   PLEASE READ ALL THE TEXT BEFORE BIDDING OR PURCHASING Here is an original RARE 1972 1 st press vinyl album of the 1 st album (with perforated die-cut cover) by the group called Offenbach (at this time called Offenbach soap opera) composed of Gerry Boulet, Pierre Harel, Michel "Willie" Lamothe, Johnny Gravel, Réal "Wézo" Belval and Denis Boulet, brother of Gerry, who was then again part of the band, probably the most famous french canadian hard rock band of all time from the province of Quebec. This album doesn't include an inner sleeve showing an illustration of the group

                        Visual grading (conservative) Mint (M) Vinyl Absolutely perfect. Physicaly impossible. Of course, I will not use this grade Cover Same as vinyl NM Vinyl No scratches, scuffs or other obvious defects. Very clean Cover Almost perfect. Great-looking. NM- Vinyl An almost pristine looking record with, perhaps, one or two very faint scuffs or barely visible needlemarks (hairline) Cover Very minor sign of wear VG++ (Exc) Vinyl Almost as good as NM-, but a few more faint scuffs and/or very light surface needlemarks. Cover No split seams, some minor signs of wear like faint ring wear or little seam wear. Still pretty good-looking VG+ Vinyl More surface light scratches or/and scuffs Cover A bit more wear than a VG++, such as moderate ring wear or/and seam wear. Maybe one partially split seam. VG Vinyl A good-looking record with more scuffs and/or scratches Cover possibly split seams, perhaps some writing, tape, sticker, ring wear. Looks used



Each time, I try to make a various selection of vinyl (vinyle) 33t rpm / 45 rpm (30 cm) LP (Long Play) / 12" which includes many styles of music (progressive, alternative, psych, funk breaks, jazz, rock, bossa scat, blues, folk, R&B, soul, disco, french canadian, etc...) SO DON'T FORGET TO LOOK AT MY OTHER AUCTIONS !!!!!!

THE CONDITION IS VISUAL ONLY.  I ONLY CHECK THE BEGINNING OF EACH SIDE AND THE SURFACE MARKS (IF APPLICABLE) THAT MEAN SUSPECTED TO ME.  I UNFORTUNATELY DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO ALL THE FULL ALBUMS, SORRY.


SHIPPING AND HANDLING
I use appropriate cardboard mailer and padding.

For order shipped to an address outside of Canada and the United States, local consumer tax and/or customs duty may apply. EBay may be responsible for collecting the tax, or the parcel's recipient may need to pay these to clear customs. In accordance with Ebay's policies, it is the buyer's responsibility to pay any taxes and duties that might be assessed at the border.

If the item is being shipped into an EU country, the buyer or recipient may need to pay VAT and customs duty. As of 1 July 2021, eBay is required to collect VAT on certain orders delivered to EU addresses. For consignments where eBay does not collect taxes, or for orders above a certain value, buyers may need to pay additional import fees (e.g. VAT and duties) as part of clearing their parcel through customs, or when their order is delivered.

MULTIPLE PURCHASES MAY BE COMBINED TO REDUCE SHIPPING AND HANDLING COST.  FOR COUNTRIES OTHER THAN CANADA AND USA, BECAUSE THE COST DEPENDS ON WEIGHT, THE ECONOMY BECOMES ACTUALLY EFFECTIVE ONLY FROM 3 LP OR MORE.

For shipping in Canada, it depends on the postal code. As the surface mail brings too much troubles for the buyer and the seller, the USA and International shippings are now only offered by air. For several reasons (often absent from home, difficulties with previous pick-up arrangements, etc...) for now on, I don't accept pick-up arrangement. No exception.

Pour les envois au Canada, le coût de livraison dépends du code postal. Comme les envois internationaux de surface causent de nombreux problèmes quant à l'intégrité des colis, les expéditions se feront par avion seulement. Pour plusieurs raisons (souvent absent, difficile à rejoindre, etc...), je n'accepte plus maintenant la livraison directement en main propre, sans exception.

IMPORTANT : Honesty is a real value for me. So, if you think this purchase doesn't respect the description made, PLEASE contact me in a reasonable delay max 30 days) for a refund.
