CRANIUMS The Byrds UNTITLED orig PROMO Lp RAREST ALTERNATE COVER true 1st press

$

90

FORGET all the other 200 copies on ebay all stating to be originals and first presses. This is a TRUE FIRST PRESS with the rare original misspressed cover.  Only true first presses list the song titles on back with no deliniation for the lp sides 1-4 nor are the song titles in the correct order as the lp playing order. ALL SUBSEQUENT copies band the song titles in the correct order on the back cover.

THIS IS ALSO A PROMOTIONAL  COPY! and no white label promos were issued for this lp. This is only the 3rd original I have seen in 40 years and my first promo copy. This includes the original Columbia inner sleeves

PLEASE NOTE: PLEASE READ BELOW FOR DETAILED GRADING SYSTEM / SHIPPING POLICY and please....BEFORE bidding/buying or emailing questions please read complete description and look carefully at photos.

GRADING: I try to give an accurate representation of the record with a numerical value. I infer that the records should play their visual grade. I have given a numerical grade to correspond to typical record grading for the approximate percentage of wear. For example, excellent/85 means the disc should have about 15% wear/marks from a NEW record. Sealed lps should be new. By looking at the photos you can find band info and song titles.
MINT = 100
NEAR MINT = 92-99
EXCELLENT/NEAR MINT =89-91 (borderline near mint)
EXCELLENT = 82-88
VG+/EXCELLENT = 79-81 (borderline excellent)
VG+ = 72-78
VG/VG+ = 69-71 (borderline vg+)
VG =62-68
Go to my FEEDBACK RATING and look at my ITEM AS DESCRIBED rating. I am amongst the BEST ON EBAY! I try to make it like you are actually holding the item in your hand and this numerical system allows you to get the best idea of exactly what you are buying. And really, isn't that what is truly important? I point out details and don't hide them like other ebay sellers! 

RECORD/ITEM FOR SALE:  The Byrds "UNTITLED" double lp on the US Columbia Records label. It is catalog #G 30127.

RECORD CONDITION/GRADE: The discs grade visually at near mint/93. The labels are near mint/93. The cover is vg/vg+/71 with shelf, seam, spine, opening and corner wear along with corner dings, stickers affixed and light spitting at the openings.

DOMESTIC SHIPPING:
STANDARD FLAT RATE SHIPPING to anywhere in the good ol' USA: Cost is $4 for the first lp and $1 each additional lp. This will include Slow media delivery, industry standard mailer and TWO industry standard PADS. Nothing else is included or expressed or implied with this rate. 
PRIORITY / DELIVERY CONFIRMATION / OTHER SHIPPING: If you wish priority mail rate, special/premium packaging, delivery confirmation, or any other special shipping needs then please email me when you are done purchasing from my auctions or ebay store and I can accomodate your wishes on your invoice. ALL ADDITIONAL SERVICES are charged at my cost.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:

Even though I have calculated the basic cost to ship one lp international, in the shipping calculator. PLEASE WAIT FOR INVOICE! IN ORDER FOR PAYPAL OR EBAY BUYER PROTECTION to protect your order it MUST SHIP WITH TRACKING! Your invoice will include the PRIORITY SHIPPING RATE which protects you the buyer! YOUR INVOICE will also include an OPTIONAL FIRST CLASS rate which if you chose to accept and pay that rate......THEN it is at YOUR RISK as there is NO TRACKING AND NO PAYPAL PROTECTION with the OPTIONAL FIRST CLASS RATE.
Many international buyers prefer to chose the first class shipping and I have no problem with that as it is silly to spend extra money needlessly on shipping. BUT! if you chose first class and your package does not arrive I expect you to HONOR your risk!

STANDARD FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: Please wait for invoice.  Cost is based on WEIGHT! You can email for SPECIFIC costs but the GENERAL RULE, NOT SPECIFIC! which can very due to WEIGHT! is about $16.00 for the first lp and about $5 each additional lp for USPS first class and $9.00 USPS FIRST CLASS to Canada. This includes industry standard mailer and TWO industry standard  PADS. This rate ships at YOUR RISK! Neither tracking nor insurance nor paypal protection is available with this rate! If you wish paypal protection then it must ship at the more expensive priority rate WITH TRACKING!
It is dishonorable to hold Cranium's responsible for any loss whatsoever if the priority rate or registered first class at additional cost is not chosen!

PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING WITH TRACKING: This includes industry standard mailer and TWO industry standard PADS. This rate includes tracking and. Paypal protection..
 
FINALLY: If you want to know about me, my grading or other store info then click on the me icon above next to my feedback rating. I do not sell new or newer reissue lps. The Archives I am liquidating have been sitting on shelves for at least 15 years. All my lps are vintage unless otherwise noted. Unless I am confident of my facts (and even then I've been wrong) I do not try to distinguish which pressing it is or fill you full of blather about the lp. I prefer to let you look at the photos and description and do your own research as to the desirability of each piece. I strive through photos to give the most accurate representation of records on ebay. I take photos of the covers, labels and other pertinent details.  I do occasionally misspell and make cut/paste/ and other stoner mistakes, and I appreciate when others help me out. GOOD LUCK!
I AM AN HONEST AND SQUARE DEALER. EVEN THOUGH SOME OF MY LISTINGS HAVE A NO RETURN POLICY.......I DO BACK EVERYTHING I SELL. JUST EMAIL ME IF YOU EVER EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM AND I'LL MAKE IT RIGHT.

Oh, and the usual not so fine print: Michigan state residents must pay 6.4% sales tax. I try to invoice within 48 hours. Please pay within 2 days of invoice or make other prior arraingements. Shipping is done one to two times a week. Would you like feedback? Then go ahead and give me feedback and email me and I'll return the favor.
