CHUCK BERRY
AFTER SCHOOL SESSION
ROCK & ROLL LEGEND'S FIRST LP
CHESS LP 1426
1st PRESS BLACK LABEL
RARE IN THIS CONDITION

This is a really rare, hard to find late 50's treasure from one of R&R's founding fathers!  There are other early versions but this one is identified as the original issue by the absence of the box around the Chess ID on the front cover.  This was Chuck's first LP and rarely found in good condition.

As for the condition, the cover is strong, bright and shiny.  There are no stickers, no writing and no visible tearing and splits.  The corners and edges do show some storage and usage wear but that is minimal.  There is a bend on the front right bottom of the cover---it has caused the laminated covering to crease a bit.  Not a big issues but is noted here for the buyer to know.  Spine is intact and clean.  Overall, a great cover.  The vinyl is shiny and clean with visible scuffing and minor scratching probable as is the case with any used record of this age.  Overall, the vinyl looks to be in clean, glossy condition.  The inner sleeve is probably the original, blank sleeve.

The seller gives only visual impressions and is not at all knowledgable about this generation or genre of music.  Buyers should feel free to email any questions in advance please.  We ship our records in the specially designed mailers sold by Bags Unlimited.  We take pride in carefully preparing and shipping each record. 

The photos will confirm the stated condition.  As with all records, there is always the possibility of minor scuffing and scratching due to storage.   

Practices and Policies:
We describe condition and version to the best of our ability but the seller is not a records grading expert so please inquire in advance for additional details or concerns concerning quality or version of a particular record.  We do not listen or grade but we do offer as much visible information as possible. We always take multiple clear, close photos and invite questions about quality or version of an item in advance of bidding. 

Our refund policy is based on total buyer satisfaction so we only refund full payment upon return.  We do not offer post purchase partial refunds. 

INTERNATIONAL
To our many wonderful international buyers, a reminder we always comply with Ebay and Customs official policy and code the "value" slot of the Customs Form with the actual purchase price .   Also please note that the USPS 1st International shipping includes a Customs Tracking number.  Recently that number has not been posting on the website with records we have shipped overseas.  Upon contacting the local post office, they were able to confirm all of our shipments had been processed and mailed through their computers but the standard, and previously reliable Customs Tracking number (Usually an LC number) has been missing and inconsistent.  This is probably temporary but we did want our international customers to know that we will continue posting those numbers but do not be alarmed if they are not trackable.  In the rare instance of a missing record, USPS can provide status with a phone call placed to them.

This is one of many records being listed so please review the seller's other items for the possibility of combined shipping.  We pack and ship worldwide with the highest level of care and speed.  USPS Media Mail is the default mode for domestic purchases.  We do now include tracking information on all shipments without exception.    __________________________________________________________
