It is a double album with music on three sides and the title etched on the fourth side. It comes in the original box that it was shipped in, from Warner Bros. in Los Angeles. This was the prize in a contest at the best record store in Portland, Oregon. There are two inserts. One insert says "Hello !

About Me :
I started collecting records in 1966. I started selling records in Goldmine in 1985. I now sell records at all Northwest record conventions : Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Eugene, Grants Pass, and Canby. And at Crossroads Music in Portland, Oregon. On Discogs I am 'Fragilerecords'. My records are from a no smoking and no pets home. I am a record collector, not a DJ, so I almost never play my records.
Packaging :
I take great care on every package and I do each one personally. I will package this record between two pieces of hand cut cardboard. There will be my packaging all around the box used by Warner Bros. Records. Each piece is 1/2 inch thick, triple strength industrial cardboard. Together they are very strong and unbendable. I always remove the record from the cover and seal them in a clear plastic sleeve. The package will be marked in red : "Fragile Record" on both sides.
Postage : Weight : 2 pounds 4 ounces
You have to pay for the postage. I pre-weigh every package, so that you pay the exact amount the post office charges. There are NO handling charges. This record will weigh 36 ounces when ready to ship. US winners can choose between Media mail or Priority mail. I will print postage through Paypal and you will get an automatic email with the tracking number. Overseas winners will get shipping by First Class Mail International. I will print postage through Paypal and you will get an automatic email with the customs/tracking number. I will send your record as soon as you pay ( same day if before 2 PM and next day if after 2 PM : Monday thru Saturday).
COMBINED SHIPPING :
I will combine shipping if you win more than one record. If you do win more than one record, please wait for me to send you an invoice for all of your records in one package.

Serious bidders only. If you bid, you must honor your bid. I expect payment within three days. I no longer accept bids from buyers with more than two strikes against them. I do not hold records to fill a box.
