CURVED AIR

- SECOND ALBUM

ORIGINAL U.K. Pressing

Warner Bros  K-46092

"A-3" - "B-3"  stamped etch in run out wax.  Also has a reference to the Mastering engineer - and this I have not seen referenced elsewhere. On one side is etched "Robspierre" and on the other "Rasputin".

Vinyl - Near Mint  ... looks to have never been played - with just a tiny hairline on Side A, almost impossible to see in any but the harshest direct light. Labels appear to have no trace of spindle marks.

Jacket - Excellent ... this is the die cut cover, exclusive to the English pressing, that when fully opened, forms a multi-dimensional poster. 

Most of the examples of this cover that you will see up for sale, have the opening of the first level (the outside front) either torn, frayed or even missing the margin of the cover paper. Not so here. The die cut layers are all intact.

Elsewhere, there is, on the lower left front, close to the bottom margin and spine - a surface tear, measuring roughly 5/8" x 3/8". There is a tiny bit of curling on the extreme edge margin of the front right opening, but nothing distressing there. All solid seams and very modest shelf / rub wear.

All in all, one of the best covers of this album that did not live its full shelf life in an outer sleeve.

Standard Media Mail Shipping for 1 LP is now just $3.85, doubles $3.95 - and each extra single LP that you win in the same auction cycle is just .50 additional up to 12 LPs total!

Things I'd like you to know:

Low starting prices don't = low quality! The minimum grade vinyl I list is VG+ but most are NM- to NM or M-

Exceptions to the general grade category of the LP and Cover are specifically noted in the description in detail. Mint, of course, is Mint (SEALED) without qualification.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS – WE WELCOME YOU

Email me (through 'Contact Seller') and I will quote shipping for you. Obviously, I have no way of tracking or confirming delivery to your residence – but I will be happy to provide the Customs ID number.

Friendly Seller:

I'm not paranoid, I don't have a chip on my shoulder, I don't jump to conclusions or have a defensive attitude about buyers and I don't breathe down buyers' necks for payment.

If you need an invoice – let me know - I'll be happy to prepare one, but other than that – if you want to continue shopping and combine auction wins, please just drop me a quick note. Bottom line – hassle free shopping.

SHIPPING NOTES:

All orders packed in LP Shipment grade mailing boxes.  The inside of the mailer is safely reinforced with recycled cardboard and / or Bubble wrap or Poly padding.

I ALWAYS provide delivery confirmation to you FREE of charge. Having said that – now and then, USPS Media Mail is going to be slower now because of the cutbacks - so, I will gladly, per your request, provide Priority shipping as an option at a similarly reasonable cost.

If you know you'll want Priority, please kindly alert me before you pay for the item.

I combine shipping on multiple auction wins.

I'll be listing many more in a diverse range of musical styles in coming weeks, so bookmark a listing and check back in.
