Please check my other auctions! Not all are internationally visible so be sure to click on "See other items" under my username. I'm selling my personal collection of US and Canadian rarities including my extensive Chess Records and King/Federal/Deluxe catalogues. CONDITION: vg++ vinyl has few tiny light scuffs or scratches, none feelable or audible; will play great with little to no surface noise, high fidelity, no distortion. Jacket has split bottom, 3" top center split seams, light ring wear with tear out lower left; moderate aging to back and spine (acid in the paper caused the back slicks of many Chess LPs to age prematurely). The original Chess LP series started with LP-1425 and included albums on both the Chess and the Checker labels. After 1437, the series was used exclusively for the Chess label; the Checker label switched to a 2970 series. The first Chess label was black with silver printing, "CHESS" vertically on the left side of the label. During this time, some issues used dark blue labels with silver printing; graphics were the same. These were the original labels on 1425 to approximately 1482, but also appeared sporadically on original albums as late as LP-1500. (From "Both Sides Now", what I believe to be the world authority on record label discographies. Thanks guys!)
SHIPPING ESTIMATES NOTE: Some older pressings are thicker or more fragile than others, or simply more rare and valuable, and therefore require additional packaging to ensure a safe arrival. Insurance via small packet air mail is capped at $100, so if a record sale exceeds $300 full insurance is recommended, but not required. Please contact me if you have special requirements. I reserve the right to cancel your bid if your feedback rating is low or poor. FYI: An Express-post fully insured 1kg parcel is currently running over $80 to overseas destinations.
CANADA: Calculator is correct
USA: $18.50 (insurance required to $100, packed to arrive safely)
