Description
Welcome to my vinyl auctions.
Over a period of several years I am slowly listing a remarkable record collection for auction on ebay. This collection belonged to my friend Brian, one of the most discerning record collectors I have ever known. Brian started buying records in 1966 when he was a teenager. His infatuation for vinyl developed into a career and he eventually ended up working for RCA records and CBS/Sony records as a disc mastering engineer from 1977 to 1989. Brian’s not with us anymore, and I’m making good on my promise to him to sell his records in lovingly-prepared auctions which reflect the love he had for his vast collection. The proceeds go to his family.
Brian’s collection is the kind that rarely comes up for sale. He had great taste in music and collected vinyl seriously for 40 years, taking superb care of his collection. To see all of Brian’s records that I currently have listed, click here.
I grade records conservatively to ensure your satisfaction as the buyer. All LPs will be shipped promptly in reinforced record-mailing boxes. Because of the size of this collection, I will be listing these records in sections, so you might want to bookmark my listings page and keep checking back. Also, if you want to be notified when a new block of records is listed, drop me a line with your email.
Artist: The Beatles
Title: Let It Be
Country of Issue: U.S.A.
Year of Issue: 1970
Catalogue Number: AR-34001
Matrix side one: JS-17,500-12
Matrix side two: JS-17,501-22 "Phil & Ronnie" is inscribed in both run-out grooves.
Condition of sleeve: VG+ with most of the wear to the edges. There are one inch seam splits at the top and bottom of the opening edge and a faint arc of ringer on the back cover.
Condition of record: Visually NM with just a few very light marks and no spindle wear. Plays beautifully with very light surface noise which is inaudible during the songs.
Further Notes: The lacquer was cut by Sam Feldman at Bell Sound and the record was pressed at Capitol Records pressing plant in Winchester. Maggie May is credited it "P.D." - no mention of "arr. Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, Starkey", which makes this definitively a first pressing.
I only accept paypal. If you wish to pay by any other means, please contact me prior to bidding.
IMPORTANT SHIPPING NOTE:
Ebay does not let me specify a greater shipping amount than $4 for US shipping in the listing, but I am in Canada and shipping a record to you in the US costs $10, not $4, so kindly disregard the listed shipping price and follow the shipping charges below. I will send you an invoice with the correct shipping amount shortly after the end of the auction. If you jump the gun and submit a payment with just $4 shipping I will send you a paypal invoice to cover the remaining $6, so it's better to wait for my invoice.
By bidding on my auction you are acknowledging that you have read and understood my shipping terms.
