ELTON JOHN - 1st SELF-TITLED UNI LP NEW / SEALED / MINT

$

68

This item is a beautiful, original vinyl LP pressing of the classic 1st US album by Elton John, entitled Elton John.  It was released on the Uni Records Label (which was a subsidiary of the Universal label).  I can vividly recall getting this album.  I was probably about 11 years old and had three morning paper routes.  One of my customers, a very nice woman, knew that I was a big music fan and she gave me my first copy of this record as a Christmas tip.  Given the fact that I still remember 35+ years later, it was obviously a memorable event in my life.  I still remember bringing it home and playing it, and even though I knew nothing about Elton John (I would soon due to the hits from the album), I thought it was terrific.  I still think that The Greatest Discovery is one of the most moving songs I have ever heard.  This original pressing is new, still-sealed and in mint condition.  I cannot imagine that there are many of these around, so this would be an excellent addition to any Elton John collection.

As noted above, this pressing is in new, still-sealed and mint condition, as shown in the photo.                                       

I do not use stock photos.  The photo shows the actual item up for auction.

I am not a dealer, and all of the items I place up for auction are from my personal collection gathered over the past forty years.  I am selling my collection little by little to pay for college expenses for my two kids, in my spare time. 

The shipping costs are as follows: $4.00 for one LP via media mail to anywhere in the U.S.   Each additional LP is an additional $0.40 for media mail shipping.  Priority shipping within the U.S. is a function of weight and postal zone, and I will e-mail an invoice indicating the cost of priority (I can also provide this info while the auction is pending, if you e-mail me your zip code and the number of LPs). 

Insurance through the USPS is available, and once again my invoice will provide the cost information. 

NOTE:  Sealed items are collectible because they are sealed.  Since I do not own a store, I cannot return items to the manufacturer.  Once opened, I cannot refund the purchase price in full because opening significantly affects its value. 

NOTE: Media mail does not have tracking.  The USPS offers delivery confirmation with online tracking.  If you want online tracking with delivery confirmation,  ability, you must purchase delivery confirmation for $0.75. 

International Buyers – Please Note:

·         Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

·         Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

·         These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.

·         We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.

I will always combine items, so that shipping costs will be more manageable.  Payment may be made by paypal.  If I do not receive payment for an item within fifteen (15) days of the end of the auction and I do not hear from you in response to e-mails, I will consider the auction results void and relist the item(s) for auction.  

Should you have any questions at all about postage, the payment method or for details about any item in particular, please do not hesitate to contact me.
