This week I'm auctioning a batch of selected LPs. I have done my best to present and describe the albums accurately. I've spent several years doing a deep research dedicated to classic rock records so all the information collected about a particular album is listed below. I'm not going to call any record "megarareprereleaseearliestpossiblematrixnumberstamperscopy" just because it's the record I'm selling at the moment (like some sellers, sadly, do). Below you'll find just pure facts. 

A note for potential buyers: I guarantee shipping next day after payment has been received but I cannot guarantee delivery time. It's December and postal services are working slower than usually so please keep this in mind if you need delivery before Christmas. European buyers may expect delivery within 10-15 days but to other destinations it may take more.

There's a RESERVE PRICE set for this auction which is ABSOLUTELY REASONABLE, if you're serious about buying this item feel free to contact me if you wish to know the reserve amount.

GEORGE HARRISON Electronic Sound guaranteed first original USA pressing SEALED TOP COPY

Pressing details.

Record / label

This album was the second and last album to be released on the short-lived Zapple label. It's not known which label design version is inside the sealed cover but there were just two versions both belonging to the first (and only) and having minor differences in printing font on the label. There was simply NO SECOND PRESSING of this album. As this album was recorded in the USA the first USA pressing is a true original and becomes a good investment in such condition!

Matrix numbers, other run-out info: unknown as the album is sealed

Cover

Typical USA type construction late 1960-ies cover, everything you may want to know about it is on the pictures.

Inner sleeve

For sure the original printed inner sleeve may be seen through the area of the torn shrink.

Condition

Sealed copy, the record is assumed to be MINT. The cover is NEAR MINT due to one wrinkle on front seen under a definite angle only, otherwise FULL MINT, the shrink is partly torn at the opening but the album is still sealed and the record can't be taken from the cover without breaking the seal. The corners, seams and spine are perfect.

Treating records

I always treat vinyl records with the greatest care - just because I love them. All the records I sell have been cleaned professionally with the isopropyl alcohol based solution and placed in brand new deluxe German made poly-lined inner sleeves. Original inners are surely preserved. For further packing I use re-sealable outer sleeves, custom German made LP mailers with cardboard stiffeners and I add extra protection for corners for heavy parcels.

Shipping

Shipping cost is the same for any destination in the world.

I may be able it ship it at $12 (parcel rate under 500 gr weight) but I strongly recommend additional packing  protection for this museum-condition copy, that would increase the total weight obviously and postage cost becomes $18. It's up to the buyer's decision. 

I ship worldwide by Registered Air Mail and obtain an internationally valid tracking number. If the postal service of your country allows tracing of incoming overseas parcel you'll be able to use the tracking number. I'm happy to offer combined shipping for multiple purchases, this allows to save quite a lot on postage. Feel free to contact me if you need to know shipping price for several items.

Payment

A VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION - PLEASE READ!!!!!

POSTAL SERVICES WORLDWIDE ARE ALREADY WORKING VERY SLOWLY AS CHRISTMAS TIME IS NEAR. DELIVERY BY REGISTERED AIR MAIL TAKES FROM 2 TO 4 WEEKS! MAY BE EVEN LONGER TO THE AMERICAN CONTINENT, AUSTRALIA AND JAPAN.
