Description
This is the definitive collection of the history of Eric Clapton’s genius. These six albums encapsulate his career from his first recordings with The Yardbirds through his mid-1980’s solo work. It is a phenomenal compilation. The set was released on Polydor in 1988, number 835 261-1. This is the original release of the set. The 30 page booklet of photos and notes is included as is the one page Songwriters and Publishers Index. All six original inner sleeves are included as well. I have not listened to all six albums, though I did spot play each one. The vinyl is in beautiful condition with its bright original luster and just a couple of very light surface scratches on each record. The vinyl grades VG+. The collection is presented as a box set. All corners and seams are sharp, tight, and intact. There is a small scrape near the bottom of the back. There is a bit of age discoloration. The box grades VG+. Please view the photo for a complete track list.
Grading Information
I always clean and then listen to every record I list on eBay. I do this to make sure I can give as accurate a description of each record as possible. I will do both a visual check and an audio check. I absolutely attempt to give as objective a grading as I can. I don’t ever want you to be disappointed in the quality of the album you receive. My promise is that I will never put up for auction any album that I would not be proud to play for others on my own turntable.I only use four grades in my grading: NM, VG+, VG, and G. The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition. My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve. The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects. It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static. On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album. Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading. Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there. That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen. In this case the vinyl will be graded VG. Very occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.
Shipping Information – Combined Shipping
Shipping is $4.00 in the continental U.S. In addition, I will happily combine records from multiple auctions to reduce total shipping cost. In fact, I welcome it! Shipping will be $4.00 in the U.S regardless of the number of auctions won in any 5-day period.Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates. Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. Canada shipping rates have gone up dramatically. This six album set will need to be shipped Priority mail. At a cost of $50 USD. For all non US and non-Canada locations shipping will be $60.
All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening. If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day. Payment by PayPal is preferred.
