1975 first Audiophile pressing, 1/2 speed mastered, pressed in Japan on virgin vinyl for release in Canada

Label / Catalog Number: A&M Records / SPJ-4519

Long Out of Print  —  Near Mint

(see ALL 12 photos)

Details:

Country: Pressed in Japan for Canada

Issue: the best information I can find is that this special audiophile issue was released in 1975 at the same time as the standard 1st issue

Vinyl Grade: Near Mint.  I purchased this album sealed, it is in like-new condition, the original fold-over flap still "sticks" to hold the outer cover closed.  There are NO spindle marks on either label (see close-up photos).  Beautiful mirror-like reflection in the vinyl, as new.

Deadwax Matrices: 

Side One: SPJ 4519 - A   (all hand-written)

Side Two: SPJ – 4519B - 1   (all hand-written)

Cover Grade:  VG+, would be near mint except for the crease in the upper left-hand corner (front), light edge-wear common to the gold on this jacket.  Always stored and protected in the original custom fold-over protective cover, which has the "Audiophile A&AM" sticker on the back flap and the "Pressed in Japan" sticker on the front plastic.

Inner Sleeve (original poly sleeve):  Near Mint, no seam splits.

Combined Shipping: You should be able to use the "Buy it Now" button for whichever listings interest you.  Please do not send payment until you have completed your order, because eBay will not allow me to print one postage label for multiple items that are paid for separately.  Once you have completed your selections, please DO NOT send payment yet, because eBay will not calculate the total correctly (it will be too high).  You may either request an Invoice for your total or wait until I send you an combined Invoice.  I will loosely package the items, weigh the package, and calculate the shipping based on the total weight (as described below) to save as much in shipping costs as possible.

Tracking: You should automatically receive your Tracking Number by email when the Shipping Label is printed.

eBay History of Record LP sales: 15 years on eBay.  Please do check my Seller feedback comments with regard to accurate LP grading, safe packaging and quick shipping.

Feedback: If there is any problem with your package, please contact me so that I have the opportunity to resolve the issue before leaving feedback.  My goal is to have happy customers and repeat business.  

Payment:  per eBay’s new policy, please make payment via PayPal within 2 days.

Shipping and Handling Time: Packages normally ship the day after payment (excluding weekends and holidays) with email notification and Tracking number.

Return Policy Details: 14 day return policy.  If the album is damaged during transit please let me know immediately and SAVE the packaging because it will be needed for the Insurance claim.  We will get the Insurance claim filed right away and process your refund as quickly as possible.

If there is a problem with the LP (not related to shipping damage), please contact us to explain the problem so that we have the opportunity to resolve it.  If a return is the best solution, you will be provided with a Return Authorization Number to include inside the box.  Buyer pays return shipping.

International Buyers – Shipping Options: International shipping options are listed above (see Shipping and Payments tab), shipping cost is automatically calculated by eBay shipping calculator. 

International Buyers – Customs Fees: Please be aware that your country may charge you Import Duties, Taxes or other Fees at the time of Delivery which are NOT included in the Item price or shipping.  Any such Import charges are the Buyer’s responsibility.  Please check with your country’s Customs Office to determine any additional Fees before bidding.

Weight Limit of 4 Lbs. for International First Class Mail:  Please note that First Class International Mail has a 4 Lb. weight limit.  If you make multiple purchases and the combined weight is over the 4 Lb. weight limit we will have to use two separate First Class International packages or use Priority Mail International.  If your combined total is over 4 Lbs. then I will contact you about the shipping (one package vs. two), but the shipping cost should be basically the same.
