This lot contains two 12-inch 33 rpm LP's featuring Michael Jackson, both on the Motown label. In the order shown in the pictures, they are:
Motown # M-741L - "The Jackson 5 Greatest Hits" by the Jackson Five (dated 1971 and comes with the Jackson 5 inner sleeve shown in the pictures).
Motown # M-747L - "Got to Be There" by Michael Jackson (dated 1972, plain white inner sleeve).
The Jackson 5 album looks to be in about VG+ condition, still nice and shiny, but with a few surface scuffs and scratches. It plays through with mostly negligible background noise, just some occasional pops or clicks or light ticking. "Got to Be There" shows more signs of wear, and it plays, predictably, with more prominent background crackle, including a few forward jumps (but no repeats). Because of variations in tracking ability, filtering technology and needle weights, I can offer no guarantees as to how well they will play on your equipment. Please also check the pictures for stickers on the labels and other label damage (especially Side Two of "Got to Be There", which looks like a production error).
The Jackson 5 LP cover is embossed and has intact seams, but some scuffs and stains and surface rubbing and edge wear. The Michael Jackson cover is partially split at the side and bottom seams, and has a seam split started at the top. It also has some surface rubbing and edge wear, and a price sticker on the front.
International Buyers – Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges. We won't under-value merchandise or mark the item as a gift on customs forms. Doing that is against U.S. and international laws. COMBINED SHIPPING: See our seller list for other interesting and unusual items, in fact bid on several and you might save on shipping and handling. If you buy multiple items, and if it's feasible and cost-effective for us to ship the items together, we will gladly consider requests to combine shipping at a reduced cost. Just e-mail us, and we can provide combined shipping cost estimates on a case-by-case basis. Depending on weight and other considerations, we typically offer full shipping rate for the first item, then 50 cents or $1.00 per item. And if you are purchasing multiple items, please make the payment as a single payment, rather than trying to pay for each item separately. Oh, and this may sound obvious, but we can't reduce the shipping charges for items on which we offer free shipping.
SHIPPING COSTS: If the eBay auto-calculator is not responding, or if you think our shipping costs are too high, please contact us prior to bidding to determine your shipping options and costs. Repeat, prior to bidding, please.
FEEDBACK: Because of abuses we've experienced in the past, we have totally given up on the eBay feedback system, so we neither give nor expect feedback. Please, therefore, do not contact us after the auction asking us to leave feedback. If you ever have a problem with an item you purchase from us, please contact us directly about it before giving negative feedback or seller ratings, and especially before invoking eBay's dreaded Grand Tribunal in processes like "Return Requests" or "Opening an Item Not as Described Case." No one is perfect, and we occasionally mis-describe something, or an item arrives late or gets damaged in the mail, but we are always quick to respond to a problem and set it straight in the most mutually agreeable way.
