Description
On offer here for one very lucky Chris Robinson Brotherhood fan is the chance to purchase all three volumes, on fantastic vinyl LP (plus 2xCD with vol.3), of the 'Betty's Blends' albums. They are all from my personal collection but it is time to thin the shelves a little and raise some funds for other things, so are on offer here at a bargain price.
Both vol. 2 'Best From The West' and vol. 3 'Self Rising, Southern Blends' remain factory sealed from new. Vol. 2 is a double LP, vol. 3 is a triple LP plus 2 x CD set. Volume 1 is a 4 x vinyl LP set, pressed on fanastic psychedelic splatter/colour vinyl and comes complete with full size booklet and not one but two of the miniature reproductions of the concert posters from which the recordings were taken. Not sure why there were two of these rather than one, there were 4 different designs, with a single one supposed to have been included with the LP, though my copy came with two different ones - lucky me, I guess, and lucky whoever purchases it now.
As I said, both volumes 2 and 3 are factory sealed. Vol. 2 has a tiny dink to the lower right corner but this is very small, vol. 3 has a couple of tiny dinks to the upper and lower corners on the spine, and I have included a number of enlargeable images so you can see these for yourself and how minor they are. Volume 1 has a couple of small imperfections to the cover, both were present when I purchased it below the factory shrink; the first is a little 'nick' to the left edge of the gatefold panel with the owl picture on, about halfway up, the second imperfection is to the right opening edge of the internal opening on the 'Centaur' panel, again about half way up. I have included photos to show these but they are small so please ensure you enlarge the images to see what I mean. They are small but they are there, and I want buyer's to be happy with things so try to point them out clearly in my listings, and normally make a bigger deal of them than others would so as not to cause any disappointments. Volume 1 had the factory shrink removed when I purchased it in order to inspect contents but the LPs have never been played so remain in unplayed condition and the album has been stored in a plastic outer cover since new, and the LPs look absolutely stunning in the flesh which I hope shows up in the pictures of them, even when taken through the inner sleeves.
I am offering these as one lot as they are rare and I thought it might be nice for someone to have the opportunity to purchase all three in one go, for significantly less than I would ask if I were selling them individually. There are a total of 9 slabs of vinyl in this sale, plus 2 CDs and all associated inserts and covers (3 kilos without weight of packing box/packaging materials), so the total weight takes the parcel over the normal 2 kilo maximum limit for Royal Mail, plus the combined value means that standard Royal Mail services wouldn't provide enough insurance. I will therefore be shipping these via courier with full tracking and insurance included in the postage price, hence the slightly high postage fee. I do not make money on postage (I often lose money on it, in fact) and I pack extremely securely for transit because I want items to arrive undamaged with buyers, just as I would hope to receive them myself. LPs (left in their inner sleeves) will be removed from the cover of vol. 1 and wrapped securely separately in the parcel, and I will pack out the cover of vol. 1 to prevent it being crushed or otherwise damaged too, all in a secure box with plenty of padding around the outside to prevent dents/knocks/etc. occurring en route. Please note that any import/customs fees due for overseas deliveries (not applicable within the EU) are the responsibility of the purchaser to pay and are non refundable.
Pictures on the listing are of the actual items for sale (7" singles record box visible in photo is not included), they will be very securely wrapped and boxed for very safe delivery.
Returns accepted provided the items remain in the same condition, complete and unaltered, in which it is sent out so vol. 2 and vol. 3 would need to remain factory sealed, and also provided buyer pays all return shipping costs and sends via a tracked and signed for shipping service. Any refund issued will be less the outward bound shipping fee paid during ebay checkout. I will not send to onward shipping companies for onward shipment overseas to countries not already detailed in my ship to locations, please check with me for overseas shipping price because I will need your location in order to give an accurate price if it is not already detailed on the listing. Shipping to Highlands and Islands is available but please check with me for a price because I will need your post code to quote for delivery.
