Queen's Brian May and Friends, Star Fleet Project Mini-LP, Van Halen, 1983

Brian May of Queen and Friends mini-LP, the famed Star Fleet project featuring guitar legend Eddie Van Halen, drummer Alan Gratzer, bassist Phil Chen and keyboardist Fred Mandel playing three songs, as listed below. The album sleeve is in very good condition, and the inlay sleeve is original with photos of the sessions, 1983. The vinyl itself appears to be in superb condition, perhaps played only a few times, if that. See photos for overall condition and features of this mini-LP.

 Note to Buyers:

I am selling my complete Queen collection, composed of UK and rare issue 45 singles; US, UK and rare issue LPs, nearly impossible to find interview discs and eastern European/Italy releases, hard-to-find solo albums, EPs, and 45s, plus my concert tour programs dating back to 1976, sheet music for some of Queen's greatest hits, and my book collection about the band and etc. so please see my other auctions.  With the exception of the 12" albums (which can be combined together if you buy more than one), all other Queen items are eligible for combined shipping (the albums have to ship in specialized boxes that don't accommodate other items).  As mentioned, below, if you buy more than one item, wait for me to send you a combined invoice.  International buyer, read below about how I can combine items for you.  

I am also selling hundreds of collectible Star Trek TOS items (LPs, records, press kits, movie posters, kites, paper goods, and etc.) and hundreds of vintage Star Trek books which has taken me nearly a year to organize, compile, grade, describe, and photograph so please see all my other Star Trek book auctions and collectible auctions. Nearly all of the book auction sales can be combined for economical shipping with a few exceptions (e.g., the early "numbered" Star Trek book auctions where I've already combined ~50 books together so those boxes are already pretty big and heavy so I have specifically excluded those very few auctions from a combined shipping option).

Please note that this combined shipping option is available for domestic US customers by simply waiting for me to gather your auction wins together and quote you a revised shipping cost.  Do not pay the automated eBay invoice if you buy more than one item, please allow me to combine your items and quote you an economical combined shipping price.   

Unfortunately eBay prohibits sellers from direct invoicing or combining shipping for international buyers; in fact, we aren't allowed to be involved in what they charge you.  If you buy more than one item as an international buyer, the eBay automated system mindlessly adds all the individual shipping costs up when, in fact, your items could have been combined for a shipping cost saving. If this happens to you, please message me and I have a way of remedying that situation. For domestic buyers, if you buy more than one item during any given week, do not pay the automated eBay invoice that is issued at the auction close, rather please wait for me to issue you a combined shipping invoice. Please note that given I am selling nearly 400 books, I will need the following day to work out how to combine your multiple auction wins. Luckily, nearly all these Star Trek books qualify for economical Media Mail shipping although I did provide on occasion either a First Class or Priority Mail shipping option if you need the items quickly. 

I have provided numerous photos of the books so please inspect those photos carefully for any issues before you make a purchase. I have attempted to grade the books using the ABE Books system and note any major flaws with the volumes. I have provided a lot of photos for you to examine to inspect the condition of any given item.    

I am also selling my entire historical geological reference library (also numbering in the hundreds), movie posters, and other interesting books in preparation for retirement so if you are interested, please see those auctions also. 

Please consider All Sales to be Final, with no returns. Please be sure that this is the item you are looking for prior to bidding. If you have any questions about the content or condition of an item, please ask prior to placing a bid.  Thanks.
