FOR PERSONAL REASONS, I AM LOWERING THE PRICES ON ALL MY VINYL AND AUCTIONS - MANY FAR BELOW COMPETITIVE.  MAKES FOR SOME RARE ITEMS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AT LOW PRICES - THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS FOR COLLECTORS.
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT 1969 1ST EDITION COPY OF THE GATEFOLD ALBUM BY THE GROUP THAT SIMPLY CALLED THEMSELVES, "THE BAND."  THE ALBUM IS SELF-TITLED, "THE BAND."
THE CONDITION OF THE WHOLE PACKAGE IS EXCELLENT WITH NO MAJOR FLAWS.  THE VINYL PLAYS EXCELLENTLY WITH ONLY A FEW STRAY CRACKLES MAINLY IN BETWEEN SONGS.  AT NO POINT DO ANY IMPERFECTIONS CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE MUSIC AND/OR SINGING.  THE ALBUM DELIVERS THE SAME QUALITY OF ENTERTAINMENT NOW AS IT DID BACK IN 1969 WHEN IT WAS PRODUCED (52 YEARS AGO). 
THIS ISSUE HAS THE LIME GREEN LABEL AND WAS PRODUCED BY CAPITOL RECORDS AND NUMBERED STAQ-132.  
THE OWNER DID NEATLY STAMP HER NAME IN SMALL PRINT ON ONE OF THE LABELS AND FRONT COVER. YOU HAVE TO LOOK HARD TO SEE THE STAMPED NAME ON THE FRONT COVER, BUT I WANTED TO SIMPLY MENTION IT.  - SEE PHOTOS.
THERE ARE NO RIPS, SEAM TEARS, OR OTHER FORMS OF ANY MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE COVER.  NICE PHOTOS INSIDE THE GATEFOLD.  SEE PHOTOS OF INSIDE GATEFOLD.
THE MUSIC IS VINTAGE COUNTRY FOLK ROCK EXCLUSIVE TO "THE BAND."  FANTASTIC ARRAY OF SONGS - SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY.

THIS IS A MUSICAL AND AUDIO COLLECTIBLE FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR THE PROVEN HIGH QUALITY AND VALUABLE ENTERTAINING VINTAGE LP ISSUES FROM THE PAST. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IN THE CONDITION OF THE PACKAGE AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS AND DESCRIBED ABOVE.

THOSE REFLECTIONS IN THE SHINY VINYL ARE OF A CHANDELIER I HAVE HANGING OVER THE TABLE WHERE I TAKE MY PHOTOS.  DEFININTELY NOT ON THE ACTUAL VINYL.     

I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO SHOW JUST HOW NICE THE CONDITION IS OF ALL MY RECORD ALBUMS AND VINYL.  AS SUCH, I HAVE POSTED AS MANY PHOTOS AS I COULD THAT ARE INDICATIVE OF THE ALBUM COVERS, LABELS (WHEN LP IS OPENED), THE VINYL (WHEN LP IS OPENED), ETC. YOU CAN SEE THE EXCELLENT CONDITION OF THE ENTIRE PACKAGE AS IT EXISTS.

 I BELIEVE I POST MORE PHOTOS OF EACH ITEM IN EVERY AUCTION THAN MOST SELLERS SO THE BUYER CAN SEE THE HIGH QUALITY THEY ARE BUYING.

THIS COPY SHIPS FROM THE U.S.A. - NOT FROM OVERSEAS WHICH SAVES A BUNCH OF SHIPPING COSTS AND POTENTIAL DAMAGE.  HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO RETURN AN LP RECEIVED FROM OVERSEAS??  I HAVE, AND IT WAS A NIGHTMARE.

WILL CAREFULLY BE SHIPPED IN A BOX ESPECIALLY DESIGNED TO TRANSPORT THESE RARE AND UNUSUAL (VINTAGE) VINYL LP RECORDS.

NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING AT THIS TIME - Should I decide to ship International again,  I will ask International bidders please email me for additional shipping information before bidding SO WE CAN SAVE YOU AS MUCH SHIPPING AS POSSIBLE.   I normally list the shipping rates under First Class International which gives buyers the most economy rates, but does not insure the package.   When requested by the Buyer, I have also listed the option of using Priority Mail International which does.  Email me with any questions before the end of the auction, and I will gladly get back to you ASAP.  However, for now NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING.
