Description

Items in this lot are:
  • Plastic Ono Band -- Label: Apple -- Record#: Sapcor 17 Stereo

Special note to foreign bidders: I declare foreign shipments as merchandise with the value you bid for them. Shipment to foreign buyers is via priority mail international with insurance for the value bid. Please e-mail for shipping costs before bidding as this method costs more, but is insurable and trackable. Example: United Kingdom 1-2 pounds $27.00 + $1.85 box/tape/pack = $28.85.
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.

Feedback/bidding policy: I check feedback daily and will return feedback promptly. Although I go to great lengths to accurately describe my items, if you feel the merchandise is not as described, e-mail me BEFORE leaving feedback and we will resolve it. Please note I do allow returns (see return policy below). If you bid and do not pay, you may expect negative feedback and an unpaid item strike.

Description: Up for your consideration is the next in a series of unique Lps, this one by Yoko Ono -- an apparent UK version on the Apple label.

Several unique things about this item: Firstly, the item retains the original shine with only a few short, light imperfections on track 1 of side 1. I did take the time to play through that track and found some light surface noise towards the beginning of the track. Based on past experience and observation, one should expect the tracks to audibly average at least half way between VG+(excellent) and Near Mint.
Secondly, at the time of this listing, no past/present sales on e-bay that I could find for this Sapcor 17 pressing, so this is your chance to own a unique item at a reasonable price. Bid early and often so you don't miss out on this item!

It is further described below, please take the time to read before bidding.

Please e-mail if questions.

Be sure to check my other listings to save postage on multiple winning bids. Please explore the "Me" link above(next to feedback rating) to check out my store and some of the 15,000+ records / books / CD's / cassettes I have for sale as well as the LP to CD transfer service I offer.

I am using the Goldmine scale of G=Good(1), VG = Very Good(2), VG+ = Very Good Plus(excellent)(3), NM = Near Mint(4) when grading the disc(s).


Here is a summary of the record(s):

Artist: Yoko Ono Title: Plastic Ono Band Record: Black vinyl with original shine and a few short, light imperfections on one track on side 1. Labels: Note the labels say: "Play in the Dark" which some folks mistake for the title of the album. Black/white apple with black/white print. No pen/pencil marks, no stickers, a few spindle marks. Trailing wax: Side 1: "SAPCOR 17A-1U" and "1". Side 2: "SAPCOR 17B-1U" and "1". Inner sleeve: An original white sleeve in fine shape, some slight folds. Cover: Corners moderately worn with creased tips. Small, short crinkles around the edges with a few longer crinkles/creases. Slight general/ring wear front/back. A small sticker front upper right corners, no seam splits, no pen/pencil marks. Rate the cover VG to VG+(excellent). Comments: Based on visual observation, short test, and experience, one should expect the tracks to audibly average at least 1/2 of the way between VG+(excellent) and Near Mint. An excellent addition to your Yoko Ono collection. Side 1: Side 2: Why AOS Why not Touch me Greenfield morning I pushed an empty baby carriage all over the city Paper shoes

Additional criteria I use when audibly grading records for people:

  • NM(4) = absolutely nothing wrong at all (very rarely happens--I've even opened sealed records and they don't play Near Mint)
  • 3.5-3.9 = very, very light surface noise
  • 3.1-3.4 = very light surface noise, very light pops
  • VG+(3) = up to light pops and light surface noise (below this, one's enjoyment is affected, very subjective)
  • VG(2) = up to medium pops and moderate surface noise
  • G(1) = up to heavy pops and heavy surface noise

I normally ship Lp's in 14"x14"x6" boxes padded in styrofoam. Weight with box is about 1 pound 14 oz. Shipping is: $2.77 Media Rate (1-2 pounds) + $.67 box/tape/packing + $.80 delivery confirmation = $4.25.

Buyer pays shipping/handling. Standard method within U.S. is Media Rate, $4.25. This includes delivery confirmation which enables you to track shipping of your package online. Outside U.S., e-mail location to determine S/H costs prior to auction end. Insurance / other methods of shipping cost extra. Payment received within ten days of auction ending. Payment via Paypal preferred.

Thanks for stopping by and good luck with the bidding!
