THE RED CRAYOLA   The Parable of Arable Land      IA LP-2 (Mono)

      This is a just opened U.S. International Artists monophonic pressing of The Red Crayola's crazy psychedelic debut, "The Parable of Arable Land". Legendary Texas mayhem from Mayo Thompson and friends (including Roky Erickson). Influenced a generation of freaks. The album is miles ahead of its' time despite having that 60s psych feel.

Dead Wax Info: Side 1 has IA-LP-2003 1B etched into the dead wax. Side 2 has IA-LP-2004 1B etched into the dead wax. Stone original 1967 International Artists mono press. 

Vinyl Visual Grade:  NM with one pressure mark from folded over inner sleeve (side 1), and full gloss. Perfect labels as this lp was opened about 3 months ago and has been played exactly once by me. 

Vinyl Play Grade: NM with AS NEW fidelity and definitely as good a play as you will find out there of this pressing (IA pressings were not what I would call Audiophile quality). Still, the sonics on this one are quite amazing. Pressure mark mentioned above is of NO consequence. Could probably use a cleaning for the wee bit of dust, but really, it plays as new even without cleaning 

Cover Visual Grade: VG+/NM with no ring / rubbing wear to speak of. Spine and seams are BEAUTIFUL. Slight bump lower left front corner. Shows AS NEW.

Comes with original die-cut plain paper inner (as did all IA releases) which is starting to split on one seam. Please look at the last picture to see what happens to a paper sleeve that has been folded over during assembly and sealed for 48 years. Everything has yellowed except for the folded over parts. Cool, eh?  I have lined the paper inner with an Audiophile style rice plastic inner.

 Hello all. My name is Jamie and I have been collecting records for 40+ years. It is time to trim down my unmanageable inventory. My tastes run all over the sonic map, so there should be something for almost everyone.

ALL records will have been visually inspected under BRIGHT incandescent light with extreme scrutiny.

ALL open records will have been play graded using a Thorens TD 165 turntable and Yamaha amplifier (JBL reference headphones). Treble set high so nothing will be hidden in my grades. My grading is as follows:

M or Mint - NOT USED as there is no such thing as perfection.

NM or Near Mint - No significant markings - sealed or RARELY played.

VG+ - Minimal marking - none of which significantly affects fidelity of lp.

VG - Minimal to modest marking which affects lp but not to the point of distraction.

G - Modest marking but still VERY listenable, depending on your ears.

I WILL NOT SELL ANY LP AT LESS THAN G UNLESS THERE IS SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL VALUE ATTACHED TO THE LP.

ALL COVERS WILL HAVE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF ALL FLAWS.

I USE PROPER RECORD MAILERS WITH STIFFENERS AND PADDED CORNERS. I HAVE BOUGHT TOO MANY RECORDS ON EBAY WITH DINGED CORNERS FROM INSUFFICIENT PACKAGING. BY PADDING THE CORNERS WITH FOLDED BUBBLE WRAP (WHICH I DO) , YOU CAN BE SURE OF RECEIVING AN LP WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE CORNERS. 

SHIPPING FEES:

Shipping will be $10 U.S. for anywhere in the U.S. as long as the weight is under 500 grams after packaging.

Other countries (including Canada), please refer to the Canada Post rates which should be available on the ebay shipping details within the listing.

I AM A REASONABLE PERSON. I WILL ONLY CHARGE FOR ACTUAL SHIPPING, AND NONE OF THE PACKAGING COSTS. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BOUGHT ITEM, PLEASE WORK WITH ME TO FIND A SOLUTION THAT WILL BE TO YOUR LIKING. thanks for this
