Description
NM In Excellent shape. Only played once or twice and carefully handled.
These did not come with the picture covers seen in some of these photos; I geeked out and found the covers online and printed them out.
I took the singles out of the box when I first bought this set new and put it away; it therefore has absolutely no shelf wear; the singles were inserted into plastic sleeves and essentially filed away in a 7” box. I think I played the records once each (maybe a couple I played twice) because I have all these tracks more easily accessible on LP or mp3.
From Discogs:
Features: • First of four limited edition box sets covering the four labels The Who released music through • Eight 7" singles from the start of the band's career on heavyweight vinyl with paper sleeves (reproducing the period graphics front and back with die-cut centre holes) • 7" sized 8-page booklet with liner notes by Who biographer Mark Blake • Housed in a rigid 'lid-and-tray' outer box, full color and matt lamination
All the singles in this box set were remastered in mono by Jon Astley at Close to the Edge from te original mixes - apart from 'Instant Party Mixture' as there were no original mono of this. It was a planned release that got dropped. However, from the original three-track recording, Bob Pridden and Richard Whittaker at FX created a mono mix of it specially for this collection that Jon then mastered for vinyl. All 16 tracks in this set were mastered at half-speed with Miles Showell at Abbey Road in the way that the early Motown records were cut. Using half-speed gives a better finish because the cutting head is moving about more slowly so it has more time to give a more detailed, and less distorted record with a much smoother top-end.
Thanks for looking!
CONDITION/GRADING
Unless otherwise noted, almost all vinyl is in excellent (VG++) shape and from my private collection. All records are handled with the utmost care, and the only ones that are not close to perfect are ones that I acquired used along the way (or that I've owned for decades).
Of course some records may have minuscule manufacturing hairlines or "cloudy" spots that are noticeable only when held up to bright sunlight. I mention this because I usually view records in a ray of sunlight when visually inspecting them (and I also play them) before listing. A lot of new records look like this, especially some labels from Italy and Jamaica.
Regardless, I will make a note of any blemish I notice.
I try to grade all records as honestly possible and usually on the more conservative side of what I see some others do for similar conditions. Hopefully this is reflected in my ratings. Please contact me if you have any questions.
- NM (I generally don't mark NM unless recently opened and almost new; something purchased recently and only played 2 or 3 times)
- VG++ (in very excellent, often what many others would mark as NM condition)
- VG+ (in excellent condition with possible light signs of wear or a few hairline or very slight and inaudible surface marks)
- VG (plays and looks great, but may have a couple of light surface marks and perhaps some light static here and there; covers may have light ring or shelf wear, and some discoloration (thought generally in pretty solid shape). Often what some sellers list as VG+
- Will not bother with anything less than VG (and rarely that)
SHIPPING
Records sent Media Mail in USA.
*Vinyl is removed from cover for shipping and sent in sturdy record mailers.
*Items are sent out within 2-3 business days upon receiving payment.
I will post a tracking confirmation number after visiting the post office.
Please note that Media Mail may take up to 2 WEEKS!
- $4.00 US LPs (includes Delivery Confirmation) (US ONLY)
COMBINED SHIPPING:
I will definitely do combined shipping, but only up to 3 (maybe 4) LPs (depending on thickness/weight of records) because my LP mailers can only safely hold that amount). I can toss a couple of 7"s in with an LP for no extra charge at all.
A couple of 7"s don't cost extra so the combined shipping will be the price of one ($3). Four or more will be $4
4 or more albums will usually equal a second box and a new postage fee of $4. (Sometimes I'll have a larger box on hand and can send as one package. It just depends. I'm not a store or anything and usually I just have a stack of standard LP mailers.)
Add records to cart and then click "request total from seller" (I'll send a combined shipping invoice.)
**Sometimes the eBay system doesn't figure postage correctly (or at all) when I do combined shipping, so be sure to wait for the invoice from me. I may have to mark it in "additional fees" (but I put zero for the postage box if so).
- COMBINED SHIPPING PRICES:
- Up to 3 45's/singles or 2 LP/12" albums $4.00 (I lowered the price since tracking numbers are now free at the USPS).
- 3-4 albums (or heavy double LPs): $5.00
- (includes Delivery Confirmation)
***Wait for an invoice to be sent to you before paying (for combined orders). Click on "Request Total from Seller" in the shopping cart
INTERNATIONAL
International shipping has become ridiculously expensive; worse, I've dealt with some shady people or with terrible postal services in certain countries. Because of this, I will only sell internationally upon request and with the understanding that I am not responsible for any item once I send it out. There are certain countries that have notorious reputations for substandard postal service. It's a risk for some places, and the risk is yours.
$13 Canada ($8 EPs)
$20 World ($12-$14 EPs)
2-3 LPs to Europe averages $26. It's insane. It's barely worth ordering international unless you desperately want an item.
Order internationally at your own risk! (I will be 100% honest and pack safely on my end.)
__________________________________________________________________________________________
I sell albums from my collection at reasonable starting bids (for what they are realistically worth) assuming you have a good chance at being the only bidder, often making it the selling price (I can't stand when people start at 99 cents but actually have a minimum bid of like $20 or something).
Thanks again!
