Description
Aphex Twin – Selected Ambient Works 85-92 2xLP [Original issue, not Remaster] (R&S Records (Belgium), no catalog number)
I purchased this gem back in 2000 or 2001, so it is not the reissue from 2006. There are no catalog numbers printed on the sleeve or etched in the vinyl. It does, however, have a barcode, which the very first pressing of this LP did not have according to discogs. Either way, this is a rare import of a remarkably solid LP from the early ‘90s.
The vinyl looks and sounds great. I probably played it through twice. The sleeve is a thinner cardstock cardboard and arrived through the mail with some slightly bent corners (see pictures), but nothing major. No ring wear or seam splits.
Grading Policies and General Remarks on Vinyl Condition:
I do not own a record store and I don't read Goldmine. I'm not going to try to be an expert on grading. Too often when I buy on eBay, people rate items as "Very Good" that I think are ready for the trash.
I do however take care of my records. Most of them were purchased new from independent stores or distros, and I have stored each in a plastic sleeve to ensure that each record remains in about the same condition. Occasionally, I receive a new record from the label or distro with a small seam split or a bent corner. If that's the case, I'll let you know. If it's used, I'll describe whatever visible flaws I see. If I don't describe a particular item, assume that it is in "like New" condition. Whether or not that makes it M, M-, or NM, doesn't mean much to me.
Shipping:
I charge a modest handling fee (included in shipping quote below) to help cover supplies and time. I always ship in cardboard mailers. Most of the time they’re brand new ones that cost me $2.00 a piece, but occasionally, I reuse a record box that someone shipped a record to me in. As a regular eBayer myself, I know the mystery of whether or not a record will arrive in good condition can be quite frustrating and agonizing. I make sure there is no mystery by telling you how I pack my records up front. I believe that my shipping charges are still about average, and you can rest assured that your record will arrive to you well-packed.
I walk by the post office on a daily basis, so your item will typically be in the mail within 24 hours, but occasionally it will take 48. I ask in turn that you pay promptly. If, after 3 days, I have not received paypal payment or been notified by you, I will start the process of reporting you as a non-paying bidder and relist the item.
Be sure to check out my other items, as I offer a pretty good discount for multiple vinyl records. U.S. bidders will pay the highest shipping cost for the auctions you win plus $1.00 for each additional item (Media Mail; Priority will be calculated at auction’s end). Combined shipping for international bidders will be calculated at the end of all auctions and will be based on total weight.
