COMMENTS: US later pressing 2 album set. The iconic "White Album" from The Beatles.  You know the story, after a stay in Rishikesh, the band sat around with the Maharishi writing some incredible songs!!!  Songs include, Birthday, Back In the USSR, Ob-La-Di, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and so many more GREAT ones!!!  Critics say the album is individual fragmented songs with no direction, personally my fav!!!   Posters are as follows: The four individual photos are on a single sheet still attached with perferations, slight tearing.  Corners have creases.  The large 6 panel doubel-sided poster has been folded neatly, no tears or rips.    

 

This is my 15th year of successfully selling records on eBay!!  I take extreme care in buying and selling ONLY vinyl that is NEAR MINT, or very close to it.  My goal is to keep the dream alive for the art of collecting and selling PROMOTIONAL albums, from the 60's and 70's in jazz and rock n' roll.  PROMO albums are usually 1st pressings, they get released prior to the stock copies, and are generally as close to the master tape as the listener can obtain. They are pressed in extremely limited quantities, many get trashed by radio stations, but collecting them in top quality has been my specialty for many years. I also sell some hard to find ORIGINAL stock US, UK and Canadian pressings LP's.  AND AS ALWAYS...ALL records are from MY OWN PERSONAL collection of over 50 years and....NO JUNK!!! 

ALL my vinyl is visually graded and then PLAY graded on a REGA P3 turntable, through a McINTOSH MA6300 Integrated Amplifier which pushes (4) original JBL Century 100 speakers!!!

 

I clean all my records with a PROFESSIONAL Nitty Gritty record cleaning machine and pack ALL records carefully!!   FIRST, the records are cleaned, then placed in the inner sleeve outside of the record cover and inserted into a clear plastic outer record sleeve. SECOND, albums are bubble wrapped for safety and mailed in a STRONG cardboard record mailer box!!

 

SHIPPING:

FOR U.S. - $3.99 USPS media mail shipping or $9.99 USPS priority mail.

FOR INTERNATIONAL - DUE to the significant INCREASE in USPS international shipping costs, IT NOW COSTS $18.00 USPS First Class International to Europe/Asia for 1 album, $23.00 for 2 albums!!!!!  

NOTE: ALL International orders over $20.00 MUST ALSO INCLUDE the ADDITIONAL $12.00 for REGISTERED MAIL!!  This makes the package delivery much less worrysome!!!!   NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!

COMBINE record purchases to save $$$ on shipping!!

THANK YOU.
