SECURE, TOP LP Packing and Materials - 40+ years experience.
A few select Rare, Collectible Vintage 1960s-1970s PSYCH and related CLASSIC ROCK VINYL LPs up now as Buy It Now listings -- as a prelude to a massive, soon upcoming AUCTION series of Prime vintage Psych and related 60's/70's Rock that will take me until early September to have ready to drop. I will list as many as are ready at that time; may be as few as 60, possibly over 100 in that first Auction series... will include many rare, obscure and highly sought PSYCH LPs along with several more prime LPs each from more well known artists (Hendrix, Doors, Zappa, Beefheart, Beatles, Stones, Grateful Dead, LOVE, The Nazz, Blue Cheer, Bloomfield, Byrds, Dylan, Zombies, Small Faces etc. etc.)  You won't want to miss those!
...including several PROMOS, STERLING Masters, Monarch Pressings and IMPORTS.
Needing to list these few BINS here first, to ensure I will have enough top packaging on-hand up-front, for best, quickest ship-out when those auctions end.

from 50+ years collection estate of decades-long Radio DJ, Record Store associate and dedicated Vinyl Collector

So be sure to check back to my mm_rockpile listings to be able to get in on the auctions!
Diligent collectors will be rewarded!  ...SO many cool goodies finally being let go of, as I trim down this huge, merged collection to my few single-copy-each faves. (I'm 72 now ... no reason for me to still hold on to any more than 1 copy of each LP. )

 This listing is for:

_______________________________________________________________________
From an utterly vast and deep record collection, from my life-long best friend (Now merged with my own collection) who was a DJ at the Radio Station I co-founded in the 1970's - and who worked for me at my California record store in the '70s and '80s. . Sadly he has now left this mortal coil, bequeathing me his deep Vinyl Mine.
We had very similar tastes - so numerous prime duplicates are being listed.
Many PROMOS, IMPORTS and 1st PRESSINGS are included.
.
Several thousand records (mostly LP's, but also hundreds of 45's), several hundred collectible and Rare, Out of Print CDs and Box Sets, plus posters and other memorabilia will all eventually be listed.

Truly a great (and enormous) collection! _______________________________________________________________________ .
You deserve and will receive FAST SHIPPING and CAREFUL, SECURE PACKING.
 My LP packing is considered to be among the very best on eBay! All records packed (with vinyl inside inner sleeve, behind cover for open LPs) with bubble-wrap around all sides - sandwiched between stiff corrugated flats - and shipped in strong LP mailer boxes, for best protection in the mail.
COMBINED SHIPPING DISCOUNT available for items purchased together in same payment: ACTUAL POSTAGE cost, by package weight.

 Simply put each item into the eBay CART, then make one single payment for all chosen items from my listings for the discount. ...otherwise eBay checkout cannot see your other combined items.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:
 CUSTOMS costs are the responsibility of the Buyer. I NO LONGER risk going to prison for putting false low values or pretending the package is a "gift". Please don't ask me for that. THANKS!
