Aerosmith
"Toys In The Attic" LP
Columbia PC 33479 - U.S. 1st Pressing
37 Year Old Vinyl In EX+/NM Condition!
No cut-outs, saw-cuts, or bagain bin designations whatsoever!

Up for auction we have Aerosmith's 1975 release, "Toys In The Attic", their break-through album featuring "Toys In The Attic", "Walk This Way", and "Sweet Emotion".

What makes this vinyl extremely collectible is that it is the U.S. 1st pressing, meaning it was manufactured during one of the first batches pressed from the master plates, which in turn means that this slab of vinyl is of superior sound quality compared to later pressings, as the master plates overtime become dull and the quality of music pressed to the vinyl suffers.

Adding to the collectibility of this vinyl is the fact that it remained in it's original shrinkwrap (although opened on the side) until I received it in March of 2011. Being already opened, I completely removed the shrinkwrap as it was beginning to pull on the lower right hand corner of the cover. Being covered for 37 years, the cover is in stunning near mint condition. Check out other copies of this currently being offered on Ebay, and you will see that the mass majority are withered, torn, and suffer from mass amounts of ringwear. This copy has NONE OF THOSE! The corners are sharp (other than a slight dogear on the lower right hand corner, see photos), and the only other real points of damage are along the right hand side of the cover (again, see photos. I assume this is because this is the side that the vinyl would be removed from, and occasionally got bumped by the original owner.) The spine is square and fully legible.

The vinyl is beautiful and glossy, and although it does have paper wisps from being slid in and out of the paper inner sleeve, I wasn't able to find any major damage on either side, such as cracks, nicks, or deep scratches. The paper wisps should remove easily from a nice cleaning, but I do not possess the knowledge nor equipment to clean vinyl, so I will leave that up to the high bidder. The vinyl labels are bright, glossy, and in near mint condition.

As mentioned above, the original white generic inner sleeve is also included, and only suffers partial knifing to one of it's three sealed sides.

The vinyl will be mailed inside a protective mylar sleeve for protection and display purposes.

If you have any doubts about bidding, take a look at my feedback, and again, check out other copies of this vinyl being offered on Ebay and you will see that this is a beauty!

I ship priority the same day payment clears or the next day at the latest, and my customers have their purchase in their hands 2 to 3 days after the auction's end (if bidder pays instantly). Again, check out my feedback for shipping references.

PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS PRIOR TO BIDDING!

Shipping and Handling:
Buyer agrees to pay shipping cost of $7 for priority shipping (regardless of ebay's rules.) They refuse to acknowledge the fact that it now takes $11 to ship ONE vinyl/record to the west coast from the east coast, so I think charging $7 for shipping is more than fair. Any overage charged (if any, I usually end up paying out of pocket) will be refunded to the buyer. If buyer only pays for the $4 shipping limit that ebay enforces, I will be forced to ship them first class, in order to not have to pay so much out of pocket. Delivery confirmation will also be included. Please allow 3 days for handling (in the event that the auction ends during the weekend), but I normally ship items out the same day that payment clears. If you need any reassurance, feel free to look through my feedback. I SHIP TO THE UNITED STATES ONLY (EXCLUDING HAWAII AND ALASKA)! PLEASE ONLY BID IF YOU LIVE WITHIN THE CONTINENTAL U.S.!

Payment:
Payment will be accepted through PayPal ONLY, and is expected within 48 hours of auction's end. Failure to do so will result in the item being relisted. I don't mean to be overly picky about this, but I'm only selling these items to fund a trip, so the acquiring of the funds is time sensitive.

Thanks for looking and good luck!
