****PLEASE NOTE -----------------------------------

PLEASE DO NOT PAY THROUGH PAYPAL BEFORE YOU RECEIVE YOUR INVOICE SHORTLY AFTER THE END OF THE AUCTION 

I must send you the invoice first with the correct amount for shipping -------------The $4.00 shipping rate quoted in the auction is the maximum allowable on ebay for one record. These auctions are all for more than 1 record.  The actual shipping cost is quoted below, after the item description, under   SHIPPING INFORMATION . (Under ebay policy, because I live in Canada,  I cannot use"calculated shipping" based on weight).

I am a Canadian vendor but I live a few minutes from the border and I mail all packages (except those bound for Canada) from the USA, in order to take advantage of the low media rate and low overseas mailing costs --- for my customers.

What we are selling

This a series of Lots: Multiple records by the same group or artist. In my experience many of the listings will sell for opening bid or close to it. That is OK by us. It is a clearance sale. Instant record collections from your favorite bands. The auctions are in two groups one ending a few minutes after the other. The first group is for Classic rock, listed alphabetically from Abba to ZZ top. The second is for 1980s rock, New Wave and Alternative, from A-Ha to U2 and Ultravox

Shipping Costs for USA Bound packages 

For American bidders shipping costs are nominal. You folks have the luxury of Media Rate shipping which is incredibly cheap. Most packages will be just a few dollars for shipping. Examples: $4 (1-3 records),  $5.50 (4-8 records), $6.50 (10-12 Records), $8.50 (20 records), $13.00 (40 records) and so on. These are ACTUAL costs for media rate and include .75 for tracking numbers. I do not attempt to make extra money by charging higher than actual costs for shipping.

See SHIPPING INFORMATION, below the item description, for shipping costs for Canada bound, Non Continental USA inc Alaska bound, plus Mexico and Overseas

Condition

The albums for all of the auctions, including this one, have been carefully chosen and examined. Overall, more than 90% of the vinyl is near mint in these auctions. Like New. Around 70% of the covers are as well. Virtually no covers have more than tiny imperfections such as a wisp of ring wear at the top. These wisps / or anything a little greater will be mentioned at the bottom of each listing before the detailed shipping information The Photographs should tell most of the story.

Photographs are of the actual items, not stock photos

Please Note

This auction tool forces me to quote condition as if it was only one item so I have selected Excellent for all of them even though there are some variances within each auction. It also forces me to quote duration and playing speed so I have selected LP length and 33 1/3 even though, again, there are variances within some auctions

The Who 11 Records inc Tommy Whos Next & Quadrophenia

• The lot includes all the Who's studio albums beginning with Tommy up to Its Hard the last before the recent Endless Wire

• PLUS 3 compilations Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy (1971), Odds & Sods (1974) & Hooligans (1981)

• PLUS Live at Leeds. Most lists name this as the greatest live album ever recorded (1981).

• Live at Leeds along with Tommy, Who's Next and Quadrophenia are at the core of their reputation as one of the greatest ever rock bands. Few groups or artists have released 4 albums in a row of this quality and importance. Essential to any collection of rock music

• Tommy, Quadrophenia and Hooligans are all double albums

• Face Dances contains a large poster the size of 4 album covers

• A word about the compilations ---they all contain songs which were not available on LP, of astonishingly high quality---

  I Can't Explain, Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere, Magic Bus, Subsitute and I'm a boy Happy Jack. I Can See For Miles, Pictures of Lily, The Seeker from Meaty Beaty were all singles which, like other sixties bands such as the Beatles, the group didn't repeat on their studio albums

  Similarly Hooligans has: Lets See Action, Relay and Join Together

  SO.....what I am saying is that the studio albums are not enough for this band..you've got to get some of these as well or miss out on some of their best work

• Odds and Sods is a collection of songs written and recorded during the group's prime period that again were not put out onto studio albums. They were left “In the Can” so to speak until the release of this LP. “Pure and Easy” was one of the best songs written for the project that was to become Who's Next. It was left of the album because Townsend wanted a single album to come out rather than the double that had originally been planned. Little Billy is a beautiful Beach Boys inspired pop song written for an anti smoking TV commercial. Naked Eye and long Live Rock are two classic Who songs, that for what ever reason the Who just didn't release until Odds and Sods. Again essential stuff
