Please read everything before bidding.
This is the last week of my extended 4th of July sale. This week, every auction has 10 items, and I'm still starting the bids at $4.00. These auctions will not be relisted, so take advantage of getting a great deal on several records. Some records are in better shape than others, so read the "Item Description" section very closely so you know exactly what you are bidding on. What you see in the pictures, and what you read in the description is how the album comes. Due to the weight of the packages, this week's auctions are for US bidders only. Also, I cannot combine shipping on these auctions. Each auction will be shipped in its own box, so if you win more than one auction, you will be required to pay the shipping on each box.
Shipping is $6.00 for Media Mail with USPS Tracking. I usually ship within 1 to 3 business days of receiving payment, depending on how soon you pay. If there are any problems with your invoice, please email me. Payment must be made within 4 days of auction's end. If, for some reason, you will need more than 4 days to pay, please contact me.

Item Description:

IMPORTANT: In light of recent events, I need to point out a couple of things. First off, even though I'm just a regular guy selling my collection and not a giant  mega-store, I still believe in giving excellent customer service. I'm easygoing, and I'm always willing to work with a buyer, if there is ever a problem with something purchased from me. All I ask from the buyer is that he/she deal with me in a rational manner, and I promise to resolve the problem. Secondly, since some people are either too stupid or too lazy to ask questions, and in the spirit of transparency, I should point out that I am a smoker. This is an issue for some people. If you are one of those people, you might want to reconsider before bidding on my auctions.

My grading scale: NM, NM-, EX+, EX, EX-, VG+, VG, VG-, Fair, Poor. So adjust your scale accordingly.

Yes-Fragile LP on Atlantic Records (SD 7211).

Original 1972 US pressing. Gatefold jacket. This is arguably the band's best album. It is supposed to come with a booklet with band pictures. But, this copy does not have one. "Roundabout", and "Long Distance Runaround" were the classic hits from this one.

Vinyl is borderline EX-/VG+ with some ticks/snaps, a few light pops, and some scuffs/light scratches. Has a very small heat warp that does not affect play. Plays fine. Otherwise, has mild warpage, typical of vinyl.

Jacket is borderline VG+ with strong edge wear along the side spine of the front panel (see pictures), very light edge wear along all of the other spines, bumped corners/corner wear, and shelf wear (bubbling, scuffing, cloudiness).

Synergy-Electronic Realizations For Rock Orchestra LP on Passport Records (PB 6001).
