Description
NOTE: I will be out of the country from December 1-6, and will have limited or no internet access during that time. Items with payments made by November 29 will be posted November 30. Items paid for on November 30 or while I am away will be posted December 7.
This item is a vinyl LP pressing of the classic Queen album entitled A Night At The Opera, released by Asylum Records. This title was originally released back in 1975. To many fans of the band, this album marks the high water mark of their studio output. It is very, very hard to argue against the proposition. From the opening piano of Death On Two Legs to the final chords of God Saves the Queen, the album is just unbelievable – not a single weak track. The obvious explanation is the presence of Bohemian Rhapsody, one of the most innovative and revered tracks in rock and roll history with the incredible vocal talents of Freddie Mercury. But Roger Taylor’s I’m In Love With My Car, John Deacon’s You’re My Best Friend and the two sides of Brian May on ’39 and Good Company (acoustic) and Sweet Lady and The Prophet’s Song (electric) are the best parts of this album, to my way of thinking. This pressing has the embossed gatefold cover and the butterfly record labels, and NO barcode.
Both the vinyl and the cover are in excellent to near-mint condition, as shown in the photo.
NOTE: Sealed items are collectible because they are sealed. Since I do not own a store, I cannot return items to the manufacturer. Once opened, I cannot refund the purchase price in full because opening significantly affects its value.
I do not use stock photos. The photo shows the actual item up for auction.
NOTE: Due to the present rules under Paypal, I can now ship internationally ONLY VIA PRIORITY MAIL. If you are outside the US, Priority International is the standard shipping, due to the fact that under Paypal rules, delivery tracking must be included on EVERY package outside the US. The cost depends upon the weight and the country of destination. I will provide the cost for each option in my post-auction invoice (and, again, I can provide the info during the auction, if you e-mail me your zip code and the number of records). To Canada, it will be $21.50USD for one LP. To most other countries, it will be about $29.50USD for one LP. I recognize that this will result in much higher shipping costs and I apologize for this change, but it is necessary under the Paypal rules now in effect. If you have any questions about this policy, please send me an e-mail via My eBay. If you do not accept this shipping requirement, please do not bid.
I am not a dealer, and all of the items I place up for auction are from my personal collection gathered over the past forty years (education expenses – and soon-to-be college expenses -- are the reason I am selling my collection...).
The shipping costs are as follows: $4.00 for one LP via media mail to anywhere in the U.S. Each additional LP is an additional $0.40 for media mail shipping. Priority shipping within the U.S. is a function of weight and postal zone, and I will e-mail an invoice indicating the cost of priority (I can also provide this info while the auction is pending, if you e-mail me your zip code and the number of LPs).
Insurance through the USPS is available, and once again my invoice will provide the cost information.
NOTE – there is no tracking of packages through the USPS without delivery confirmation. If you would like tracking ability, you must purchase delivery confirmation for $0.75.
International Buyers – Please Note:
· Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
· Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
· These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.
· We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.
I will always combine items, so that your shipping costs will be more manageable. Payment may be made by paypal. If I do not receive payment for an item within fifteen (15) days of the end of the auction and I do not hear from you in response to e-mails, I will consider the auction results void and relist the item(s) for auction.
Should you have any questions at all about postage or about any item in particular, please do not hesitate to contact me through My Messages in eBay.
