THE SOFT MACHINE

- S/T 1st LP

Command Probe

CPLP 4500 Stereo

This is the original pressing, not a re-issue

Vinyl - Very Good ++ / Excellent

what little separates this from Near Mint is only in the way of tiny surface hairline and superficial sleeve scuffs - all of which are difficult to detect without the use of harsh indirect light. The plating retains the gloss and luster of a new pressing. As play graded, this copy earns a Near Mint / NM-. By this measure there is a very moderate degree of surface noise and only evident in a few areas as it weaves through a passage here and there; in other words, not present throughout.

Jacket - Very Good ++   light shelf, edge and ringwear (please see photos for detail). This is the original gatefold with the die-cut 'wheel' design. The wheel and the die cut are completely intact, the seams are solid and the spine is legible.

Things I'd like you to know:

Low starting prices don't = low quality! The minimum grade vinyl I list is VG+ / NM- to NM or M- (Goldmine Reference Standards) Condition of LP and Covers noted in detail.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS – WE WELCOME YOU

Email me (through 'Contact Seller') and I will quote shipping for you. Obviously, I have no way of tracking or confirming delivery to your residence – but I will be happy to provide the Customs ID number.

Friendly Seller:

I'm not paranoid, I don't have a chip on my shoulder, I don't jump to conclusions or have a defensive attitude about buyers ( I still am one ), and I don't breathe down buyers' necks for payment. If you need an invoice – let me know - I'll be happy to prepare one, but other than that – if you want to continue shopping and combine auction wins, please just drop me a quick note. Bottom line – hassle free shopping.

SHIPPING NOTES:

Green Shipping To conserve energy and provide fast shipment, I take purchases to the Post Office at least twice a week – sometimes 3 times. This way you will never have more than a 48 / 84 hour gap between payment and shipping.

All orders packed in LP Shipment grade mailing boxes.  I don't construct my own - these are legit and virtually Post Office proof.  The inside of the mailer is safely reinforced with recycled cardboard and / or Bubble wrap or Poly padding.

SPECIAL NOTE: Until further notice, I have a small number of sturdy mailing boxes that will accommodate 10 -12 LP's – so if you want to save a bundle on shipping and would like to combine several auction wins – please be my guest.

Because I ALWAYS provide delivery confirmation to you FREE of charge, you can track it. Having said that – now and then, USPS Media Mail is going to be slower now because of the cutbacks - so, I will gladly, per your request, provide Priority shipping as an option at a similarly reasonable cost.

If you know you'll want Priority, please kindly alert me before you pay for the item.

I'll combine shipping:

Each additional LP up to 12 total, will be just .50 cents extra.

I'll be listing many more in a diverse range of musical styles in coming weeks, so bookmark a listing and check back in.
