READ THIS! These records are NOT sold for perfect sound quality. They’re sold for their scarcity and VISUAL grading. They’ve been in storage for a decade, and they WILL play with surface noise that can be addressed with D4 or a VPI cleaning.  I can’t test-play at the minute. Please don’t bid if this is a problem for you.

So with that said…

Going George-heavy this week.

Beatles-Rel. 3-LP George Harrison All Things Must Pass 1970 First Pressing, EX to NM VINYL w/Poster!

Absolutely beautiful, complete copy of this landmark LP.  This one’s your keeper.

Vinyl--- NM/ NM/ NM/ EX/ NM/ EX.  Sides that are graded EX have only a few very faint lines that require viewing under a bare bulb to find.

Plates--- Z26/ Z23. Z23/ Z23. Z9/ Z9.  Hand-etched Delta symbol (or rifle) in the dead wax on all 6 sides makes this copy pressed in Winchester.

Box--- Nice VG. Front cover has an even dirtwear.  There are two scrapes on the right edge.  See photo.  Back cover has a price sticker from a used record store.  Box lid is unhinged, but aren’t we all? NO CORNERS ARE SPLIT.

Poster--- NM.  Looks practically 1970-new.  NO tears, dirtwear or fading. VERY light signs of handling.  ZERO finger divots.

Labels--- NM/ NM. NM/ NM. NM/ NM.  Side 3 label contains the “Awaiting On You” error.  NO SPINDLE MARKS ON ANY OF THE LABELS.

Apple Inner Sleeves--- All three are EX, NO SPLITS AMONG THEM!

For those of us who remember the smell of a boxed set upon its opening, this copy still has a trace of it.  It’s a cross between a new car smell and new album smell.

As these records have been in storage for many years, they will play back with crackling and tics, however; a good moisturizing and cleaning with either D4 Discwasher or a VPI machine always clears them up.  Thanks!)

Note:  All LP’s ship outside of their album covers in order not to damage the covers during shipment.

CAUTION!  There has been a startling increase in bidders canceling their bids.  A word to the wise, I have started blocking any and all bidders who retract their bids regardless of the reason.

Please don’t bid unless you’re willing to honor your amount, okay? Thanks!

(Please note:  Regarding play-testing, my Technics turntable has somehow seized.  The tone arm is stuck in the up position, and I can’t get it to fully return to its cradle.  Is there anyone out there, who can tell me if this is an easy fix?  Thanks!)

Winners in all other countries will be charged actual shipping to their locations, so please wait to be invoiced.  You will be quoted for the cheapest shipping to your country that the US post office can afford me.  Please let me know if you would prefer to pay for a faster means of shipping, but do NOT ask me to declare packages as gifts, or any other means of defrauding the postal services.  Much appreciated.
