This lot contains three 12-inch 33 RPM LP's by jazz organist Korla Pandit, all on the Fantasy label. In the order shown in the pictures, with notes on their cover conditions, they are:
Fantasy # 8013, pressed on semi-translucent deep red vinyl, is "Korla Pandit Plays Music of the Exotic East." It is stereo and undated, but appears to be a repress, with remnants of a sticker that was intended to replace the old catalog number (3272) with the new one (8013). The cover is are also in used and worn condition, with the top and bottom seams both starting to split (and patched with scotch tape) at the open ends, plus some paper loss at the upper right corner and some light scuffs and edge wear. 
Fantasy # 3286, pressed on translucent bright red vinyl, is "Korla Pandit at the Pipe Organ." It is mono and undated and is a promotional copy, stamped "DJ Copy, Not for Sale" on the back cover. The cover is totally split at the side seam, with the bottom seam just starting to split at the open end.
Fantasy # 8347, pressed on black vinyl, is "Korla Pandit in Paris." It is mono and dated 1962, but appears to be a repress like Fantasy # 8013. The cover is starting to split at the middle of the side seam.

The records look to be in played and worn condition, still nice and shiny, but with some visible surface scuffs and scratches. They all play through fine on my Audio-Technica turntable, with no skips or jumps, but with some light background noise, including some pops or clicks and a few passages of audible ticking. Because of variations in tracking ability, filtering technology and needle weights, I can offer no guarantees as to how well it will play on your equipment.


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.
