SECURE, TOP LP Packing and Materials - 40+ years experience.
A few select Rare, Collectible Vintage 1960s-1970s PSYCH and related CLASSIC ROCK VINYL LPs up now as Buy It Now listings -- as a prelude to a massive, soon upcoming AUCTION series of Prime vintage Psych and related 60's/70's Rock that will take me until early September to have ready to drop. I will list as many as are ready at that time; may be as few as 60, possibly over 100 in that first phase Auction series... will include many rare, obscure and highly sought PSYCH LPs along with several more prime LPs each from more well known artists (Hendrix, Doors, Zappa, Beefheart, Beatles, Stones, Grateful Dead, Blue Cheer, Bloomfield, Byrds, Dylan, Zombies, Small Faces etc. etc.) You won't want to miss those!
...including several PROMOS, STERLING Masters, Monarch Pressings and IMPORTS
Needing to list these few BINS here first, to ensure I will have enough top packaging on-hand up-front, for best, quickest ship-out to everybody when those auctions end.
from 50+ years collection estate of decades-long Radio DJ, Record Store associate and dedicated Vinyl Collector
So be sure to check back to my mm_rockpile listings to be able to get in on the auctions!Diligent collectors will be rewarded! ...SO many cool goodies finally being let go of, as I trim down this huge, merged collection to my few single-copy-each faves. (I'm 72 now ... no reason for me to still hold on to any more than 1 copy of each LP. )

3LP BOX SET
CBS Records LP3/S-31
Original 1973 issue Stereo 3LP set
MADE in MEXICO • First Pressing OUT OF PRINT 27 TRACKS
VINYL is NM / EX+
Extremely clean Full Gloss Vinyl is NEAR MINT, Like New, on 3 of the six sides, while 2 Sides are EX+ with very fewest faint sleeve marks, and 1 side is EX with a very small, non-feelable cosmetic surface scuff that is 100% inaudible. LP set plays superb through all 6 sides. All 6 labels are bright, clean and unfaded.
.
COVER is VG+
Sturdy, solid and crisp outer box is bright and clean inside and out. Solid edges with no wear (1 small 1/2" split at center of top seam only). Sharp corners all around with no corner splits. Front has one tiny surface nick at lower left edge only and a very small discoloration spot at top edge. No other marks; no creases, tears, writing or soil. Clean back cover with light surface wear, mostly at edges of back slick. Inside box is near-pristine. Left edge of box has slight angle towards lower portion. Metallic Silver spine titles are sharp, clear, bold and 100% legible.

1973 DELUXE EDITION 3-LP BOX SET - Long Out of Print
Only ever issued on Vinyl in MEXICO - and once later (1974) in Costa Rica.
This Box Set for sale is the original 1st Press MEXICO edition.
Surprisingly EXCELLENT Pressing with great, clear full sound and no pressing flaws. (Many early Mexico record pressings were infamously substandard.) This CBS set has the look, feel & sound of 1970s era UK pressings. Superior Quality Recordings, Mastering and Pressing.
original plain paper inner sleeves now replaced with anti-static, anti-dust, poly inner sleeves.

_______________________________________________________________________
From an utterly vast and deep record collection, from my life-long best friend (Now merged with my own collection) who was a DJ at the Radio Station I co-founded in the 1970's - and who worked for me at my California record store in the '70s and '80s. . Sadly he has now left this mortal coil, bequeathing me his deep Vinyl Mine.
We had very similar tastes - so numerous prime duplicates are being listed.
Many PROMOS, IMPORTS and 1st PRESSINGS are included.
.
Several thousand records (mostly LP's, but also hundreds of 45's), several hundred collectible and Rare, Out of Print CDs and Box Sets, plus posters and other memorabilia will all eventually be listed.
Truly a great (and enormous) collection! _______________________________________________________________________ .
You deserve and will receive FAST SHIPPING and CAREFUL, SECURE PACKING.
My LP packing is considered to be among the very best on eBay! All records packed (with vinyl inside inner sleeve, behind cover for open LPs) with bubble-wrap around all sides - sandwiched between stiff corrugated flats - and shipped in strong LP mailer boxes, for best protection in the mail.
COMBINED SHIPPING DISCOUNT available for items purchased together in same payment.
Simply put each item into the eBay CART, then make one single payment for all chosen items from my listings. ...otherwise eBay checkout cannot see your other combined items.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:
CUSTOMS costs are the responsibility of the Buyer. I NO LONGER risk going to prison for putting false low values or pretending the package is a "gift". Please don't ask me for that. THANKS!
