1978 Japan Audiophile Pressing

Near Mint vinyl  —  Near Mint cover  —  Near Mint Obi

(USA Seller)

Description:

Artist: Beatles

Title: Abbey Road

Label: Apple / Toshiba EMI

Catalog Number: EALF-97001

Country: Japan

Issue: The original 1978 Japan Pro-Use audiophile pressing, with Obi and lyric insert, complete package.

Vinyl Grade: Near Mint.  There are NO spindle marks on either label.  Please see photos, I always show close-ups of the labels at an angle to reveal any spindle marks (or absence of spindle marks) on the labels.  Vinyl shines like new, appears unplayed.  I listened to it once-through, it plays outstanding as expected for a near mint Japan premium vinyl pressing.  No marks on the vinyl.  As close to new as you could get without being sealed, and of course most Japanese LPs were never sealed when new to begin with.

Cover Grade:  Near Mint, there are NO issues with this cover, superb condition ALL around.

Lyric Insert:  Near Mint, four pages, like new!

Obi:  Near Mint, outstanding, no tears or creases, completely intact, there are not even any of the light brown "spots" in the white area, as is common for older Japan LPs.  Amazing condition.

Packaging (open LPs): The album will be removed from the cover to eliminate the possibility of seam-splits.  The LP and cover are placed in a clear outer protective sleeve, and sealed.  The (now sealed) album is then sandwiched between two large cardboard stiffener pads, carefully centered and taped together.  This keeps the LP stationary and the album cover centered, allowing the oversized cardboard reinforcement pads to protect the edges and corners of the cover from dings. 

Tracking: You should automatically receive your Tracking Number by email when the Shipping Label is printed.

eBay History of Record LP sales: 14 years on eBay.  Please do check my Seller feedback comments with regard to accurate LP grading, safe packaging and quick shipping.

Feedback: If there is any problem with your package, please contact me so that I have the opportunity to resolve the issue before leaving feedback.  My goal is to have happy customers and repeat business.  

Payment:  per eBay’s new policy, please make payment via PayPal within 2 days.

Shipping and Handling Time: Packages normally ship the day after payment (excluding weekends and holidays) with email notification and Tracking number.

No Return Policy:  This collectible LP is long out of print, not replaceable, and fragile by nature.  I have packaged many hundreds of valuable record LPs over the years, but most people have not, and it's not an easy thing to do properly.  When I have accepted returns in the past, both times (yes, I've had two albums returned in the last 14 years) they arrived with damage to the cover.  I realize it's not intentional, but it happens.  One trip through the postal system is enough, so this album is offered with eBay's 'No Return' policy in effect for this listing.  As always, if there is a problem with the album itself (e.g., item is somehow not as described), just let me know, I am a reasonable person and eBay's money back guarantee is still in effect.  Of course if the album is damaged during transit please let me know immediately and SAVE the packaging because it is needed for the Insurance claim.  We will get the Insurance claim filed right away and process your refund as quickly as possible.  Please check my feedback, you will see that I only offer top quality record albums and my customers are happy!
