$

29

This is a rare very clean original white label promo stereo pressing of the self titled first album by country rock, singer songwriter, John Prine, released by Atlantic Records in 1971. The issued lyric sheet is also included.

The LP visually is in near mint condition and plays very nicely. The cover is in very good condition. Three of the corners are reasonably square with light tip wear, whereas mouth corner has more wear and crimp. The seams are strong with no splits with minor rub wear, except for top seam near spine which has about 1.5 inches of wear resulting in top paper layer having worn off. The spine is strong with some light rub wear. The front cover is clean. There is some edge wear at mouth towards top of front cover. There is some raising of slick at top front cover near mouth that appears to have been the result of misapplication of the slick to the cover as there is no evidence of having been caused by moisture. The back cover is fairly clean with light wear including crease near upper mouth. There are also ink check marks next to several listed songs. In grading I use Excellent instead of VG++ for those items deemed just a notch below near mint. Please understand that opened play graded copies may have been graded several weeks before listing so the LP should be cleaned again before play. LPs are cleaned manually as I no longer have machine.

The LP will be shipped within 24 hours of payment, which is expected within 3 days of auction end, in specially made LP mailer with the LP separated from the cover (for unsealed items) and well packaged to protect the item from damage during shipment. Returns are accepted as long as LP is returned in the condition received. Return of sealed items will only be permitted if returned unopened.

Shipping cost is $4 per LP. To reduce shipping cost, I will combine shipping on multiple items bid and won during the same auction cycle. Please do not pay until I have had the opportunity to manually adjust the shipping cost. I cannot hold items for multiple auction cycles as it will affect my EBAY standing in so far as it concerns shipment time. I only accept bids from US based buyers and will only ship to the address recorded for the buyer on PAYPAL, which is the only method I can accept for payment.

Please keep in mind that I am a person looking to sell their collection and not a store or commercial seller. I play grade open items sold and do the best I can in the process to give an honest assessment of the item As is shown by my feedback I think I do a good job of satisfying most buyers. I leave feedback for all buyers and if you are satisfied with the transaction I would greatly appreciate positive feedback from the buyer as well. It does not take very long and is important to me as a seller. If for any reason you cannot leave positive feedback or are not satisfied, please have the courtesy of contacting me before leaving negative or neutral feedback, or initiating any action via eBay. In almost all cases the issue can be worked out to the buyers satisfaction even if it means returning the item. If the item is not as described I will bear all shipping costs including return shipping. If a buyer behaves in a rude or unreasonable manner, and/ or fails to contact me to address issues they have with an item before negative or neutral feedback is left, I will block that buyer from further auction participation. I also reserve the right to block any buyer that leaves negative or neutral feedback when I have done everything possible to put the buyer in the same position as if the transaction had not taken place.

I am auctioning almost 5000 records of my own collection, including rock. soul, blues and jazz, that are very clean and, included are some very rare items that rarely are available for purchase
