Joni Mitchell COURT AND SPARK - Classic Records 200gm 4LP 45RPM Clarity Vinyl Single-Sided TEST PRESSING - SEALED & MINT! The ultimate vinyl pressing of one of Ms. Mitchell's all-time greatest records, as close as you'll ever get to hearing the master tape. This is #24 of only 45 of these test pressings ever made! 
I've been a Joni fan since the mid-70's, morphing into a Joni fanatic since the 90's (around the time DCC issued its terrific gold CDs of Blue and Court and Spark, and their even better edition of Court and Spark on 180gm LP).  I purchased two copies of this test pressing here on Ebay in 2016 during a LONG period when Classic was selling off it's inventory after shutting down its operations. One of those is my "listening" reference copy, and this is the backup. My database says I currently own eight different pressings of Court and Spark, but that doesn't include the half dozen or more other versions that have come and gone over the years. Trust me: you will not hear a better version of this record. 
Now's your chance to get this Classic Records rarity at a fair market price!

ABOUT SHIPPING AND HANDLING: Please note there is a $5 fee included in Ebay's estimate of Media Mail shipping costs. I believe the best way to ship an LP includes a 13"x14"x3" "pizza" style box, 12"x12" cardboard flats, outer shopping bag, and bubble wrap. The shipping boxes alone cost me over $3 each, and the average total cost of shipping materials is around $4.72, so this is NOT a money-maker for me. However, it does ensure, consistently, that these high value LPs arrive safely. Please check my feedback and I think you'll see that buyers appreciate the care with which these precious artifacts are handled.

COMBINED SHIPPING: I am more than happy to combine shipping. Ebay buyers pay the actual postage costs. If a single LP is purchased, the buyer pays actual postage and $5 for shipping materials. If two LPs are purchased, the buyer pays actual postage and $5 for shipping materials. If three or more LPs are purchased, the buyer pays actual postage and $0 for shipping materials (I will absorb the cost of materials). As the final amount can only be calculated after auctions have ended, I will issue the appropriate refund on the day the LPs are shipped. 

About Me: I'm a long time Ebay buyer intent on selling a significant portion of my LP collection over the next year or two (or three!). I believe in the auction process, so I'm NOT going to list records at absurdly high prices, and I look forward to getting rare, out of print records into the hands of music lovers, record collectors and audiophiles (I consider myself all of the above). All LPS stored in a smoke-free, climate controlled environment. 

Please check my feedback and BID WITH CONFIDENCE. Also, please take a look at other items I'm listing (new items will be listed on Sunday and Wednesday nights), and good luck! 

PayPal Payments Only. Payment required within 3 days after the end of auction. All records will ship USPS Media Mail.
