Postal Service Give Up 3LP 10th Anniversary RTI Press Mint Jenny Lewis Benjamin Gibbard Vinyl is high gloss, no scuffs, scratches, spindle marks, little to no evidence of play. Jacket is perfect as is 8 page booklet. Please read the Discogs reviews from other owners below regarding the quality (of both recording & the package). This is a work of art; an example of what LP packaging can be. More like coffee table art rather than an album jacket. I included the edge shots just to show the thickness of the package.

Owner Comments from Discogs:

lumpiestpoon3 Aug 12, 2021 What an amazing set of records. The depth and clarity on "Such Great Heights" is jaw dropping. Some minor noise at the beginning of side A but I think it's low enough to add to the overall aesthetic of "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight." bemerick Jul 12, 2021 This is probably the most perfect vinyl I own so far. When i drop the needle I hear a noise but after that it's just crystal clear. Wow. SO clear. witsaboutyou Apr 30, 2021 Ordered this from Tower Records for a great price ($30.00) and it came in okay shape -- The quality of the packaging is amazing. It feels like a hardcover book -very thick cardboard and there is a nice binding. You can turn 3 heavy pages and there's beautiful artwork from their EPs -- in the middle page is a gorgeous 12x12 booklet with lyrics and really cool photographs. I have played side A and side B and the pressing is excellent. You can hear nuances that I never heard on the CD back in the day. There wasn't a single bit of surface noise and I the dynamics are super. Ben's voice is clear. The mastering is amazing.

Overall I'd give this a solid 9/10. Crazy to think in a few years this will be TWENTY years old.
Curricanero_Discogs Sep 13, 2019 Beautiful packaging and amazing pressing. The most silent vinyls I own (x3!!!)
sambio19 Aug 9, 2019 Both one of the best sounding and most beautifully packaged albums I own. They just did a fantastic job.
steve_w007 Nov 16, 2018 SubPop does some impressive packaging. This one is absolutely fabulous!
d.teil Jun 4, 2018The packaging is just magnificent..... .
yongary1 Feb 17, 2018 Superb album,beautiful music,solid pressind and a great packaging,love this one
JackThomas311 Feb 17, 2015 Forever one of my most favorite albums of all time. This pressing certainly does the record justice bringing in the rarities from all of the other releases in one place, all with wonderful clarity and sound. Would have loved to have gotten my hands on the "LOSER" edition from Sub-Pop, but either way this sounds wonderful. Pave999 May 17, 2014 There was no download card with mine. Bought from Amazon.com. But the vinyl sounds great.





I generally end auctions between 7-8PM. Any invoice paid that evening is guaranteed to ship the following morning. I do not drop it in a box, I wait to see a clerk to insure tracking is activated. Please understand the Post Office is not what it was, there are times tracking is not faithfully updated, especially with Media Mail. If it doesn't get to you in a timely fashion, it's not because I'm sitting on it. If you would rather use Fedex, send me a note, and I will quote the price to you. I only charge what the Ebay table says, no additional charge for shipping/packing. As far as shipping, it costs me $1.75 for a box, $4 for 2 Lb Media Mail package, and if your weren't aware, with the new Ebay managed payments, they now charge their commission rate on the price + shipping, and, get this - your State sales tax! Yes, they charge me for their right to collect your State sale tax. Windup is the minimum cost for me to put an album out the door is $6. I have a ton of records I could sell for under $10, it's just not worth the time & effort.

All my listings have a no quibble satisfaction guarantee - if you are not 100% satisfied, contact me & we'll make it right. I mean that. I do not accept unsatisfied customers. If you're unhappy with the shipping, unhappy with the record, send me a note - I'm very good at responding quickly.


Bulk shipping: Additional vinyl past first - $1. My listings are set to calculate that automatically, but sometimes Ebay doesn't pick up on that. Not a problem - send me a note, I will promptly send out a proper invoice.
