Original, early 1970s Yoko Ono (with John Lennon and Elephant's Memory) two-LP set entitled, "Approximately Infinite Universe." This is on the Apple label SVBB 3399 (original first pressing). This LP, along with many of the other sealed LPs I currently have listed, came from the estate of a former DJ who used to acquire his records back at the time they were originally first released (i.e. in the 1960s and very early 1970s). Grading is as follows: 
The vinyls are both still factory sealed and mint!! Just super!!

The gatefold cover is still factory sealed and it looks great also!! There is just a little minor 'curling' to one of the bottom corners only (i.e. from the tightness of the shrink over the years...) but it is still very sharp and sound. There are also a couple very tiny tears in the shrink. Aside from that, no splits, no tears, no creases, no writing, no stains, no cutout holes, no delete marks, no missing shrink, etc. Again, just outstanding!!

***PLEASE NOTE that sealed LP's (such as this one) may only be returned to me if they are still sealed. I will not accept any returns if it is opened or tampered with in any way beyond what is already noted in the description and/or shown in the photos.*** 



Please review the photos for song titles and additional details. Please scroll below to see my full vinyl and cover/sleeve grading guidelines. Vinyl gradings are visual only, unless I specifically state otherwise. Please also see the other, similar items I currently have listed on Ebay; I do combine shipping.
All of my LPs are shipped in professionally-designed, heavy duty cardboard mailers with extra cardboard padding.    

I personally write all of my own descriptions, take all of my own photos, and package all items for mailing myself.  I do not use text, photos or information from “other” sources and would certainly never do so without referencing them. Items pictured in any of my listings are always the actual items that buyers will receive from me.

 
Payment by PAYPAL ONLY....I do not accept any other form of payment. Unless the buyer makes a different arrangement with me (i.e. contacts me directly), payment is expected within three days (72 hours) from the closing date of the item. After three days, an unpaid item case will automatically be opened and the buyer then has four additional days to complete payment (per Ebay's terms).

I am always happy to offer COMBINED SHIPPING for ALL BUYERS for up to one week from the closing date of the initial purchase. Final payment is always expected WITHIN ONE WEEK FROM THE CLOSING DATE OF THE BUYER'S INITIAL PURCHASE. Please don't expect items to be held for more than one week while additional bids are placed. Please try to be considerate of this request when bidding on multiple items on different dates.


Buyer satisfaction and returns:  I offer what I believe is a very reasonable return policy for all individual items (and smaller lots) that I sell. The item must be returned to me exactly as it was packaged and mailed to the buyer. I will refund the original sale price and shipping fee only; return shipping is the buyer’s responsibility. I do not give ‘partial’ refunds either (i.e. the buyer keeps the item for a lesser price). This policy applies to U.S. and non-U.S. buyers alike and regardless of the final sale price of the item. That being said, please ask any and all questions you may have before bidding.

Items are normally shipped within 1 to 2 business days from receipt of payment.

My vinyl and cover/sleeve gradings are as follows:


MINT: I do not use this grade except for sealed/unopened items.


NEAR MINT or MINT MINUS: Vinyl looks basically brand new, untouched, unplayed or nearly unplayed. Cover looks pretty much as new with no real flaws to speak of. This is basically how the item would have looked when it was new from the factory.


VG++: Very close to M-, with vinyl showing only the very slightest, most subtle signs of any past handling or play. Cover may show just the barest hint of wear from age, but nothing at all serious or detracting. 


VG+: Vinyl shows some subtle signs that it was played in the past, but was generally well taken care of. Cover shows only some minor signs of age or wear, but nothing too detracting.


VG: Vinyl is beginning to show more obvious signs of past handling and play but still has strong sound quality overall. Cover is beginning to show more signs of age and wear, but is fully intact and still displays very well overall.


GOOD: Vinyl has very obvious signs of wear from over the years, but still plays strongly and enjoyably enough. Cover has obvious wear and tear from age, but is intact and still displayable.


***My very good and good records are very good and good, not bad and even worse! I also do not use the EX (excellent) grading at all.***


FAIR:  Record wasn’t properly cared for in the past and very clearly shows it, but it is still playable and should be enjoyable enough for some. I rarely offer records in this condition.
