This LP is Very Good to Very Good+. Rare, early, B B King LP. Replaced disk photo, was so dirty.
This is a collection on consignment. LPs are not as cared for as mine, so I will price appropriately. Some will have crackle and pops. I believe more collections, some serious' are going to up for bid thanks to customers like you.
LP is Mint-. WARNING FOR THE FINICKY: The back of cover says, and I quote, "However, some of these recorded, albeit under rather difficult conditions and on not so high-fi 78 r.p.m. discs during the thirties and forties." It also says many of these tunes were out of print when this LP was transferred to 33.3 LP. Very rare label. I bought in 1975.
I am going to start leaking out my Blues LP collection, which is almost as good as my Rock collection. Many old LPs, obscure labels, heavy vinyl, MANY Chess LPs and for the purist.
I am selling my personal album collection of almost fifty years, about 3000, begin with 1967. I never lent out LPs, always used a good turn-table, never used a drop spindle, always preened LPs before playing, and always put back into sleeve/cover before playing next album. I am going from A to Z and have an excellent collection of obscure “classic” rock bands from 1967 to 1980s, mostly early stuff. If you are looking for a specific group/LP, email me and I will list for you out of order. These LPs have not been played for over 20 years. Unless otherwise noted, they are Good+, minimal surface noise, not bad “pops” and definitely no skips. I grade by visual inspection and have not preened (cleaned) for photographs. Covers will show storage and moving (college dorm) wear, most have original sleeves and a few still have inserts.
I am not making massive pictures because I know what I am offering and you can be assured what you see is as I describe. Many, many will be classified as Mint – because again, these LPS were cared for since I purchased and some were hardly ever played.
All Payments due within three (3) days unless communicated to me PLEASE. If you wish to accumulate to save on postage, that is fine so long as you communicate and will pay every three (3) weeks or before.
ATTENTION – PROBLEMS: Please email me if you have any issues with our transaction prior to filing a complaint. I have been a buyer for 10+ years and now also sell, so I will work with you to resolve a legitimate complaint. Too many folks “fly off the handle” without asking for assistance.
ATTENTION – SHIPPING CONDITIONS: IF YOU WANT TO COMBINE MULTIPLE LOTS OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, YOU MUST EMAIL ME AND MAKE YOUR REQUESTED TERMS. IF NOT, ALL SALES ARE DUE WITHIN THREE (3) DAYS.
All shipping, unless otherwise stated, will be U.S. domestic postage, First Class, with tracking, media mail with tracking where applicable. If lot is stated as economy shipping, it will be by regular mail, properly packaged, but buyer assumes all risk of damage or non-delivery. You can always ask for a quote for First Class, with tracking.
If shipping is not advertised as “Free shipping”, combined shipping will be extended. Ask before you pay for multiple lots because paying after the fact of purchase voids my obligation to do such. I always take shipments to the post office; never leave in the mailbox. Shipping will include proper packaging materials (which have a costs) and said transportation to the post office.
All buyers are advised to inquire on insurance if shipped by regular mail or if over $400.00 which is included with domestic U.S. First Class mail and tracking.
Foreign bidders should inquire on shipping/handling prior to bidding. I add at least $3.00 over postage for travel cost to the U.S. Post Office, waiting in line, and filling out declaration paperwork. If you are part of the international shipping network threw eBay, these fees do not apply.
If any of these conditions are not acceptable to you, please reconsider bidding on my lots.
Mistake made on label, not Elektra, but GNP Crescendo Records. Sorry.
