Description
1st USA Original Pressing of Funkadelic's 1970 "Free Your Mind And Your Ass Will Follow" LP on the Westbound label. This is the Original Pressing.
COVER: VG / The cover has slight ring wear on both sides and dirt marks on the back cover with small pen mark which can be seen in the pictures. There is wear on the spine, corners and edges as you'll see with any original copy of this record. Still intact with minor creases here and there. Inner gatefold is in great condition. No splits or tears. This is the original "Unipak" issue.
VINYL: VG / The record is in very good condition. There are noticeable sleeve marks and surface scuffs on both sides of the vinyl, which slightly affects the audio but not by much. The spindle holes are pristine, the labeling is great. Vinyl is slightly warped, which does not affect the audio, but does give the very beginning of Side 1 some background noise.
TEST PLAYED: VG+ / I have played both sides of this record recently. The audio is great, with only minimal to no background noise in the quietest parts. No skips or pops. Plays very well throughout.
My grading scale is: Sealed (still in shrink wrap); M (MINT); NM (Near Mint); NM- (Near Mint Minus); EX (Excellent); VG+ (Very Good Plus); VG (Very Good); VG- (Very Good Minus); G (Good); and P (Poor). If you ONLY collect "MINT" or "NEW" records, you should not bid on any item with any grade less than NM. For almost all collectors, my NM- should not require any further "upgrade" for you. For almost all collectors, my EX should be acceptable for your collection copy. If you are an audiophile who cannot tolerate vinyl surface noise, you should only bid on records play graded as NM. For most audiophiles, my EX play grade should be acceptable for your collection copy. [PLEASE NOTE that I will not accept returns of SEALED records and I will not refund any part of your payment for a SEALED record.]
Unless the winning bidder requests otherwise, the record will be placed outside of the LP outer jacket so that it will not damage the cover during transit.
I will NOT be responsible for UNINSURED items lost, damaged or delayed during transit. If you would like to pay for insurance, please contact me regarding the cost.
For U.S. destinations, the shipping cost for 1 record delivered via US Postal Service Media Mail will be $3.99 for everyone in the United States. For each additional record, add $0.50 for each for up to 3 records. (Each LP mailer will fit up to about 3 records.) For example, for a boxed set containing 3 records, please just add $1 to the shipping cost of the first record. If you would like your item shipped using a different option offered by the US Post Office (e.g., Priority Mail or Express Mail) or a private courier service (e.g., FedEx or UPS), please contact me.
