THE OBSESSED "Sodden Jackal" mega rare 1983 original 45 ep w/ fold out pic sleeve!

Invictus Records - 1983
Country where manufactured: US
Condition = (cover/vinyl)= VG+/VG+

One of the cornerstone releases of the US 'doom' scene, this is a copy of the mega rare self released single by THE OBSESSED on their own label from 1983. If I remember correctly there were either 300 or 500 of these made, can't remember exactly as there have been many years and brain cells lost since I've heard the numbers, but suffice to say it is VERY rare and an essential piece of DOOM for a fan of the genre. Features the songs "Iron & Stone", "Indestroy", and "Sodden Jackal", and comes in a very cool four panel fold out sleeve. The sleeve has a slight crease on bottom left, but otherwise in nice shape- and excuse the reflection of my hand on the photo of the vinyl- there is no spot there that's just the photo. I spent a good part of my life in the VA/MD area where this was released and it was hard to find even in those parts, so don't let this pass you by- it's the freaking OBSESSED man! This ain't the reissue/bootleg/mp3, this is the REAL DEAL- so hope somebody treats themselves to a GREAT early xmas present and it goes to a good home! Wino of course went on to be in many bands: SAINT VITUS, LOST BREED, SHINE, SPIRIT CARAVAN, HIDDEN HAND, PROBOT (with members of SUNN), PLACE OF SKULLS, and who knows what I forgot! Please check my other auctions, I've got some other rare doomies up and another OBSESSED single - plus lots of other metal singles up this week, and tons of other rare LPs/45s up all the time!

A 30 year stockade of collectibles is being sorted through slowly but surely, and many great things will go up for auction so keep your eyes peeled!. Also, since my auctions start throughout the day, please note closing times vary. If you haven't already, I recommend you check out some of the free 'bid sniping' programs out there. I use them for buying and it's a great way to not forget to bid on auctions!

Please read the following before you bid! I know it's a lot, but I have tried to put any/all information you may need here, and it's important! And you may find answers to any questions you may have here too. Thanks.

PAYMENT, SHIPPING & HANDLING:

THE MOST IMPORTANT: If you win, PLEASE wait to get an winning bid email from me with SHIPPING AND HANDLING TOTAL before sending any payment! Please do not just send a Paypal payment without getting a total from me! It will delay the process if you just "make up" postage amount and send it in, so please don't! You can use the PAY NOW or CHECKOUT after you have info from me on how much shipping is. I can't have a "flat rate" shipping, because it is different for every order.

Combined orders will of course save on shipping, which is a great reason to check out the other items I have up right now. I will be happy to send items won at same time by one buyer in same package. Thanks you!

Payments are preferred by PAYPAL which is fastest & easiest, but can by made by MONEY ORDER (drawn on a US bank only), or by US $'s (only if by COD or whatever ebay says is safe on their page of ebay payment laws, which I will not try to explain. Please check their site explaining this at this link: Ebay Payment Rules. Shipping/Handling for orders is determined on a per order basis.

Payment due within 7 days of auction closing or appropriate feedback will be left and ebay notified via non-paying bidder notice. Please communicate and let me know what's going on with your purchase, and I will do the same.

Items won will be shipped to the shipping address on your Ebay account by USPS, but now that they charge by zone s/h must be calculated at end of auction. You can choose from MEDIA/regular 1st or PRIORITY mail in the US, or by AIR or SEA to rest of world. Insurance/registered is extra, and I am not responsible for lost/damaged packages that aren't insured/registered. Postage estimates can be made, see the chart below and please email with any questions. I only charge for s/h costs incurred in handling your order. I use real LP/45/padded mailers, and when sending vinyl I always remove LP/45 from sleeve to avoid damage in shipping. I make every effort to be an efficient shipper, and will get your stuff out to you within a few days of payment being recieved. I also buy a lot on ebay, and know how annoying it is to wait- so I will be fast as I can! I have been buying/selling on ebay for over 7 years, so please bid with confidence!

Thanks for your help with keeping the transactions smooth.

This is an ESTIMATED chart for postage of LPs/CDs based on the new postage rates as of 2006. Please do not use it to send payment, it is only so you can have an idea of what it will cost instead of asking for each auction! I will send you final cost when auction closes as items have different weights and vary by a dollar or so as you can see. If you just use this to make up postage I will have to refund payment and it will delay order. Thanks!
