Otis Redding - The Otis Redding Story
(Atlantic 781 762-1 (4 x LP) Box Set 1987)
This is an original 4 LP Box Set pressing from 1987. Manufactured in Germany for the UK market. This Box Set compiles all the essential tracks from Otis Redding's brief career across 4 LP's. Therefore, it is an excellent way to acquire the majority of his catalogue at one time.
This Box Set has a hard card outer box which is hinged at the spine. This Box Set comes complete with its extensive Information/ Picture Booklet. All 4 LP's come with their original polythene lined generic company plain paper inner sleeve. The records has green & orange "Atlantic" labels & 1st press matrix numbers.
Box: There is a small 1.5 cm seam split at the two bottom corner tip seams on the front part of the box set only (see photo). This has caused some mild rubbing wear in that area too. There is some light, mild or very mild rubbing wear to the corner tips on some areas. There is some light, very mild or very minor hairline rubbing wear on the front & back spine edges on a few areas. This doesn't notice that much. Overall, Very Good++ condition.
The Booklet is in Near Excellent condition. It is totally complete with no loose pages. The staples have not rusted. There are some light pin-prick sized dots next the track titles on the back page. Some of these appear to be in biro, some of these appear to be in pencil. They do not notice that much. There are some light, very mild or very minor handling creases on some pages.
Vinyl 1: Looks to be near unplayed! There are a very few light, very mild or very minor sleeve rubs which can barely be seen under a strong light. EXCELLENT+ condition. The labels are in Excellent+ condition and show minimal spindle wear only. The polythene-lined company inner sleeve is in Very Good++ condition. It shows light, mild or very mild ringwear & creasing. It has no seam splits.
I have play tested this LP in its entirety & it plays Excellent to Excellent+ overall, & Near Perfect in many places. A superb audio copy!

The polythene-lined company inner sleeve is in Very Good+ condition. It shows light, mild or very mild ringwear & creasing. It has no seam splits.

Traceable insurance is already included in the stated P&P price for this listing.
Discount is given on P&P for multiple purchases. I shall always weigh combined purchases to get a completely accurate price. So please wait for the invoice to be sent before paying. Please see below for a more detailed description.
MINT Condition = This is as perfect a copy as you are likely to find. The cover will show no, or next to no, wear. The vinyl will be unplayed or very, very near unplayed.
NEAR MINT Condition = Nearly mint, just slightly under. There maybe some minor paper/ inner sleeve rubs that can barely be seen under strong light. This disc has been played only a few times & has been extremely well cared for. The cover is nearly perfect - Very minimal wear only.
EXCELLENT Condition = An excellent copy will show only mild, or minor, signs of use. There will be light, or very mild, sleeve rubs that can hardly be seen under strong light. There may be a very small & minor hairline mark in some instances. Play, in most cases, will be excellent or better. There may be some light, or very light, crackle in a few quieter places. The sleeve will show mild, or minor, rubbing wear & ringwear only.
NEAR EXCELLENT Condition = This has been played a few more times but it has been well cared for. There will be mild sleeve rubs which can be seen under a strong light. There may be a couple of minor, or light, hairline marks. Playback will be generally excellent or better. There may be some light, mild or very mild crackle in some quieter places. The cover will show mild rubbing wear, ringwear or creasing
Very Good Condition = Most records that have been quite well played, but reasonably well cared for, tend to fit into this category. This is probably the most varied of the gradings so I have elaborated below.
There may be mild to more moderate sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. There may be a few light hairline marks but nothing too bad. A quite well played but serviceable copy. Playback will be very agreeable overall. There will be light, mild or very mild crackle in some places. There may also be a few light clicks. A more thorough description will always be on the listing. The record will certainly not be trashed!
The cover will show more noticeable signs of storage or use. There will be mild to more moderate rubbing wear on some edges There could be fading, ringwear or a minor seam split. There could be some mild creasing or mild sticker tears.
Please note that I also use "+" or "-" symbols for this grading. A plus symbol is obviously at the top end of "Very Good" & is really not too far from being in "Near Excellent" condition. The minus symbol obviously means it is at the lower end. This will mean that it is near to being in "Good+" condition.
>> Postage Rates
AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT TO YOU VERY SOON AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS. PLEASE WAIT FOR THIS BEFORE PAYING.
(Please note that these prices include packaging costs too)
Double LPs are classed as two LPs. Also gatefold sleeves, posters, inserts, etc.. can increase postage costs.
Please note that there are now VAT import charges from the UK into all EU countries. Anything under 150 Euros will need an IOSS number. VAT is paid at point of sale. For any items over 150 Euros in value. There will be a customs charge too. These vary, I believe, from country to country. Please check your relevant postal service online for details. Please note that these charges are beyond my control and are the law for outside parcels going into the EU.
All records will be sent in high quality vinyl box/ mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7" Single. I use a cruciform box for larger orders (3-6 LPs). All parcels will be marked "Fragile" and dispatch time will generally be between 1-3 days after payment.
I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve & place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve; I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve & place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP(s).
I consider my postage & packaging costs to be very transparent & very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between £0.80 to £1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...
If you are uncertain about any of the above, or just simply want some information regarding any item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome any questions.
Remember to check out My Other Items Lots of rare & quality vinyl! Most are UK 1st Pressings. It is quite likely that there will be more records by this artist, or records in a similar vein.
