Description

The Beatles - "Blue Album" 1967-1970 stereo 2 Lp’s With OBI !!!(NOT A CD!) Japanese Pressing Label Number EAS 77005-6 (Record # 15 in the Japanese "EAS" series, from 1976 I believe)

If you are looking for this particular album, this one is a "Keeper" copy, a top condition example. Please see detailed description below.

Note: I am parting with a number of high quality Japanese and other audiophile albums this week. All albums were purchased from well known record dealers from around the world in the past few years, most of you will recognize their names (Carlos, Rick, Ichiro, Al, Angelos, Roy, Kaz, etc.,). This particular album was purchased from Al about 4 years ago when I was putting together a complete mint set of the Japanese "EAS" series.

Albums are accurately described and from my personal collection (the only kind of records I have, I’m a collector, not a dealer). If you have a question about the quality, please ask me, I’m happy to respond. I sell a few records about once a year, usually in the spring. It’s time!

Low starting bids and NO RESERVE!!!

7 DAY AUCTION ends Tuesday!!!

AMG Expert Review (www.allmusic.com):

Picking up where 1962-1966 left off, the double-album compilation 1967-1970, commonly called the "Blue Album," covers the Beatles' later records, from Sgt. Pepper through Let It Be. Like the Red Album, the Blue Album contains a mixture of hits, including singles like "Lady Madonna," "Hey Jude," and "Revolution" that were never included on an LP, plus important album tracks like "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," "A Day in the Life," "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," and "Come Together." Like its predecessor, 1967-1970 misses several great songs, but the compilation nevertheless does capture the essence of the Beatles' later recordings. — Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Note about my eBay Feedback:

At least 90% of ALL my feedback is based on audiophile record transactions, but you’ll have to go about halfway down the first page or so in my Feedback section (and further back) to find a lot of record sales. Much of my recent feedback was related to Christmas presents and a few items I sold from another hobby of mine. You may bid with confidence, PLEASE check my Feedback.

Winning bidder pays for carefully packaged shipping. Domestic (U.S.A.) postage is actual cost for priority mail based on weight and zip code (insurance is optional but recommended, I cannot be held responsible for lost or damaged items).

Payment methods accepted: Paypal, BIDPAY, Money Order, Cashiers Check, or U.S. Cash by Registered Letter.

Packaging: Shipped very securely. Record(s) are removed from Cover to prevent seam splits. Record(s) and cover are "sandwiched" between pieces of cardboard slightly larger than album Cover to prevent corner dings, securely taped, before being placed in heavy cardboard box with packing material. Professionally packaged, PLEASE SEE MY FEEDBACK. I pack very securely and have had no problems in the past, but insurance is still recommended on the more expensive items!
