WE ALWAYS COMBINE SHIPPING TO SAVE YOU MONEY AND WE ALWAYS SHIP WITH TRACKING. YOUR SATISFACTION IS OUR FIRST PRIORITY!


From Reprise Records (MS 2038) this is BLUE by JONI MITCHELL, an original (first) US pressing from June 22, 1971. Gatefold jacket is NEAR MINT MINUS showing no major flaws or blemishes (one lightly bumped corner and minor shelf wear bottom back surface only); cover is sturdy and clean. Original inner sleeve is present and in NEAR MINT MINUS condition showing minor wrinkle one corner only. 

Labels are clean showing no spindle marks (see photographs).

The LP appears MINT and play grades same with no pops or clicks, no distortion, no surface noise and certainly no skips. Matrix indicates it is from the first batch (A1/A1). An amazing piece elsewhere on eBay in like condition for $200.00.  We offer it here with a low opening bid and NO RESERVE.

When you buy from a small Mom & Pop business you are not helping a CEO buy a third vacation home, a second yacht or a four hundred million dollar golden parachute.  Instead, you’re helping a little girl get dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey, a Mom put food on the table, a Dad pay a mortgage, or a student pay for college. Our customers are our shareholders; they are the ones we strive to make happy. Thank you for supporting small businesses.
