Description
PINK FLOYD "THE FINAL CUT" special banded version for radio PROMO Original Issue: Columbia AS-1636 Stereo LP
- VINYL & WEAR: Looks immaculate and never played; I bought this on April 9, 1983 and rarely played it since. (The album had come out in March, so I likely was its first owner.) About a half-minute in there are two pops during the quiet lead-in.There are a couple of other minor pops but otherwise it sounds exceptional.
- COVER & WEAR: Still glossy and supple; no splits; gatefold. Promotional sticker is attached to front, noting the banded-for-radio version and the inclusion of the uncensored version of "Not Now John". "DEMONSTRATION - NOT FOR SALE" is factory-printed on the cover's reverse at top-right. No stamps or imprints. Very minor wear; small specks on the front cover and more along the edges of the back. Minimal wear on the spine; the title is fully legible.
- INNER SLEEVE: Original dark inner sleeve. CAUTION: very long split along one edge; record will be packed with this edge facing in, so be careful pulling it out. There are smaller splits at the centers of other two edges where record contact is made, the larger is at bottom edge. (Once the business gets going, I'll be buying new inner sleeves and polys for all the albums.)
- LABEL: Label is as original, with "demonstration - not for sale" factory-printed on the label.
INTRO: I've been out of eBay action for awhile and lost my TRS and PS ratings, but am experienced in giving my customers 100% satisfaction (or as close as I can get). Prior to this I'd been selling baseball cards and comics with excellent results. The albums are cleaned with the Hunt E.D.A. Mark 6 Brush, and played on a Pro-ject Audio Systems 1.2 turntable. Rest assured that I'll pack and ship your records with care. I'm unable to accept returns at this point, but will work out any problems with you (and have rarely had any).
GRADING: I'm not a professional grader, but have collected and cared for records since the early '60s when I began collecting. I'm uncomfortable with the vagueness and subjectivity of modern grading terminology, but I'll describe the sound and quality to the best of my ability, playing the record through for pops or skips (time permitting) and then examining the vinyl visually under strong light (always). Likewise the cover's quality and "feel", as well as inner sleeve, label, and other notes. Please refer to the photographs when considering your bid, and if you have any questions or want better photos, please ask and I'll respond quickly.
N.A. SHIPPING: I'll ship US Media Mail by default, but will ship however you wish, as long as you foot the bill. If you want quicker service than Media Mail, research the costs/availability and we can make arrangements before payment. I'll most always ship 1-2 days after cleared funds are received. Also factor in insurance/customs if necessary; the winning bidder is responsible for these.
- USA: $4 for USPS Media Mail w/ Delivery Confirmation; + $2 for each additional album (+$3 for double albums)
- CANADA: $10.99 for USPS 1st Class Mail; +3 for each additional album (+$4 for double albums) Please be aware of insurance and customs fees; full value will be indicated on forms. Shipping method to Canada will require tracking and/or delivery confirmation, as some methods don't allow for this.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: I haven't shipped International before, so it'll be touch-and-go until I sort things out. The address needs to be verifiable so as to allow for tracking/confirmation of delivery. Also, please consider insurance, customs, and other costs before bidding. As above, I'll ship in any (track-able) manner which you prefer, as long as you bear the cost. It may take a day or two longer to arrange than the US shipping, but hopefully not. For now, I'll go with USPS First Class Mail, which is estimated at $18.99, + $5 for each additional album or + $8 for double albums.
Please note: these prices aren't etched in stone, and I'll be adjusting them as I see how these methods work. I have no interest in charging any fees other than the actual shipping, so will try to adjust them downwards as time goes on :-) It's been hard to find a standard lowest-rate, but I'm still looking (and will welcome any advice!).
OUTRO: Over the next few weeks (and hopefully beyond!) I'll be putting up much of my record collection of LPs and 45s, which includes many rarities, promos and promotional items. I plan on eventually expanding into miscellany such as tour programs and magazines, so please stay tuned!
Thank you for looking and (considering) bidding on this item, and good luck!
