Red Hot Chili Peppers STADIUM ARCADIUM - 4LP Box Set SEALED! Purchased around day of release, this all-analog 4LP edition (mastered by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman) just kills it. THIS is the kind of record where I find analog vastly preferable to digital: Besides issues of image placement and instrumental textures (for which I find analog superior in execution), with digital I quickly hit a volume level that starts to get painful, particularly in the upper-mid frequency range. It's a very hard sound to my ears. And while there are certainly volume limits with any analog LP, on my system I can really crank it up to something approaching live music decibels, and it is thrilling. 
IMPORTANT:  Most of the box set is sealed in shrink wrap. However, there is a section measuring approximately 6 inches along the lower bottom right where the shrink has separated. Consequently, there is some wear to the lower right corner of the box (please see Picture 3), and a spot of wear on the rear lower right corner (Picture 4). Having said that, there is more than enough shrink wrap to assure the buyer that this is a SEALED copy. 

ABOUT SHIPPING AND HANDLING: Please note there is a $5 fee included in Ebay's estimate of Media Mail shipping costs. I believe the best way to way to ship an LP includes a 13"x14"x3" "pizza" style box, 12"x12" cardboard flats, outer shopping bag, and bubble wrap. The shipping boxes alone cost me over $3 each, and the average total cost of shipping materials is around $4.72, so this is NOT a money-maker for me. However, it does ensure, consistently, that these high value LPs arrive safely. Please check my feedback and I think you'll see that buyers appreciate the care with which these precious artifacts are handled.

About Me: I'm a long time Ebay buyer intent on selling a significant portion of my LP collection over the next year or two (or three!). I believe in the auction process, so I'm NOT going to list records at absurdly high prices, and I look forward to getting rare, out of print records into the hands of music lovers, record collectors and audiophiles (I consider myself all of the above). All LPS stored in a smoke-free, climate controlled environment. 

Please check my feedback and BID WITH CONFIDENCE. Also, please take a look at other items I'm listing (new items will be listed on Sunday and Wednesday nights), and good luck! 

PayPal Payments Only. Payment required within 3 days after the end of auction. All records will ship USPS Media Mail.
