Description
Here's a special treat for all you vinylphiles out there! I have for sale a NM copy of the film score to "Requiem for a Dream," as composed by Clint Mansell and largely performed by the Kronos Quartet. Originally released CD-only when the movie came out in fall 2000, this is a Record Store Day release from this past April that includes a side full of bonus tracks. The LPs are 180-gram and beautifully pressed, and the jacket is made from solid durable cardboard stock. As you might expect, the album (like the movie) uses its thematic elements to explore the heroin addictions of the principle characters in the movie. Not for the faint of heart ... hence Kronos Quartet were the right choice to perform the music.
The entire package rates NM, spotless with perfect playback. The set includes a (poorly) typewritten ramble by Clint Mansell about how he got into the business of composing film scores, plus a download card. I can't guarantee if the download code still works, as I purchased the soundtrack used in late June. In any case -- happy bidding on this sure-to-be-collectible!

"Quality items at reasonable prices from an eccentric merchant!"
As a math teacher and long-time record buyer with a definite passion for both vocations, I am excited to continue to make available LPs I have collected over the last sixteen years but now need to winnow from my shelves. The items I will be posting include quite a range of genres and interests – soundtracks, specialty records, and albums ranging from the typical mainstream to the unexpectedly weird. Check back often to see what surprises I’ve got in store!
Please note my conditions of sale:
-I use Goldmine standards to rate my albums, and I seek to do so conservatively. Items will often receive both a visual check and a playgrade, so that I can review the material one last time and also listen for any differences between audible quality and my visual perception of an album's surface. If there are any potential flaws in an item, I will make sure you know about those upfront. As a rule, I will not attempt to sell records that rate below VG for the total package (unless the item in question is rare or hard to come by). Because I deal largely in used stock and will be thorough in explaining an item's condition, please note that all sales are "as is" and final – returns are not accepted.
-I ship through USPS services to destinations in the U.S. only. All records will be packed sturdily with quality outer cardboard, with records and innersleeves removed from jackets to avoid seam splits on used items. Because of the demands of my work schedule, shipments typically go out twice a week, by Wednesday (for albums paid for during the previous weekend) and by Saturday (for all later payments). Whenever possible, I crank out shipments faster than this, so rest assured you'll get your order quickly.
-I will accept payments for items through PayPal only. If you win one or more of my auctions, please make sure items are paid for within 7 days of the listing's end. Please note that I open failure-to-pay cases against those who do not pay or make any attempt to communicate with me within my stated timeframe. Please do not bid or commit to buy if you don't intend to follow through with a payment.
-Shipping will be at cost to the buyer, through Media Mail. I charge a starting fee of $3.09 for one album, then 50 cents per each additional LP in your order.
-I will always be willing to combine shipping on multiple wins/purchases. Just make sure to request an invoice prior to completing your purchase.
-A word to the wise on how I consider best offers: I often accept offers up to 30% below the listing value for my items. Please avoid lowball offers!
-The bottom line: I will make every attempt to insure your satisfaction as my customer. Let me know of any problems prior to posting negative or neutral feedback, as this will help me to refine my services and better serve my fellow record collectors out there. Enjoy!
