The Police - Certifiable: Live in Buenos Aires - Cherry Tree triple LP 2008 NM

$

27

As a special offering, I present to you a pristine copy of The Police's recent live album Certifiable: Live in Buenos Aire, in its scarce triple LP form.  Released one year after the band's reunion tour (for which Sting had once commented that he'd have to be crazy to play with Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland again), the album features interesting rearrangements and adaptations of the group's most memorable songs, including transposed versions of "Don't Stand So Close to Me," "Invisible Sun," and "So Lonely," plus new medleys of "Can't Stand Losing You/Regatta de Blanc" and "Voices Inside My Head/When the World is Running Down."

I am the original purchaser of this album and have given it exquisite treatment since I bought it six years ago this month.  The records all still rate NM and have no signs of visible and audible wear; most tracks have only been played through three times.  The jacket also rates NM, and will come to you in a plastic outersleeve.  The only things marring this set are that one of the innersleeves and a picture insert got folded/crumpled when thrust into the jacket during the album's initial packing.  All in all, expect the very best on this one - happy bidding!

"Quality items at reasonable prices from an eccentric merchant!"

As a math teacher and long-time record buyer with a definite passion for both vocations, I am excited to continue to make available LPs I have collected over the last fourteen years but now need to winnow from my shelves.  The items I will be posting include quite a range of genres and interests – soundtracks, specialty records, and albums ranging from the typical mainstream to the unexpectedly weird.  Check back often to see what surprises I’ve got in store! 

Please note my conditions of sale:

-I use Goldmine standards to rate my albums, and I seek to do so conservatively.  Items will often receive both a visual check and a playgrade, so that I can review the material one last time and also listen for any differences between audible quality and my visual perception of an album's surface.  If there are any potential flaws in an item, I will make sure you know about those upfront.  As a rule, I will not attempt to sell records that rate below VG for the total package (unless the item in question is rare or hard to come by).  Because I deal largely in used stock and will be thorough in explaining an item's condition, please note that all sales are "as is" and final – returns are not accepted.

-I ship through USPS services to destinations in the U.S. only. All records will be packed sturdily with quality outer cardboard, with records and innersleeves removed from jackets to avoid seam splits on used items.  Because of the demands of my work schedule, all shipping will go out twice a week, by Wednesday (if an album was purchased the previous weekend) and by Saturday (for all later purchases or payments).

-I will accept payments for items through PayPal only. If you win one or more of my auctions, please make sure items are paid for within 7 days of the listing's end.  Please note that I open failure-to-pay cases against those who do not pay or make any attempt to communicate with me within my stated timeframe.  Please do not bid or commit to buy if you don't intend to follow through with a payment.

-Shipping will be at cost to the buyer, through Media Mail.  I charge a starting fee of $3.17 for one album, then 50 cents per each additional LP in your order. 

-I will always be willing to combine shipping on multiple wins/purchases.  Just make sure to request an invoice prior to completing your purchase.

-The bottom line: I will make every attempt to insure your satisfaction as my customer.  Let me know of any problems prior to posting negative or neutral feedback, as this will help me to refine my services and better serve my fellow record collectors out there.  Enjoy!
