Save BIG on Combined Shipping! Be sure to see my other DVD, Blu-ray, CD, book and record auctions. Adding any of them to your package will cost you only an additional 50 cents to US addresses for each auction after the one with the highest shipping. (Note that comic books cannot be shipped by Media Mail, so they are not included in this offer.) Go nuts!
-----Description-----
Photos above always show the actual item or items that you will get from me, because I never use "stock photos." (Excuse any reflections or focus problems!)
My standard disclaimer about vinyl: All vinyl records will have at least some surface noise, so do not expect flawlessly pristine CD sound quality.
Okay, now that that's out of the way:
This is the original-issue 1970s version of the vinyl LP triple-record album "All Things Must Pass," the sprawling three-record (and poster!) box set that was the first George Harrison solo album after The Beatles broke up. Apple Records label, catalog number STCH 639.
Condition details:
Outer Box: The outer box show some age darkening, rubbing and wear (see photos), but what's unusual is that the box lid still is completely attached. (On most vintage copies like this that I've seen, the black paper that holds the lid to the bottom of the box has split, leaving the lid is completely detached, but not on this copy.) Three corners of the box lid have splits, but they aren't smashed in or anything. (I've seen -- and sold -- copies that were in much worse shape than this!)
Records: All three records and their labels look very clean and glossy, to the point where they honestly look unplayed and like new -- but be aware that they do have some surface noise crackling and occasional pops. It's not irritating enough to make you run you out of the room screaming, but it's significant enough in most places that you'll definintely know it's there -- so don't expect pristine CD-quality sound. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely not a disaster, and many songs sound just fine. But if you're a perfectionist, stick to the CD!
Inner sleeves: All three of the heavy paper inner sleeves have printed text (lyrics and such). The first and second sleeves (the blue and gray ones) have no splits and are in excellent perfect condition. The third one (the green "Apple Jam" sleeve) has some wear at the middle of one side of the sleeve that could turn into a short split there at any minute, but for now it's fine. All three sleeves look like new, essentially, with no creases or tears.
Poster: I've sold several copies of this album, but I've honestly never seen a poster in as great shape as this one. It looks brand new, with no splits or problems whatsoever, even at the intersections of the creases. Nice!
ALSO: I'm selling two other George Harrison albums right now on eBay, along with several other albums. Win more than one and save big on combined shipping!
Any questions, just ask!
You'll love it!
ANOTHER GREAT AUCTION, FROM A PET-FREE, SMOKE-FREE HOME!
-----SHIPPING-----
Flat $3.99 shipping cost for Media Mail with Delivery Confirmation to US addresses. I combine shipping if you win more than one of my auctions: add only 50 cents extra shipping for each additional auction you win after the most expensive one that can be shipped by Media Mail (which includes records, CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays and books, but not comic books).
INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS: eBay adds a substantial premium to the cost of international shipping as part of their Global Shipping service. None of that extra money goes to me. I only get exactly the same shipping amount that a US bidder would pay, and all of the rest goes to eBay. So don't blame me if eBay's shipping prices to other countries are high, because I have absolutely no control over them! ALSO: eBay's Global Shipping Program is the only method that I use to ship to international bidders. So whatever price eBay's shipping calculator lists is how much shipping will cost you, there are no other alternatives.
Good luck!
