PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI

- STORIA DI UN MINUTO

NUMERO UNO ZSLN 55055

This is an original Italian issue pressing on the original Numero Uno label - NOT a later Si Wan reissue.

1A and 2A matrix etch after the stamped catalog # in the rolloff wax.

Vinyl - Near Mint Plus      this is a spectacular looking specimen of the original issue pressing. There is one tiny, faint, nearly impossible to see but only in the harshest side reflecting back light - superficial sleeve scuff.  The plating is gorgeous and so are the labels.  I play tested this at various quieter passages and between tracks with a nude, bi-radial stylus and it is awesomely quiet - which is crucial with the music PFM is performing because they transition back in forth from soft, acoustic to louder and more frenetic song segments - hence classic Prog rock. Play Grade - Mint Minus. 

The record is super clean and turntable ready & will be in a Japanese anti-static 'rice paper' sleeve.

Jacket - Very Good ++    Gatefold

very modest and minimal shelf wear on the flat of the cover.  Almost nothing that resembles ringwear, but on the back cover there is a moderate degree of the circular impression of the disc. I've provided quite a bit in the way of photos and one of the items I've detailed is that the previous owner applied a small piece of Scotch 'magic' transparent tape to the very edge of the top and bottom corners. Unobtrusive but something I wanted to note. Edgewear is minor and spine has some medium degree of shelfwear - again, please check photos. Some minor creasing. No seam splits.

I'll ship this internationally (see notes below for details), but please request a price quote on shipping before you bid. I'm very fair on shipping and only charge actual cost (USPS First Class International). 

Also - only on Domestic Shipments - I will cover the cost of insuring the LP and delivery confirmation.

BREAKING NEWS!

New Lower Shipping Rates – in spite of recent USPS increases! Standard Media Mail Shipping for 1 LP is now just $3.85, doubles $3.95 - and each extra single LP that you win in the same auction cycle is just .50 additional up to 12 LPs total!

Things I'd like you to know:

Low starting prices don't = low quality! The minimum grade vinyl I list is VG+ / NM- to NM or M- (Goldmine Reference Standards) Condition of LP and Covers noted in detail.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS – WE WELCOME YOU

Email me (through 'Contact Seller') and I will quote shipping for you. Obviously, I have no way of tracking or confirming delivery to your residence – but I will be happy to provide the Customs ID number.

Friendly Seller:

I'm not paranoid, I don't have a chip on my shoulder, I don't jump to conclusions or have a defensive attitude about buyers ( I still am one ), and I don't breathe down buyers' necks for payment. If you need an invoice – let me know - I'll be happy to prepare one, but other than that – if you want to continue shopping and combine auction wins, please just drop me a quick note. Bottom line – hassle free shopping.

SHIPPING NOTES:

Green Shipping To conserve energy and provide fast shipment, I take purchases to the Post Office at least twice a week – sometimes 3 times. This way you will never have more than a 48 / 84 hour gap between payment and shipping.

All orders packed in LP Shipment grade mailing boxes.  I don't construct my own - these are legit and virtually Post Office proof.  The inside of the mailer is safely reinforced with recycled cardboard and / or Bubble wrap or Poly padding.

SPECIAL NOTE: Until further notice, I have a small number of sturdy mailing boxes that will accommodate 10 -12 LP's – so if you want to save a bundle on shipping and would like to combine several auction wins – please be my guest.

Because I ALWAYS provide delivery confirmation to you FREE of charge, you can track it. Having said that – now and then, USPS Media Mail is going to be slower now because of the cutbacks - so, I will gladly, per your request, provide Priority shipping as an option at a similarly reasonable cost.

If you know you'll want Priority, please kindly alert me before you pay for the item.

I'll combine shipping:

Each additional LP up to 12 total, will be just .50 cents extra.

I'll be listing many more in a diverse range of musical styles in coming weeks, so bookmark a listing and check back in.
