The Hollies were one of the great British Invasion bands and were led by the beautiful voices of the individual members. Led by Graham Nash and Allan Clarke, they utilized three part harmonies as well as, or better than, any of the bands of the era. This is a fabulous compilation of 26 – yes, 26 -  of their biggest hits and most unforgettable classics. The album was released on the British EMI label in 1993, number EMTV 74.  This is the original release of the album. The vinyl is in pristine condition with its bright original luster and no scratches or scuffs. It plays with virtually no background noise.  The vinyl grades NM.  The album cover shows no ring wear and very light corner wear.  All seams are clean, intact, sharp, and tight.  The original lined label inner sleeve is included and has all seams intact. The cover grades VG+.

Grading Information:

I always clean and listen to every record I list on eBay. I do this to make sure I can give as accurate a description of each record as possible.  I do both a visual check and an audio check. I always attempt to give as objective a grading as I can.

 

I use four grades in grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition. Sealed albums may not be returned. My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve. The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects. It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background noise. On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects than your VG+ rated album.  Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading. Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there. That’s why I play every album first.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG. 

 

Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth owning as a filler copy. Albums graded G are not returnable.

 

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping:

The shipping cost will be based on the weight of your package. For Media Mail, shipping is $7.00 in the continental U.S. I apologize for the increase in shipping cost. The USPS has raised postage rates again. Shipping a single email now costs $5.38, so even at $7, the cost of supplies means I still end up losing money on each album. I will happily combine records from multiple auctions to reduce total shipping cost. In fact, I welcome it! Shipping will be $7.00 in the U.S regardless of the number of auctions won in any 5-day period. Also, please keep in mind that if your entire transaction totals $50 or more, I will pay the entire shipping cost.

 

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. The first album will typically cost approximately $28. Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.

 

Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country. Typically, the cost per album will be no more than $30.  Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.

 

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.
