Description

PLEASE NOTE:  I will be out of the country from June 22 through July 3.  If payment is made no later than June 21, your item will be posted before I depart.  If payment is made after that time, your package will be posted upon my return on July 5.  I will have little or no internet access while away, nor can I send invoices or answers to questions during that time.  I will send invoices and confirmations on auctions ending June 26 upon my return.

Since eBay is now charging for shipping costs, I have decided to now offer free shipping for all purchases .  Please note that I still must charge for international shipping -- please see the note below. 

This item is an original, Apple Records pressing of the album Imagine, originally released in 1971.  This is one of my favorite Lennon solo LPs, especially the track How Do You Sleep and its NAAAASTY slide solo by George Harrison.  This song was John’s vitriolic response to what he had perceived was a shot by Paul in his song Too Many People:  “Too many people preaching practices / Don’t let them tell you what you want to be.”  If John was sensitive to the fact that he was in fact being preachy, it seems to me that the criticism – if it was even directed at John, which McCartney has always denied – was valid.  It also includes the original postcard showing John – in a parody of Paul’s Ram album holding a ram by the horns – holding a pig by the ears.  It has the original laminated cover, which – unlike many pressings of this title – is NOT peeling off.  It looks like new.  It also includes the original inner sleeve and poster.  This pressing is in beautiful condition – you will not find the cover in better condition unless you find a new and sealed copy -- and it would be an excellent addition to any Lennon / Beatles collection.

 

The vinyl is in excellent condition.  The cover is in near-mint condition, as shown in the photo.                                                                                               

NOTE TO ALL BUYERS OUTSIDE OF THE US:  Pursuant to Paypal Seller Protection Policy sections 11.3 and 11.4, EVERY item paid for by Paypal MUST be sent via PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL MAIL.  If you do not fully understand and agree, PLEASE DO NOT BID.  The fact that other sellers may send items by First Class International -- and put themselves at risk for claims -- is immaterial.  In addition, the USPS just increased their rates.  To Canada, the cost for 1 single LP is $22.75USD.  To Europe, the cost for 1 single LP is $31.00USD.  Multi-album LP sets cost more, so if you have any question at all about postage, please e-mail me before the auction ends (but please give me enough time to respond).  Other countries will be about the same as to Europe.  Combining multiple albums saves money, and I can send you the shipping costs upon request BEFORE YOU BID.  I recognize that this results in very high shipping costs, but it is of no benefit to me because the money is paid to the USPS for postage.  If you think this policy is unfair, contact Paypal -- I'm only following their rules.  If you have any questions about my shipping policy or costs, please send me an e-mail via My eBay.

I do not use stock photos.  The photo shows the actual item up for auction.

I am not a dealer, and all of the items I place up for auction are from my personal collection gathered over the past forty-plus years.  I am selling my collection little by little to pay for college expenses for my two kids, in my spare time. 

Shipping within the US is free, via media mail.  If you want Priority shipping within the U.S., the cost is a function of weight and postal zone, and I will e-mail an invoice indicating the cost of priority (I can also provide this info while the auction is pending, if you e-mail me your zip code and the number of LPs). 

 

Insurance through the USPS is available, and once again my invoice will provide the cost information. 

 

NOTE:  Sealed items are collectible because they are sealed.  Since I do not own a store, I cannot return items to the manufacturer.  Once opened, I cannot refund the purchase price in full because opening significantly affects its value. 

 

NOTE: Media mail does not have tracking.  The USPS offers delivery confirmation with online tracking.  If you want online tracking with delivery confirmation,  ability, you must purchase delivery confirmation for $0.75. 

 

International Buyers – Please Note:

·         Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

·         Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

·         These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.

·         We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.

 

I will always combine items, so that shipping costs will be more manageable.  Payment may be made by paypal.  If I do not receive payment for an item within fifteen (15) days of the end of the auction and I do not hear from you in response to e-mails, I will consider the auction results void and relist the item(s) for auction.  

 

Should you have any questions at all about postage, the payment method or for details about any item in particular, please do not hesitate to contact me.
