1968 PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN LP SOUNDTRACK - ORG GATEFOLD w BOOK- N MINT VINYL

$

25

THIS AUCTION FEATURES AN ORIGINAL 1968 GATEFOLD VINYL ISSUE (WITH BOOK INSERT) OF THE ICONIC WALT DISNEY LP, "PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN SOUNDTRACK."

THE ALBUM COVER RECENTLY SUFFERED SHORT "SEAM TEAR" DAMAGES.  AS SUCH, I HAVE LOWERED THE PRICE TO REFLECT THOSE DAMAGES. (SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS).

ON THE OTHER HAND, THE ACTUAL VINYL RECORD IS STILL NEAR MINT AND PLAYS EXCELLENTLY.  I PLAYED BOTH SIDES TWICE TO MAKE SURE. 

THIS IS A SOUGHT-AFTER ALBUM WHICH ALLOWS ALL OF US TO RELIVE OUR CHILDHOOD. THE SOUNDS AND SONGS ON THE LP ARE THE ORIGINAL ONES THAT ARE USED IN THE ACTUAL ADVENTURE RIDE AT DISNEYLAND (AND DISNEY WORLD, OF COURSE).  THE ADVENTURE IS A LANDMARK DISNEY CREATION THAT OPENED WHEN THE AMUSEMENT PARK DID.

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL ALBUM WITH THE BOOK INSERT, NOT THE NEWER ISSUE WITHOUT THE BOOK.  

THE BOOK IS A FULL-COLOR MULTI-PAGE ILLUSTRATED INSERT. THE PHOTOS ARE ACTUAL PHOTOS OF THE DISNEYLAND ADVENTURE ATTRACTION THAT THE WHOLE WORLD HAS ENJOYED FOR DECADES.

UNTIL RECENTLY, THE ALBUM COVER HAD ONLY A FEW MINOR AGE FLAWS, BUT WAS IN OVERALL FANTASTIC CONDITION CONSIDERING IT'S AGE.  THERE WERE NO SEAM DAMAGES AT THAT TIME, BUT, UNFORTUNATELY, NOW HAS MINOR SEAM RIPS (NOT FULL SEAM RIPS) ON ALL FOUR SIDES OF THE MAIN COVER.  SOME ARE HARD TO SEE WHILE OTHERS ARE MORE PRONOUNCED.  I HAVE INCLUDED SOME SAMPLE PHOTOS OF THE TYPE OF SEAM RIP TO WHICH I PREFER.  THERE ARE ALSO SOME WRINKLES IN THE PAPER STOCK OF THE COVER THAT NEED TO BE MENTIONED.

BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, I WOULD SIMPLY HAVE TO RESORT TO WHAT OTHER SELLERS REFER TO IN THEIR DESCRIPTIONS AS AS THE ALBUM COVER HAVING SOME AGE WEAR.

AS SUCH, I AM NO LONGER ADVERTISING THE COVER AS EXCELLENT OR NEAR MINT.  AT THE SAME TIME, IT IS THE ORIGINAL HISTORICAL COVER THAT STILL HAS THE PHOTO INSERT AND HAS SENTIMENTAL VALUE.  THE FACT THAT THE ALBUM COVER IS NOW COMPROMISED IN THE FASHION I DESCRIBED, I HAVE LOWERED THE PRICE OF THE ENTIRE PACKAGE BEYOND COMPETITIVE.  AGAIN, I EMPHASIZE THAT THE ACTUAL VINYL RECORD IS EXCELLENT AND WOULD BE A NICE REPLACEMENT FOR SOMEBODY WHO NEEDS THE VINYL FOR THIS ALBUM.

THE INSIDE BOOK INSERT HAS A SMALL 1/2-INCH TEAR AT THE VERY TOP OF PAGE 9.  IT IS SMALL AND HARD TO SEE, BUT IT DOES EXIST IN A FASHION THAT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE ANY FORM OF MAJOR DAMAGE.  IT IS SIMPLY A FACT THAT IS MINE TO MENTION.

WE ALL RECOGNIZE THE ICONIC FEATURES SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS. TOO BAD WE CAN'T STAY KIDS OUR WHOLE LIFE. THEY WERE THE GOOD OLD DAYS. THIS ICONIC WALT DISNEY LP WILL HELP.  

I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO SHOW JUST HOW NICE THE CONDITION IS OF ALL MY RECORD ALBUMS.  AS SUCH, I HAVE POSTED AS MANY PHOTOS AS I COULD THAT ARE INDICATIVE OF THE COVER, THE LABELS, THE VINYL, ETC. YOU CAN SEE THE EXACT CONDITION OF THE ENTIRE "UNIQUE" PACKAGE AS DESCRIBED.

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