THE BEATLES-ABBEY ROAD-1980 NEAR MINT MFSL ROCK LP

$

32

This is a near mint pressing of the MFSL issue of The Beatles, Abbey Road, issued in 1980 by MFSL. This LP is pressed at half speed in Japan by JVC (Japan Victor Company) on virgin vinyl. (Vinyl is translucent with light passing through). 

As to grading I grade very conservatively following Goldmine Record grading standard. Except that for records that are a notch below near mint, rather than VG++, I prefer use of grade of Excellent. I do not use VG++ grade in addition to Excellent grade as is done by some.

The LP itself is in beautiful near mint condition with no visible marks on the playing surface. The LP plays beautifully quiet from start to finish. Note that the LP was tested several weeks prior to listing and cleaned by hand and not machine. It should be cleaned again before play. The cover is in very good condition. All corners on cover show light wear.  The top and bottom seams are fairly strong with some rub wear/loss of color but no splits. The spine has some minor flaking wear at the top corner and bottom corner near spine but shows no splits and product information can be read although there is some wear.  The front and back cover are very clean with some light ring wear evident and a few small creases. The original issued plastic inner record sleeve as well as cardboard protective sleeve are also included. 

The LP is being sold without reserve and payment is expected within 3 days of auction close. Return of the LP will only be accepted if the same LP sold and shipped is returned in the same condition .Buyers that behave in a less than ethical manner will be reported and blocked from participation in future auctions. The LP will be separated from the cover when shipped to prevent seam splitting. 

If you bid on and win more than one item shipping for multiple purchases will be adjusted. If you win more than one item do not pay until I have had the opportunity to issue new invoice to reflect combined lower shipping cost. Shipping for one item is $4 and includes tracking

I only ship to Paypal confirmed addresses in the United States. Thanks for looking.

Save me as a seller as I have several sealed rare 1960's and 1970's rock, soul, blues and jazz LPs that will be auctioned over the coming months. I will auction over 200 open and very clean MFSL and other audiophile pressings (Nautilus Super Disc, Direct Disk, Nimbus Supercut, Quiex, Columbia Mastersound, and Japanese Pressings a number of which are original)  as well as over 200 promos. I will ultimately be auctioning almost 6500 rare and very clean LP album
