Carpenters “Offering” - A&M SP-4205

Original 1969 LP in VG+ condition. Light scuffs on surface. Light non-feelable scratch on side 1. Plays excellent. Cover is VG+ light storage wear. Sharp corners. No seam splits. Please see images for titles and details. This was their first album for A&M. It was withdrawn and re-released with a different title and cover, “Ticket To Ride”.

I've been a record collector since 1976 and a dealer for over 20 years. I grade fairly and honestly using the Goldmine grading standards for vinyl and VJM grading for shellac (78's). I use new record mailers and protect the album cover and vinyl (separated in a poly sleeve to avoid seam splits) with heavy 12 1/2 x 12 1/2 corrugated pads. Please check my feedback for many satisfied customers.

Buyer pays media mail shipping in U.S. at $5.00 or priority mail at $14.00. Foreign shipping via the Ebay International Shipping program. Please see shipping calculator for costs. Combined shipping for multiple items won. Please see my other listings for more music. Thanks!
