Frances the Mute [Gatefold Vinyl 3LP] - The Mars Volta (GSL) - LIGHT PLAY

$

86

SELLER NOTES: Purchased in 2008 but only unwrapped about three years ago, well after the height of my Mars Volta fanaticism only to play it one time and not a full play, at that. I think one disc remains unplayed because I didn't get through "Cassandra Gemini" (though I love that track). Yes, I was dumb for opening it.

Point is, it's just taking up space I don't have, and I know TMV fans are always looking for Volta vinyl, new and used. I hope you'll grab this, which is well out of print, since GSL is totally gone & Omar is no longer with Sargent House. Who knows when or if they'll have the resources to reissue it again.

PLEASE BE AWARE that even though I essentially did not use the vinyl, there are still light scuffs on the discs here and there, as well as typical crate corner wear-and-tear on the gatefold. The back surface has a small white scuff near the top. The INSIDE of the front surface fold has a small white scuff toward the bottom. All these are INCREDIBLY LIGHT compared to the other listings I've seen on eBay--please see my pics above. None of these are particularly noticeable and do not detract from the incredible artwork/photography by Storm.

Feel free to ask Qs. I'll provide add'l pics for serious prospective buyers ONLY. As a devoted music and vinyl fan, I am not interested in misrepresenting the item, so please understand I'm being as forthright as I can using everything I know and have seen with my eyes. In the event that it does not meet your expectations based on my posting, or if it arrives broken, refunds will be allowed for good reason, i.e. with photo evidence.
IMPORTANT RE: SHIPPING: for a record so rare and pricey, I will not downgrade to Media Mail due to the USPS tendency to be rougher with that class of mail, regardless of any Fragile signs/stickers. LPs sent as Media Mail are also more likely to be opened/inspected due to the skepticism that it's a piece of media, and since they never repack it properly, it becomes even more vulnerable in the time before it gets to you. Please accept the pricier, higher-quality services, whether Parcel Select or Priority--it's for your own good. I would even suggest insurance, honestly.
Thanks for looking. Good luck!
