Artist ALPHATAURUS Title self-titled Information Japan - King Records - 1983? - K22P-328
(country of pressing - label - year of release - number) Comments Single cover with insert and Obi.
It's a little sad to see the single cover, for the original has panoramic tri-foldout cover. But the pressing quality is great. The insert has cut out in corner. This happens often because there was a campaign coupon. The campaign was like "Send us 10 tickets and get a present record". The present record for this time was a 1st New Trolls or High Tide/Sea Shanties. Highly recommended for those who love heavy/dark Italian prog like Museo Rosenbach. Condition The disc is in M-, seems to be played a few times only, no damages at all.
Check-played all through after cleaning with VPI HW-17, not visual grading!
The cover is in EX+, has a few creases around edges (see additional photos). otherwise, M-.
the Obi has a tiny tear, about 8mm, on back, and a bigger tear, 22mm, on bottom. Additional photos Click here * If the link doesn't work, feel free to ask me e-mail for photos. Postage

CAUTION about $4 shipping option. As eBay forces sellers to accept such shipping option to US, I accept it. This will be surface mail only and it may take three months to arrival. To save the weight, I will send records without ANY protective package. I mean any, items will be sent NAKED without even plastic bags. Not only your address will be written directly on the cover, but also postal stamps are glued directly on the cover. So, if you are lucky enough, you will receive trashed records months later. I am not responsible for this, it's your choice. Further to this, it still costs me more than $4! Ridiculous. This is the second day.
About the postage, I often receive questions like "how much for 2 LPs? 3LPs?". It's always difficult to answer. The postage is calculated on the actual weight, and the weight of a record is very different. For example, the difference between two thick gatefold cover items and two thin single cover items is very big. Two thick cover items with package make 1050g, the postage $22+4 to Europe, whereas two thin cover items make 760g, the postage $16+4 to Europe. I can only say as a general idea, if you buy more, postage per item becomes lower.
