THE  OTHER  HALF

"THE  OTHER  HALF"

ATCA     A38994

1968

EX / VG++

FIRST PRESSING

PROMO COPY  

ONE COPY CURRENTLY ON EBAY AS OF 3-24-2019: $254 (sealed).  This LP is the only unsealed LP copy on eBay.

One of the rarest of the US psychedelic LP releases and perhaps the rarest of the San Francisco "Summer of Love" bands' LPs.  The band is most well known for its original lead guitarist Randy Holden who later filled the same spot in the legendary psychedelic hard rockers, Blue Cheer.  The Other Half played the San Francisco ballroom scene with the likes of The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother & The Holding Co., Quicksilver Messenger Service, The Chocolate Watch Band and 100s of others.

I debated on posting this LP at a Buy It Now price of $250 with no option to Make Offers.  I looked at a few other auction sales sites and found that the average opening bid on this LP was set at $175, (and they sold)!  Still, I have a lot of albums to sell going forward, so I figured I'd post it with an opening bid of $125 so that more people could have a shot at owning an ORIGINAL copy. 

Good luck.  This is a killer LP that is accepted to be one of the rarest.  First pressings (especially mono copies) will no doubt increase in value in the coming years.  I personally don't subscribe to the strategy of buying records for investment unless it's for investment for your ears.  Nuff said.


Stored vertically in a smoke-free environment for 51 years.
