Up for auction is a beautiful original pressing of the Queen album Sheer Heart Attack, originally released in the U.S. on Elektra Records (7E-1026) in 1974:
Guaranteed early original pressing, NOT reissue -Original green "butterfly" Elektra labels
-"Queen" etched in deadwax
-10-17-74 pressing date etched in deadwax -Includes original poster w/ lyrics (Near Mint condition!)
-No UPC/bar code on cover -Vinyl comes in poly audiophile protective inner sleeve
Condition: Cover looks great, still has original shine, super clean with only minimal signs of wear or age.  No ring wear, no seam splits.  Corners sharp, hint of rub.  Seams are strong, clean.  Back is clean, hint of rub.  Keeper! Grade: Excellent Plus (EX+)
Vinyl also looks great, still has its original glossy shine, no apparent scratches or scuffs, perhaps some faint superficial signs of having been taken out of paper inner sleeve a couple times.  Labels are clean, no wear around spindle holes.  Looks like this record has maybe been played only once or twice previously but handled with care.  Nice! Grade: Near Mint (NM)

Combined Shipping:
Yes, I offer significant combined shipping discounts.  Just ask!

International Shipping:
Because of unreliable postal services, I ship using eBay's Global Shipping Program only, no exceptions.  It protects both the buyer and seller against loss or damage.

How I Pack Your Records:
I remove the records with inner sleeves from the covers prior to packing.  I sandwich the record between two pieces of cardboard for padding and protection.  I also reinforce the corners of the shipping box to protect the corners of the record jacket from damage.
100% satisfaction guaranteed, no risk buying.  My 100% positive feedback allows you to buy with confidence.  Returns accepted, no questions asked.

About Me: -I have been a record collector for over 40 years and a seller on eBay for over 20 years. 
-I consider myself a professional, not someone who is selling records he found at a garage sale like many on eBay. 
-I try to grade accurately -- beware of sellers who claim they grade "conservatively" -- rarely is that the case.
-I don't just give a record a grade, but I also explain why I give it the grade that I do. -I explain why I describe a record as "original" or a "first pressing" -- most records on sold on eBay as original are NOT. -I visually grade my records, and sometimes spot-test them for audio quality -- I can't listen to them all the way through. -Every stereo system is different, and what sounds good on mine may not sound good on yours.  If so, return it. -Every seller makes mistakes not matter how much experience they have -- record selling is NOT a perfect science. -If I make a mistake, or the record isn't what you expected, return it for a full refund -- and I will pay for return shipping. -I have 100% positive feedback for a reason -- and I strive to keep it that way by being accurate about what I sell.
