Van Der Graaf Generator Aerosol Promo MINT UNPLAYED

$

85

• This week I am offering nearly two-hundred great psych, psych-folk, psych-soul, hippie, freakbeat, prog, fuzz, heavy, sunshine pop, blues, and soul LPs from a fantastic one-owner collection!

• The majority of these scarce albums look as if they were bought yesterday, not of 35 to 40 years ago! Many are still sealed, many more are rare white label promotional pressings, and all are NM to MINT unplayed condition!

• The original owner obviously acquired these just to collect them, not to play them. You will want to buy as many from this collection as you can so you can get a savings on postage!

• "More folky, lighter and simplistic than their better known albums like Pawn Hearts or H to HE....This album has more of a 60's hippie feel than 70's progressive, but is still quite enjoyable. Comparisons to the first two Genesis albums are appropriate... This album is like many debuts: showing promise with even more great things to come. Think of this album like the first two Yes albums or Genesis' Trespass. The lineup is a bit different from their classic albums, this album featured guitarist/vocalist Peter Hammill, drummer Guy Evans, keyboardist Hugh Banton, and bassist Keith Ellis (who quickly hopped on to a band called Juicy Lucy). Notice that David Jackson is absent on this album. Some anonymous figure by the name of John provided a little flute. This album is more of a proto-prog/psych/folk type of offering. It was intended to be a Peter Hammill solo album (since VdGG broke up) but since VdGG reformed, it became a VdGG album. Strangely the album did not initially receive a British release, the US print on Mercury is the original pressing. It later appeared in Britain on the Fontana label in the 1970s (as well as Vertigo over in Italy). The album still has good material on it, like "Aquarians", "Octopus", "Necromancer", "Running Back". The title track is one of the rare times the band showed a sense of humor. "Aquarians" seems to have more strong hippie overtones than what is normal for the band. "Octopus" is by far the most progressive song on this album, with extended organ solos. Certainly this album shows that many of the late '60s psychedelic elements have not left..."

• Vintage LP record, USA pressing from 1969. This is the rare white label promotional pressing! Few were manufactured, and even fewer survive in this grand condition! This was manufactured in extremely limited quantities, primarily for radio station play only. This one was "leaked" to a private collector before it had a chance to be played, however!

• Jacket constructed of thick brown pasteboard stock with applied cover slick. Jacket is VG++ condition, no creases, writing, etc., just very light corner wear and extremely light rubbing at the edges.

• The disc appears to be MINT UNPLAYED PERFECT condition! Labels are perfectly clean and without spindle tracks or other evidence of play.

• The jacket is not a cut out, so no cut corners, no drill holes, and no saw cuts. Obviously no bar codes, either.

I have been seeking out and selling vintage records professionally by mail for years. I am a collector as well. I know how to pack your valuable records for safe and speedy shipment, double-boxing when warranted and using industry-preferred boxes and mailers with sufficient cushioning material. Please do not neglect to check out the rest of my rare records!

INTERNATIONAL BIDDER INFO:

• Free postage offer does not apply. Add $4 per each additional LP. Double record sets count as two LPs, triple record sets count as three, etc.

• I do not charge handling fees. I also never use international first class shipping if you use PayPal, because it is not safe. USPS Priority or Express rate only, because they offer free tracking and insurance. Just slightly more expensive. If you cannot afford proper postage then this record is not for you.

• Finally, import duty taxes are the responsibilty of the buyer. I will not honor any request that I misrepresent parcel value or other information on the customs form.

• If you pay with PayPal, I will not ship with First Class mail.
• PayPal requires tracking for proof of delivery, and First Class does not offer that service.
• I understand the need to pay as little as possible for postage, so if you must have First Class delivery instead of the much safer Priority Mail, please email me before you bid so that we can come to an agreement.
