ROLLING STONES - SOME GIRLS WITHDRAWN COVER S/S LP MINT

$

25

This is one of a series of LPs and EPs -- some sealed, some quite rare -- that I will be listing over the next several weeks and months.  

This item is a rare and collectible LP from the Rolling Stones.  It is a still-sealed and mint pressing of the legendary Some Girls LP, released in 1978 on Rolling Stones Records.  This is my favorite Stones album of all-time, and to my way of thinking really defines the band from start to finish.  This one has an interesting story to go along with it.  It features a generic wig ad from the 50’s – 60’s, with the song titles added in, and die-cut openings to show the printed inner sleeve.  On the original pressing, the inner sleeve contained the photos of a number of popular entertainment icons – Lucille Ball, Farrah Fawcett, Marilyn Monroe, Racquel Welch, Judy Garland, Liza Minelli and others – as well as hand-tinted doctored photos of the band members.  But, somehow – and it is very hard to believe it was merely an oversight – the band had not obtained licenses from these various people and estates to use the photos.  A legal uproar ensued, and all of the subsequent pressings came out with a “Cover Under Reconstruction” inner sleeve with the photos deleted.  This particular pressing is in beautiful, sealed mint condition, complete with the Miss You promo sticker.  I am by nature a conservative grader, but I can say that you CANNOT FIND a nicer pressing of this album – period.  It is ABSOLUTELY MINT. 

The photo shows the actual album up for auction.

I do not use stock photos.  The photo shows the actual item up for auction.

I am not a dealer, and all of the items I place up for auction are from my personal collection gathered over the past forty years (education expenses – and soon-to-be college expenses -- are the reason I am selling my collection...). 

Shipping and handling is determined by weight and is per record, not per title.  The shipping costs are as follows: $4.00 for one record via media mail to anywhere in the U.S.   Each additional record is an additional $0.40 for media mail shipping.  Priority shipping within the U.S. is a function of weight and postal zone, and I will e-mail an invoice indicating the cost of priority (I can also provide this info while the auction is pending, if you e-mail me your zip code and the number of records). 

Insurance through the USPS is available, and once again my invoice will provide the cost information. 

NOTE – there is no tracking of packages through the USPS without delivery confirmation.  If you would like tracking ability, you must purchase delivery confirmation for $0.75. 

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.

·         These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.

·         We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.

NOTE:  Due to recent circumstances, I can now ship internationally ONLY VIA PRIORITY MAIL.  If you are outside the US, Priority International is the standard shipping, due to the fact that under Paypal rules, tracking must be included on EVERY package outside the US.  The cost depends upon the weight and the country of destination.  I will provide the cost for each option in my post-auction invoice (and, again, I can provide the info during the auction, if you e-mail me your zip code and the number of records).  To Canada, it will be $20.50USD for one record.  To most other countries, it will be about $28.00USD for one record.  I recognize that this will result in much higher shipping costs and I apologize for this change, but it is necessary under the Paypal rules now in effect.

I will always combine items, so that your shipping costs will be more manageable.  Payment must be made by paypal as per recent rules imposed by eBay.  If I do not receive payment for an item within fifteen (15) days of the end of the auction andr I do not hear from you in response to e-mails, I will consider the auction results void and relist the item(s) for auction.
