John Lennon - UK Silver Signature 8 LP Box (EMI, JLB8, summer 1981)
Here is a nice, clean, complete copy of the box set put out by EMI during the summer of 1981. The box contains John Lennon's 8 EMI solo music albums (Live Peace In Toronto, Plastic Ono Band, Imagine, Sometime In New York City (2LP), Mind Games, Walls and Bridges, Rock-n-Roll, and Shaved Fish) for a total of 9 discs. The box is in very nice shape, with surprisingly little shelf wear. There is a minor manufacturing blemish on the font of the box to the left of the top of John Lennon's head. It's like a small 1/8" round circle. Some of the corners and edges have extremely minor wear... nothing you can't see in the photos. The LPs have never been played and barely been handled. They all appear mint except the first one, "Live Peace In Toronto," which has some minor white rubbing along the open edge (it came that way) and one of the sides has become partially unglued. This could EASILY be repaired. I am opting to handle the inner LPs as little as humanly possible, so I'll leave that repair to you.  The box also includes the booklet "The Liverpool Echo's Tribute to John Lennon" which is in Ex condition. This booklet was clearly posthumous  as it features photos of the crowds outside The Dakota during December 1980.  If you don't have this box in your collection, I'm confident that you will be more than pleased with this particular copy. One owner. Pet and smoke free home.
SHIPPING: This box is particularly heavy (4.2 lbs on its own / 5.33 lbs when packaged for shipping). Media Mail in the continental US is going to be $6.00. Other destinations will have to be calculated/negotiated.

GENERAL: We offer combined shipping on multiple wins/purchases but ONLY if you wait for us to issue an adjusted invoice before making payment. Buyer pays actual shipping rounded up to 50cents. Payments by PAYPAL. We list the more valuable items so that they end first. This way you can add lesser-valued filler items with little to no extra shipping. We will be listing hundreds of mint and excellent condition Beatles items (as well as other artists) over the next several months.  Our opening bids are always under market value and often the lowest on Ebay. Favorite us as a seller and check back every Sunday afternoon for new listings.

FEEDBACK:  Your satisfaction as a buyer means a lot to us and everything we sell is guaranteed, but PLEASE, if you have any questions that could avoid a future misunderstanding, ask it in advance of bidding. Your purchases will be professionally packed for shipping. It’s very soul-crushing to hold on to a mint condition record for 40+ years only to have the post office destroy its value in one careless instant.  That’s why we pack really, really well. After we’ve concluded business I promise to leave positive feedback and ask that you (assuming you’re happy with service and product) do too.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: We stopped using the Ebay Global Shipping Program because it’s so expensive (to the buyer).  If you live outside the United States and win one or more items, please be patient while we determine and agree on the exact shipping method and costs to your particular corner of the world. For international shipping, we will provide proof of shipping, but if your country’s postal system loses or destroys the item, we are going to consider that out of our hands.
