PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING:
Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question.
OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week.
Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.
Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback.
We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.
We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.
Thank you for your interest and support.

The great GRAND FUNK RAILROAD in their peak of their success...
Grand Funk's third studio album, 1970's CLOSER TO HOME, was the album that catapulted the band into the big time and placed it at the top of the hard rock heap. One of GFR's most consistent albums, the most recognizable song remains the title track, which deals with the nightmare of getting drafted into the then still raging Vietnam war. Add to it such other solid rocking heavies as "Sin's a Good Man's Brother," "Nothing is the Same," and "Hooked on Love," and you have arguably Grand Funk's finest album. Throwing a beautiful hook and strong arrangement into the hard rock mix on the epic "I'm Your Captain," it also contained the show-stopper "Mean Mistreater."
"Sin's a Good Man's Brother" 4:35 "Aimless Lady" 3:25 "Nothing Is the Same" 5:10 "Mean Mistreater" 4:25 "Get It Together" 5:07 "I Don't Have to Sing the Blues" 4:35 "Hooked On Love" 7:10 "I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home)" 10:00
CONDITION: the thick/weight heavy gatefold is STILL FACTORY SEALED ... amazing to find in NEVER PLAYED condition. Note, after 46 years dust has settled under the plastic outer wrapper - no problem, the cover will wipe off completely to new/mint appearance with soft damp cloth... The cover is stiff and strong; flat and square with 4 sharp corners ... Normally this is an incredibly hard cover to find without contact rub & shelf wear - here is a SEALED copy 46 years later - final collection copy .... ages old discount store price sticker on outside of the cellophane ....
