Analogue Productions Limited Edition # 0329 of 1,000

180g Virgin Vinyl, 2 LPs at 45rpm (AJAZ-9351)

Mastered by Steve Hoffman for Analogue Productions from the original Stereo Master Tape.

  If this is one of your favorite albums, you should hear it at the best it has ever sounded — on quiet 180g premium vinyl,

from the real original master tape, cut on an all vacuum-tube system, at 45rpm.

Analogue Productions Catalog Number:  AJAZ 9351

Still Sealed, Long Out of Print

This is from the 2nd Set of 25 titles, issued in 2003-2004 by Analogue Productions.  One of the great and hard to find earlier titles from the 45rpm Fantasy Jazz Series, rarely offered or even seen in Sealed condition anymore.  Another great one, both sound quality and performance.

Double-Box Packaging:

The sealed Album will be placed inside an additional new clear poly outer protective album cover, sandwiched between two album-sized cardboard stiffeners which are then carefully taped, lightly squeezing the album between the cardboard stiffener edges, enough to prevent the album from sliding up and down or side to side, preventing any seam splits to the sealed album during transit.  The album is packaged in a record LP mailer box with cardboard stiffeners and sealed.  The record mailer box is then placed inside a larger heavy cardboard (200Lb. Test) shipping box, surrounded by foam peanuts and/or bubble-wrap.  Your record album will be packaged securely and insured. (please check my feedback & see photos below)

There is no reason to take chances with substandard packaging methods or materials!

eBay History of Record LP sales:

Most of my eBay feedback is from record LP sales and purchases, going back 12+ years.  If you click on my Feedback number and then click the “Feedback as a Seller” tab, you will see that nearly half of my total is from Sales, and nearly all of it is from the sale of vinyl record albums.  Please do check my Seller feedback comments with regard to accurate LP grading, safe packaging and timely shipping.

I leave positive feedback after payment is made.  If there is any problem with your package, please contact me before leaving any feedback, so that I have the opportunity to resolve the issue.  My goal is to have happy customers, positive feedback and repeat business.

Payment, Shipping and Return Details:

Payment: I accept Paypal, and ship to the confirmed Paypal address.  Payment required within 4 days, per eBay rules.  If payment is not made in 4 days, the sale will have to be canceled and the album will either be re-listed, or may be offered to the second highest bidder if it is a regular auction listing.

 Packaging Photos:

These are the packaging materials and sequence:

2) Next the album, sealed inside a standard Record Mailer box, with cardboard stiffeners (the way most sellers ship albums) is placed on the layer of foam peanuts.

3) Every side of the Record Mailer box has approximately 1” of foam peanuts for padding protection.

4) Final layer of foam peanuts, filled to the top.

5) Large outer box sealed.

6) Comparison photo #1 showing a Bob Dylan album cover (NOT INCLUDED!) on top of standard white Record Mailer box, on top of large outer shipping box.

7) Comparison photo #2 again showing a Bob Dylan album cover (not incuded!) on top of a white standard Record Mailer box, which is sitting on top of the large outer shipping box, to demonstrate how the standard Record Mailer box is barely larger than your valuable LP, providing little protection.

8) Comparison photo #3 showing side view (thickness) of standard Record Mailer box compared to the outer shipping box that I use to protect your record album.
