SPECIAL NOTE:
Over the next couple of weeks I will be posting core collection LPs from The Beatles, The Amboy Dukes, and The Animals - maybe a Led Zeppelin as well. Some are very nice and highly collectible - including STEREO & MONO editions, imports, German pressings, unreleased sets, and many other collectibles that are sure to catch your eyes.
Check back to see if there is something that fits your interest.
Thanks!
UPDATED SPECIAL NOTE:
9/28/64 to 3/13/18 - RIP Kim Gorman

**************************
Please read entire auction for any additional details concerning shipping and handling.
NOTICE TO WINNING BIDDER -- please do not pay for the auction immediately. Please allow me to send you an invoice, just in case insurance is requested to be added.
**************************
I will combine shipping if winning multiple lots or auctions. Please refer to non-album/LP auctions for combine shipping charges for those other auctions, because they will differ.
All LP grades assigned are subjective and may differ from another person's viewpoint. I am not a professional grader, but I have collected records and albums for over 35 years.
When LPs or records are play tested, they are disc-brush cleaned and then played on a 1980s Pioneer direct-drive turntable using Stanton or AudioTechnica needles.
Combined Shipping costs for LP auctions:
- Will be recalculated to include a new shipping charge. Additional costs will be applied after the shipping cost of the heaviest weighted auction that was won (i.e. a 2-LP record lot is heavier than a single LP lot.)
- I will combine auction shipment costs for up to four (4) LPs (4 single LPs, 2 double LPs, or a combination of both types, not to exceed four LPs in the album mailer) or up to four (4) 45rpm singles. I do this, so they will ship securely in a record mailer and without possible damage during shipment. An additional amount of $.50 per LP will be added after the initial charge and .25 per 45rpm single.
- I use a prefabricated 12" and 7" record mailers for all shipments and will only add insurance upon request.
NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING.
All sales are final and no returns will be accepted.
- I want to make you happy with your purchase and can ensure you are, if you first contact me with any issues that you may have, so I can resolve them amicably and to your satisfaction.
- My feedback is 100% and shows that I consistently ship fast, securely, and as described.
- Positive feedback will be given, when positive feedback is received.
