Mega Rare LP of John Coltrane - Ballads (Impulse A-32 - mono)  Original orange and black labels with Bell Sound on both sides.  This is it!  possibly the best Coltrane LP out there.  Also features McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones in an acknowledged masterpiece that no serious jazz collector can be without.

The LP is in VG+ condition with some marks that will make some noise and with most if not all of the original shine - not for the audiophile, but actually not bad for an LP of this vintage.  Still, you will hear some noise on this one.  The laminated cover has some general age/shelf wear and a bit of staining at the bottom of the front cover (also a bit on the back), but NO splits, NO tape, NO writing, NO stickers, NO stamps.  NOT perfect, but how many of these do you see anymore at any price?

The LP will be carefully packed using professional materials (over twenty years experience safely selling jazz LPs around the world).

Shipping discounts available for multiple items sent together to any country.

Mailing costs have gone up.  Postal rates have increased dramatically, the cost of record mailers has increased and e-bay now charges a fee for mailing - in addition to Paypal’s fees on mailing payments.   I have done what I can to keep mailing costs down, but I have no control over these increases.

International mailing costs:   International overseas mailing (Europe, Japan, Asia etc…) for one LP would be $29.00.  This reflects increases in postage costs, e-bay fees on mailing, Paypal fees on mailing as well as mailers and packing materials.   One LP to Canada would be $18.00

US mailing costs:  Media mail rate as calculated to a U.S. address.  This reflects increases in postage costs, e-bay fees on mailing, Paypal fees on mailing as well as the cost of mailers and packing materials.  

Paypal accepted or write for preferred payment options.  Serious bidders only - payment must be received in ten days from notification.  All items are guaranteed upon return in condition sent, but mailing costs are NOT refundable.  Thanks for your interest and good luck.
