Description
UNTITLED (ALMOST FAMOUS SOUNDTRACK) Classic Records 2LP 200gm Vinyl Rarity! This is LOW #240 of only 2,500 copies pressed worldwide!
COMMENTS: Pictures 4 through 11 show each LP corner, starting from the Front Upper Left and proceeding clockwise (Pictures 4 through 7) and in the same order for the rear (Pictures 8 through 11).
The corners are bumped and/or worn (Pictures 4, 6, 7). Please note that most of the LP cover is in EX+ to NM condition, and all of the ring wear and random handling marks are faked.
There is a crease/dent to the Front Upper Left side of the cover (Picture 12) that measures approximately 1 1/4 inches vertically.
There is also a seam split to one of the LP inner sleeves (Picture 13) that measures approximately 3 1/2 inches (it's the sleeve that has them posed like the Allmans' Fillmore East cover). The seam split was there when the album was opened, and I have stored both LPs in generic cardboard covers ever since.
Pictures 14 and 15 show each side of the inner gatefold cover.
Pictures 16 through 19 show each side of the inner sleeves.
Picture 20 shows the Stillwater concert poster.
Picture 21 shows the LP stored in its bespoke poly sleeve with hype stickers.
AUDIO SAMPLE: The video is a "needle drop" audio sample of 3 tracks from each LP side (which allows for 5-second samples). The 2LP set has 22 tracks, and eBay limits videos to 60 seconds, so in cases such as this I always sample the first track of each LP side (the most likely track to exhibit noise and non-fill issues, btw), followed by tracks in the middle and end of each side. The video sample includes the following:
Side 1 Tracks 1, 3 & 5 Side 4 Tracks 1, 3 & 6 Side 2 Tracks 1, 3 & 5 Side 3 Tracks 1, 3 & 6
The vinyl grades on average a solid EX+ to NM!
BTW, they really went "old school" on this 2LP release, placing Side 1 and Side 4 on LP1, and Side 2 and Side 3 on LP2. Anyone old enough to remember stacking LPs and 45s on record changers will understand...
About My Used Records - NOT REQUIRED READING, BUT...If you have not purchased an open/used record from me, this section might be worth reading once, as I offer a handful of reasons why I think I offer a superior record-buying experience. Here goes:
1) I'm selling my personal collection. I purchased every item I sell here, and therefore I know where and when I got it, and whether the LP has been played frequently, or not at all, etc.
2) I take care of my records. Once an LP is open, the record is always stored in a rice-paper (Mobile Fidelity/Quality Pressings-type) or a poly-lined sleeve. For over 20 years I've made a practice of cleaning a record EVERY TIME before I play it. I've owned VPI, Audiodesk, and Degritter cleaners, and for the last several years I use the KLAudio 200T, which is widely considered to be the best cleaner on the market (Acoustic Sounds is said to have their KLAudios running 24 hours a day for their used record business). I also clean my stylus after the end of each LP side. I currently use the DS Audio ST-50 cleaner. Finally, I use high-end cartridges for playback. Owing to these best practices, my LPs do not undergo the kinds of wear you might typically encounter. Generally speaking, if an LP I sell has incidents of surface noise, it's because of the pressing itself.
By the way, thanks to KLAudio, I am certain that a new LP cleaned on that machine is unquestionably in better condition than a sealed ("mint") LP. Why? Take a look at the next new record you buy. You're likely to see all kinds of dust or other debris, and that doesn't include the microscopic detritus you can't see. A new record is actually upgraded after it's been cleaned by the KLAudio cleaner. All used records I sell here are cleaned before shipment.
3) Since 1984 or so, my work involved extensive traveling throughout the U.S. My free-time was always devoted to checking out any and all record stores. By the early 2000's, after you add Ebay and other online vendors into the mix, I ended up with a collection of 7,000+ records! (it's down to 5,000+ now). However, there are only so many hours in the day, and the upshot is that many of the "used" records I sell have only been played once or twice, if at all.
About Me: I'm a long time Ebay buyer and seller intent on selling a significant portion of my LP collection over the next year or two (or three!). I believe in the auction process, so I list my LPs with low opening bids and NO RESERVES. Please have a look at some of the feedback I've gotten over the years; you will be hard-pressed to find a better or more trustworthy source for high value collectibles. The LPs I sell here are routinely listed on other sites at very high asking prices. Here's your chance to get these fantastic rarities in an open auction, reflecting their true market value. I believe this is the most fair process for both buyer and seller -- and it's way more fun!
I look forward to getting rare, out of print records into the hands of music lovers, record collectors and audiophiles (I consider myself all of the above). All LPS stored in a smoke-free, climate controlled environment.
COMBINED SHIPPING: I am more than happy to combine shipping. Ebay buyers pay the actual postage costs and a single $2 charge for shipping materials.
PayPal Payments Only. Payment required within 3 days after the end of auction. All records will ship USPS Media Mail.
