Description
This is a clean original mono pressing of The Beach Boys, Pet Sounds, released in 1967 by Capitol Records. This masterpiece recording by Brian Wilson is considered by many to have been the greatest popular album ever recorded. At Brian Wilson's insistence only mono masters were created of this album, all so called stereo copies being inferior re channeled fake stereo. This makes mono pressings of this LP all the more in demand and very difficult to find.
The LP visually is on the high end of very good to very good plus condition showing a few barely visible marks and scuffs that cannot be felt. On the whole the LP plays very nicely with some very light and very occasional crackle mostly heard briefly in dead areas although some was barely noticeable in short instances beneath the music on few cuts. Overall it is still a very nice copy of album that is extremely difficult to find in any playable condition. The cover is in very good condition. All corners are relatively sharp with only slight tip wear. The spine and seams are strong with slight rub and color age wear but no splits. The front and back of the cover are very clean with some yellowing from age and the title Pet Sounds has writing within the border. In grading I use Excellent instead of VG++ for those items deemed just a notch below near mint.
Please understand that opened play graded copies may have been graded several weeks before listing and may be available for sale for some time, so the LP must be cleaned again before play. LP's are cleaned manually as I no longer have machine, so matter may have settled in the grooves in the interim. Please do not claim LP is not as described if you play the LP without first cleaning the LP.
The LP will be shipped within 24 hours of payment, which is expected within 3 days of auction end, in specially made LP mailer with the LP separated from the cover (for unsealed items) and well packaged to protect the item from damage during shipment. Returns are accepted as long as LP is returned in the condition received. Sealed items will only be permitted if returned unopened.
Shipping cost is $4 per LP. To reduce shipping cost, I will combine shipping on multiple items bid and won during the same auction cycle. Please do not pay until I have had the opportunity to manually adjust the shipping cost. I cannot hold items for multiple auction cycles as it will affect my EBAY standing in so far as it concerns shipment time. I only accept bids from US based buyers and will only ship to the address recorded for the buyer on PAYPAL, which is the only method I can accept for payment.
Please keep in mind that I am a person looking to sell their collection and not a store or commercial seller. I play grade open items sold and do the best I can in the process to give an honest assessment of the item As is shown by my feedback I think I do a good job of satisfying most buyers. I leave feedback for all buyers and if you are satisfied with the transaction I would greatly appreciate positive feedback from the buyer as well. If for any reason you cannot leave positive feedback or are not satisfied, please have the courtesy of contacting me before leaving negative or neutral feedback. In almost all cases the issue can be worked out to the buyers satisfaction even if it means returning the item. If the item is not as described I will bear all shipping costs including return shipping. If a buyer behaves in a rude or unreasonable manner, and/ or fails to contact me to address issues they have with an item before negative or neutral feedback is left, I will block that buyer from further auction participation. I also reserve the right to block any buyer that leaves negative or neutral feedback when I have done everything possible to put the buyer in a position as if the transaction had not taken place.
I am auctioning almost 5000 records of my own collection, including rock. soul, blues and jazz, that are very clean and, included are some very rare items that rarely are available
