CRANIUM'S The Byrds SWEETHEART OF THE RODEO Lp SEALED

$

98

No hype about this lp should be necessary other than I am confident (based on WEIGHT, CONSTRUCTION and KNOWLEDGE of the collection this came from) that this contains an original 360 label stereo disc. Should you disagree it may be returned unopened for a full refund. Also if you wish to examine my feedback you can easily find another sealed copy I just received feedback for that I sold this past month. That copy belonged to me and even though it is possible that it was a lighter 360 copy, I was confident it WAS NOT an original and stated such in the listing

If you are a serious collector then this is the time for your FULL ATTENTION to CRANIUM'S auctions as this OLD HIPPIE COLLECTION is as fine a classic rock collection to EVER hit ebay. I apologize that it is taking me so long to get it all listed but your patience will be rewarded as I am at least half done now. You think you have seen some great stuff up to this point! Then keep looking as I am listing more amazing gems everyday..........

.............. from the massive and brilliant OLD HIPPIE COLLECTION that I am listing for auction this week. This collection is personally known to me......is being sold on consignment and is a simply amazing offering of classic rock, folk, hard rock, psych, seminal pressings, promos and sealed copies with most being top flight original pressings. I have known the old hippie my entire life and unfortunately he was a victim of downsizing after 27 years at the same job. So it is my honor to help him sell these.

PLEASE! scroll down to look at all of the photos at the bottom of this listing. MY FORMAT is DIFFERENT than ebay's standard small photos at the top.

PLEASE! read the item description and grade below carefully as it should match the photos that accompany this listing.                                                                           

ALL PHOTOS are of the actual record you are bidding on. I am happy to hold and combine items during this auction period in which all listings should be ended by the middle of April.

GRADING: I try to give an accurate representation of the record with a numerical value. I infer that the records should play their visual grade. I have given a numerical grade to correspond to typical record grading for the approximate percentage of wear. For example, excellent/85 means the disc should have about 15% wear/marks from a NEW record. Sealed records should be new. By looking at the photos you can find band info and song titles.

MINT = 100

NEAR MINT = 92-99

EXCELLENT/NEAR MINT =89-91 (borderline near mint)

EXCELLENT = 82-88

VG+/EXCELLENT = 79-81 (borderline excellent)

VG+ = 72-78

VG/VG+ = 69-71 (borderline vg+)

VG =62-68

Go to my FEEDBACK RATING and look at my ITEM AS DESCRIBED rating. I am amongst the BEST ON EBAY! I try to make it like you are actually holding the item in your hand and this numerical system allows you to get the best idea of exactly what you are buying. And really, isn't that what is truly important? I point out details and don't hide them like other ebay sellers!

FINALLY: If you want to know about me, my grading or other store info then click on the me icon above next to my feedback rating. I do not sell new or newer reissue lps. The Archives I am liquidating have been sitting on shelves for at least 15 years. All my lps are vintage unless otherwise noted. Unless I am confident of my facts (and even then I've been wrong) I do not try to distinguish which pressing it is or fill you full of blather about the lp. I prefer to let you look at the photos and description and do your own research as to the desirability of each piece. I strive through photos to give the most accurate representation of records on ebay. I take photos of the covers, labels and other pertinent details.  I do occasionally misspell and make cut/paste/ and other stoner mistakes, and I appreciate when others help me out. GOOD LUCK!

I AM AN HONEST AND SQUARE DEALER. I STAND BEHIND MY PRODUCT AND GRADING/PHOTOS.......I DO BACK EVERYTHING I SELL. JUST EMAIL ME IF YOU EVER EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM AND I'LL MAKE IT RIGHT.

Shipping is normally done one to two times a week BUT..... I have set my shipping time to 5 days due to the volume I am dealing with this month. Would you like feedback? Then go ahead and give me feedback and email me and I'll return the favor.
