Pink Floyd – Meddle – Progressive Rock-Psychedelic Rock Vinyl LP - OG - Echoes

$

23

Pink Floyd went through a major transition with the departure of Syd Barrett from the original group due to his supposed mental health issues.  Meddle has been described as the transitional album between the Syd Barrett led group to the Pink Floyd that became, and still remains, one of the most powerful and influential groups of all time.  This is an absolutely incredible album that is highlighted with the epic side two classic track, “Echoes”.  It was released on Harvest in 1971, number SMAS-832.  This is the original release of the album.  The matrix runoff on side one reads:  SMAS-1-832-H8.  Side two reads:  SMAS-2-832-H8.  The vinyl still has its bright original luster though with several light surface scratches. It plays great with just light background noise throughout including several small tics.  There is a name stamped on the side one label. The vinyl grades VG.  The gatefold album cover shows ring wear and corner and edge wear including a thin one inch split in the middle of the bottom seam and a thin one inch split on the open side of the bottom seam.  The other seams show a bit of wear but are sharp, tight, and intact.  There is a name stamped lightly on the front. The cover grades VG.

Grading Information

I use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings.  The first album will be shipped for $21.  Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country.  Typically the cost per album will be no more than $27.  Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.

Thanks for looking and please contact me with any questions.
