First off thank you for viewing my auction. Over the coming months I will be posting thousands of LPs and 45s from my personal collection as I have decided to trim down from about 10,000 to 5000 discs total. Its just too much space. All items have been collected over the past 20 years. Most records are in immaculate condition. I am an audiophile and I will be play grading all the posted recordings on a vintage hi-fi system. It consists of a Denon dp-3000 with SME 3009 tonearm, shure v15 type iv cart and a jico vn45he stylus. Mcintosh MC504 preamp and MC2505 power amplifier powering Tannoy Arden mk 1 speakers. I will do my best to grade the best way I can in the most discerning manner. I use a record weight and this system really put noise to the back, any discrepancies you may have will be noted, all returns accepted. All records are cleaned with a loricraft PRC4 professional record cleaner. Rest assured your purchases will arrive safe and sound I have all the supplies to ensure solid record shipment. In the event of a mishap (as I have personally experienced buying online) we will find a mutual solution that we can both agree upon. You will be receiving the item pictured and described. Please check frequently for my other actions. Bid with confidence! 
The Thirteenth Floor Elevators - Psychedelic Sounds of the Thirteenth Floor Elevators. Monster Rare original 1966 first LP from the psychedelic trailblazers from Texas. Hard to find in any condition, this LP is more than acceptable for even the most discerning collectors. Just read the liner notes from the Nuggets LP where Lenny Kaye praises this record and then taunts you to "try and find one". Jacket is nice, record is stunning EX, really really nice copy.
Dead Wax/Runout - Side 1 - S1 1-A #1 B1 SIDE 1 Side 2 - (S) 1-A #1 B1 SIDE 2
Sleeve Grading - VG + It appears used - maybe just stored improperly in a vertical stack at some point between 1966 and now yet very well cared for. Slight spine wear, slight scuffing, some corner freying as shown in pictures, see pictures - light wear throughout yet retains excellent colour and the liner notes are very present and vivid. Outer Jacket has no splits or light creases, really really hard to find this NM or EX+. Overall the jacket is in really really nice shape. This was my copy.
Media/Audio Grading - EX - Plays superb, hardly played, I was really blown away by how smooth this record plays and looks tons of gloss, lightest hardly visible marks from paper. NO GOUGES OR TICKS AT ALL PLAYS SUPERB WOW! Lightest tick (if you could call it that) between a couple tracks but hardly audible. My friend and I were really stunned how clean this lp played. Lightest surface noise on a couple parts of side two but hardly audible. Plays so wonderful. Really great player. The lightest of surface noise never seems to never come into contact with the sonic quality of this record. Now for the audio, stellar recording really magnificent sound on this disc here, sounds truly life like with magnificent soundstage and effects. Wide open - huge soundstage. Straight audiophile pressing, really stuns.
