FOR PERSONAL REASONS, I AM LOWERING THE PRICES ON ALL MY VINYL AND AUCTIONS - MANY FAR BELOW COMPETITIVE.  MAKES FOR SOME RARE ITEMS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AT LOW PRICES - THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS FOR COLLECTORS.
THIS IS A FANTASTIC VINTAGE LP BY THE ICONIC TEMPTATIONS ENTITLED, "SKY'S THE LIMIT" WITH AN ALBUM COVER THAT APPEARS TO BE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION.  
THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOST SOUGHT-AFTER LP EVER PRODUCED BY THE TEMPTATIONS ON THE GORDY (MOTOWN) RECORD LABEL WAY BACK IN 1971.  THE SONGS ARE AWESOME AS WELL AS THE MUSIC. FANS KNOW. 
IT WAS GIVEN THE NUMBER OF GS957.  
THE ALBUM COVER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO MAJOR FLAWS AT ALL.  THE WORST THING YOU COULD POSSIBLY SAY ABOUT THE COVER IS A VERY FAINT WRINKILE IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE BACK COVER.  HOWEVER, TRUST ME THAT YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY LOOK FOR IT TO FIND IT.  IT IS A TOTALLY NON-ISSUE.
THE VINYL PLAYS OVERALL EXCELLENTLY WHEN PLAY-TESTED.  FOR WHATEVER REASON, THE FIRST SONG ON EACH SIDE OF THE RECORD APPEARS TO HAVE A "POP" NEAR THE BEGINNING.  ONE SIDE YOU CAN'T TELL FOR SURE BECAUSE SOUNDS LIKE A "POP" ALSO SOUNDS LIKE ONE OF THE INSTRUMENTS USED IN THE MUSIC AND BLENDS RIGHT IN.  AS SUCH, NEITHER "POP" ARE NOT THAT DISTRACTING AND LAST BUT A "HEATBEAT."  IT IS SIMPLY BY JOB TO MENTION ANY OBSERVATION I MAKE.  I DON'T HIDE BEHIND RATING CHARTS ARE VISUALS.  I TRY GIVE ALL THE FACTS WHEN TEST PLAYED.
THERE IS A LOT OF GREAT MUSIC ON THIS ONE.  THE LAST SONG ON SIDE 1 LASTS ALMOST 13 MINUTES (SMILING FACE SOMETIMES).  THE LAST SONG ON SIDE 2 LASTS OVER 9 MINUTES (BE LOVE BUT LOVE).
WAS THERE EVER A SINGING GROUP AS ICONIC AS THE TEMPTATIONS?  THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO OWN A PIECE OF SINGING HISTORY WITH AN ALBUM IN EXCELLENTLY- PRESERVED CONDITION. YOU CAN TELL BY THE PHOTOS I POSTED THAT THE ALBUM CERTAINLY HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED - JUST THE OPPOSITE - IT WAS TREATED WITH TLC.

THIS IS A MUSICAL AND AUDIO COLLECTIBLE FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR THE PROVEN HIGH QUALITY AND VALUABLE ENTERTAINING VINTAGE LP ISSUES FROM THE PAST. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IN THE CONDITION OF THE PACKAGE AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS AND DESCRIBED ABOVE.

THOSE REFLECTIONS IN THE SHINY VINYL ARE OF A CHANDELIER I HAVE HANGING OVER THE TABLE WHERE I TAKE MY PHOTOS.  DEFININTELY NOT ON THE ACTUAL VINYL. 

I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO SHOW JUST HOW NICE THE CONDITION IS OF ALL MY RECORD ALBUMS AND VINYL.  AS SUCH, I HAVE POSTED AS MANY PHOTOS AS I COULD THAT ARE INDICATIVE OF THE ALBUM COVERS, LABELS (WHEN LP IS OPENED), THE VINYL (WHEN LP IS OPENED), ETC. YOU CAN SEE THE EXCELLENT CONDITION OF THE ENTIRE PACKAGE AS IT EXISTS. I BELIEVE I POST MORE PHOTOS OF EACH ITEM IN EVERY AUCTION THAN MOST SELLERS SO THE BUYER CAN SEE THE HIGH QUALITY THEY ARE BUYING.

THIS COPY SHIPS FROM THE U.S.A. - NOT FROM OVERSEAS WHICH SAVES A BUNCH OF SHIPPING COSTS AND POTENTIAL DAMAGE.  HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO RETURN AN LP RECEIVED FROM OVERSEAS??  I HAVE, AND IT WAS A NIGHTMARE.

WILL CAREFULLY BE SHIPPED IN A BOX ESPECIALLY DESIGNED TO TRANSPORT THESE RARE AND UNUSUAL (VINTAGE) VINYL LP RECORDS.

NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING AT THIS TIME - Should I decide to ship International again,  I will ask International bidders please email me for additional shipping information before bidding SO WE CAN SAVE YOU AS MUCH SHIPPING AS POSSIBLE.   I normally list the shipping rates under First Class International which gives buyers the most economy rates, but does not insure the package.   When requested by the Buyer, I have also listed the option of using Priority Mail International which does.  Email me with any questions before the end of the auction, and I will gladly get back to you ASAP.  However, for now NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING.
