Welcome to my auction

In the weeks ahead I will be auctioning off a collection of vinyl LP records, this collection was NOT a private individual's collection, it is what remains of a long closed record store from the Detroit metropolitan area, the records have been in storage since the early 1980's. I can only approximate the store closed around 1982 looking at the most recent material in the collection. The items to be auctioned will include the; rare and hard to find,early pressings/editions, limited edition colored vinyl, picture discs, and controversial cover art that was changed. Most of these albums are in Excellent to NM condition, if opened they have been handled very little, many are still sealed. I'm not a subject matter expert on vinyl LP's, but will do my best to grade appropriately and provide as much detail as possible for each, please see the specific album details below for more details, conditions and grading.

Note that due to some recent issues with international sales, I only offer domestic shipping and will only ship within the US, I appreciate your interest in the item, but please don't bid if you are outside of the US.

Flat rate shipping charge includes a handling fee to cover packaging materials; these will be shipped in specialized packaging to ensure safe delivery to the new owner

All albums will be shipped using Whiplash LP Mailers with foam and/or cardboard inserts for added protection, open albums will be shipped with the vinyl placed in new poly inner sleeves

I can combine shipping - In the event you win multiple items, please allow me to invoice before paying, you can also request an invoice if you prefer.

Up to 3 single jacket albums or 2 gatefold albums small pack - $7 flat rate

Up to 8 single jacket albums or 4 gatefold albums large pack - $9 flat rate


Offered for auction here is:
Achim Reichel & Machines - Echo - Double LP - Released on the Polydor Label, Catalog # 2633 003 in 1972. This is one of the initial German pressings, an import to the US. Jacket is glossy laminated gatefold style album. The album jacket has some minor flaws, some light creasing, nothing that travels across the album jacket, light ring wear, also appears to be some adhesive residue from I assume a hype sticker (see photo) in the upper LH corner. The jacket grade is a conservative Excellent. The original poly lined LP sleeves are present. The vinyl condition is NM.  Overall an outstanding copy of this hard to find LP.
Please review the pictures and ask any questions before bidding.
This item is being sold as is, I do not offer returns but will work with the buyer if he/she feels the item was grossly misrepresented.
Thanks and good luck bidding
