Test Pressing Original master Recording Very Rare Alice Cooper Audiophile

Description

View My Other Items For Sale  more mfsl coming soon

PLEASE read full description, lots of detail given.

Beginnings of a bottom edge seam split (see last photo) even though it is not supposed to have a retail outer jacket as a test pressing,( the employee from MFSL this came from must have aquired a jacket to keep it in). Does not come with the standard white jacket test pressings usually came in.

Remastered for Audiophile rather than the 'Tuned down to radio airplay' quality of standard issues, remastered from the Original Master tapes from Atlantic, and pressed on  Virgin  vinyl, awsome if you have the sound system capable of displaying the difference.  This one is one of usually only 10 test pressings done for an MFSL release (INFO given when I purchased in 2006) Which by definition makes this very early off the Mother stamper.   If you get in before bidding starts, you can secure it at the fixed price, which for a test pressing of Alice Cooper is much less than others recently at a fixed price.

CARE !!!  ONE 1" BEGINNING SEAM SPLIT of the  jacket ON BOTTOM EDGE,   NO OTHER visible knocks or splits to  jacket.  

Rare Audiophile re issue of this landmark album,

Post quoted at 750gm as item is heavy CARD COVER and A VALUABLE RARE PRESSING WHICH I INTEND TO PACK WITH A DOUBLE LINER CARD (4 IN TOTAL)  so with  packing, definitely can't get it lighter than 750 gm post rate. and yes , when you look at the post tab to your world destination, Australia Post REALLY IS That Expensive !!  and you will only get charged the cost of postage and if order is under 60 gbp value, a $2AUD packing fee (new box)

COVER CONDITION   VG+++++ DUE TO LIGHT SEAM SPLIT AS DESCRIBED (see photos )

LP CONDITION According to info recieved when purchased 2006, previous owner (MFSL Employee) only played their test pressings RARELY (IF AT ALL, and close inspection of the spindle hole indicates this MAY have never been played, certainly no rotational spindle trails, and both sides of label hole are extending past the vinyl hole and unbent, although a small edge tear to the label hole on side B while the rest of that hole edge is undamaged. )

Matrix runouts read A1  and B1  with  1 1 1 after the "ORTOFON " script

ITEMS are located in AUSTRALIA, see further down for Australia Post Rates to your destination!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Australian buyers can pay in AUD,

USA DOMICILED BUYERS,

DUE TO AIRMAIL SECURITY CHECKS, THE POSTAGE IS VERY EXPENSIVE DUE TO THE ADDED SURCHARGE FOR X RAY SECURITY, SEE POST TAB

UK Buyers BE AWARE !!

Post limit of 4GBP as stipulated by ebay, THIS ITEM IS EXEMPT UNDER THE BULKY ITEM RULING, SO ANY UK RESIDENT PAYING ONLY 4GBP WILL BE SENT A FURTHER INVOICE FOR THE REAL POST COST TO THE UK. ( 4GBP APPLIES ONLY TO SINGLE LP'S OF NORMAL WEIGHT)

There is an option on your UK invoice for Economy mail, which will be by Air Mail and therefore the regular 10-15 days, SO I would strongly recommend paying the optional invoice amount of GBP19.90 (yes oz post is amongst the most expensive in the world, but they run at a profit (unfortunately for me) as opposed to subsidised operations in other countries).

IN CASE AN OVERSEAS BUYER PAYS THE INVOICE BEFORE I GET TO ADJUST IT IN LINE WITH THE CHART BELOW, A REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS OR A REFUND IF OVERPAID WILL SOON FOLLOW!!!!!

Postage calculator NOT WORKING ACCURATELY when I live in Australia....... Item will be mailed from Australia, see list of world zones just below for air mail rate from Australia, do not pay automated ebay invoice (IF ONE ARRIVES) until receiving adjusted postage invoice.

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.

NO..... I will not reduce the stated value of the LP on any customs declarations, Australia post bases its insurance on the declared value, so if I understate it I am at risk of losing its value should it go missing, You as a buyer are covered by paypal protection, so bid accordingly.  

NO .... Paypal does not cover me if its not insured, I know I have looked into the situation EXTENSIVELY!!

RULES FOR BIDDING

DOES ANYBODY READ THIS?? I THINK NOT BASED ON RECENT BIDDING ACTIVITY ON MY ITEMS!! PLEASE READ...

If you have hidden feedback, or

less than 98% positive, or

less than 50 recent visible positives, (that's NEW EBAY registrations with little activity yet, that have proven your good buying habits)  THEN -

I would appreciate email contact first to establish your credentials.  Credentials mean that I need to know you will be paying with VERIFIED PAYPAL account, and I of course will only be mailing to that verified address. DON'T EXPECT TO GET MY PERMISSION IN THE LAST 2 HOURS OF BIDDING, DO IT BEFOREHAND. (Buyers who have had trouble free transactions with me already qualify of course, regardless of the feedback status)

Winning bids unpaid after 7 days will be reported as non paying bidder and item opened to second chance offer.

HAPPY BIDDING, QUESTIONS WELCOME

Check for Australia post cost and access to your country by emailing me or go to their web address and check it out  http://www1.auspost.com.au/pac/

Combined postage with other items welcome Please ask.

Combined purchases over $100AUD (60GBP) recieve FREE packing (it pays to Bulk Buy!!!)

IF insurance is required on any Missionselit purchases please be aware I CAN ONLY INSURE BASED ON THE CUSTOMS DECLARATION STATED VALUE, PLEASE BE AWARE SHOULD YOU BE LIABLE FOR ANY CUSTOMS ON A SECOND HAND LP IN YOUR COUNTRY, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT PAYMENT (UK, Sth Korea, Germanyand possibly Malaysia has this problem I believe). The need for me to cover  insurance for any loss in the postal service means  I will  not under any circumstances  understate the customs declaration value, for the above reasons.
