleaning me out in the process. I'm selling this gem so I can eat something besides vintage wax.
NEW / NEVER OPENED! What an amazing copy - no bends, dents, creases, edge chips, breaks, splits to sleeve. Cover is bright, unfaded, and unstressed. No splits, dents, drills, promo cuts/notches. Bottom of sleeve has slight inward bow from the physical vinyl album impression. Back cover white background is bright - the photo image only makes it look dark. This is the "stereo" back cover press (rt top corner): the discogs site lists two versions of this release, but doesn't say which one came first!
Shrink is unbroken, clean, and unyellowed. There is a super-slight matte ring scuff to both sides. NO shrink split at sleeve opening. Corners are sharp, unchipped and unfrayed. Shrink has usual factory "H" wrap & breather holes, price sticker to left top, minor half-nickel-shape shrink chip at back (by 2nd/3rd track print) - absolutely no evidence of this ever having been opened or being a re-wrap.
Did I mention it's NEW, IN ORIGINAL UNBROKEN SHRINK?!
Will be mailed inside a well-padded LP mailer. You have the option of using media mail, but would strongly want you to consider the Priority Mail option, especially if outside the midwest mailing area. Local pick-up is free.
Payment is due within 3 days of auction end.
