The Beatles – Abbey Road LP (C1 0777 7 46446 1 7; Apple Records/Capitol Records, 1995 Limited Edition reissue)

I purchased this new in shrink wrap in 2003 or so. According to , this pressing was a limited edition reissue originally released in 1995. It is a standard weight vinyl.

The vinyl is Near Mint. I probably only played it a couple of times. The sleeve is a very conservative VG+; there is some minor creasing in the lower right-hand corner visible upon close inspection where the sleeve was probably slightly bent at the distributor or in the store; the corner still has a minor bend or ding in it. It's been stored in a poly sleeve upright on my shelf for the last 13 years.

Grading Policies and General Remarks on Vinyl Condition:

I do not own a record store and I don't read Goldmine. I'm not going to try to be an expert on grading. Too often when I buy on eBay, people rate items as "Very Good" that I think are ready for the trash.

I do however take care of my records. Most of them were purchased new from independent stores or distros, and I have stored each in a plastic sleeve to ensure that each record remains in about the same condition. Occasionally, I receive a new record from the label or distro with a small seam split or a bent corner. If that's the case, I'll let you know. If it's used, I'll describe whatever visible flaws I see. If I don't describe a particular item, assume that it is in "like New" condition. Whether or not that makes it M, M-, or NM, doesn't mean much to me.

Shipping:                                                                            

I always ship in cardboard mailers. Most of the time they’re brand new ones that cost me $2.00 a piece, but occasionally, I reuse a record box that someone shipped a record to me in. As a regular eBayer myself, I know the mystery of whether or not a record will arrive in good condition can be quite frustrating and agonizing. I make sure there is no mystery by telling you how I pack my records up front. I believe that my shipping charges are still about average, and you can rest assured that your record will arrive to you well-packed.

I walk by the post office on a daily basis, so your item will typically be in the mail within 24 hours, but occasionally it will take 48. I ask in turn that you pay promptly. If, after 3 days, I have not received Paypal payment or been notified by you, I will start the process of reporting you as a non-paying bidder and relist the item.

Be sure to check out my other items, as I offer a pretty good discount for multiple vinyl records. U.S. bidders will pay the highest shipping cost for the auctions you win plus $1.00 for each additional item (Media Mail; Priority will be calculated at auction’s end). Combined shipping for international bidders will be calculated at the end of all auctions and will be based on total weight.
