Description
Here's the Beatles, Please Please Me, Odeon OP-7548, Japanese audiophile pressing in stereo with obi. The thin cardboard cover is intact, no splits, but shows some general wear and has a few creases. There are 6 pages inside the gatefold, one is not attached and one seems to be missing. Other than a bit of fade, the obi is excellent. The vinyl is VG, plays through with some crackle in the dead vinyl and occasionally in the music. There are numerous surface marks, but these red vinyl pressings are pretty much indestructable. They always play better than they look. Anyway, this one is budget priced due to the condition, but it's still a rock artifact worth having, and the music is still enjoyable. I am also including a near mint copy of The Early Beatles, US press Capitol ST 2309, with most of the same songs. This way you can hear the music without the crackle but still be able to display the red vinyl copy.
The Rules- Buyer pays actual shipping. No hidden charges. Sellers who charge 4-6 dollars for Media mail are a pet peeve of mine.
Use the shipping calculator to figure your costs. Paypal preferred.
The Rant: I'm tired of receiving lps graded MINT that have scratches and scuffs. Also the ones that are so dirty the seller can't see the scratches and scuffs. I'm also dizzy from trying to decipher mint minus from EX+, VG+ from EX, etc, with no description of what caused that rating.
The commitment: I'll describe the item as much as I need to to give a clear picture of the condition. If there are flaws, I'll describe them. If there are ANY marks OF ANY KIND on the vinyl I'll play through them to make sure they do not affect the listening experience. If they do, the listing will say so. Grading is an arbitrary thing, so I'll assign a grade, and you can use the description to cross check. Please e:mail any questions prior to the close of the auction. I will guarantee your money back, plus your postage, if the description of the item is inaccurate.
The Request: If for any reason you are unhappy with what you receive, talk to me and let's try to work it out before starting the feedback wars. I'll be reasonable and respectful, unlike some of the dealers I've tried to talk to about their ratings.
Thanks for looking, and good luck!
