Taking Off Original Sound Track Album

Rare Original 1971 US Pressing of the soundtrack for this early 70s cult flick!

STILL NOT ON CD - ISSUED EXCLUSIVELY ON VINYL (AND NEVER REISSUED AFTER '71)!

CONDITION OF THE ALBUM:

I grade the disc as Near Mint (NM).

Each side is STUNNINGLY GLOSSY! In my experience Decca vinyl often wore easily, but this is without a question one of the most immaculate discs to bear the Decca colorband label (or ANY label, really) that I have ever seen!

I see only three ultra-faint spindle marks on the Side 1 label and two ultra-faint spindle marks on the Side 2 label. They are so faint and few in number that they don't even show in my photos! I bet this thing was played once!

I grade the jacket as Near Mint (NM).

The jacket is still in its original shrink wrap, and it has in turn been beautifully preserved for 40+ years!

The front side is virtually perfect, while the back side shows only some very minor age toning near the opening. The spine and both seams are free of any wear, and I see no creases of any size!

The jacket will be placed in a protective plastic outer sleeve. 

The original Decca company inner sleeve is included.

The disc will be placed in a new replacement inner sleeve to prevent damage to this original inner sleeve while in transit.

Although I selected the "No Returns Accepted" policy for this listing, please note that this is not correct, and that this item can be returned. However, the return process must be initiated within three calendar days of the delivery of your item (all shipments are tracked, and so I can see the exact minute that your item was delivered). You must pay the return shipping. Once I receive your returned package and verify that it is A) the same item which I shipped to you and B) in the same condition as I shipped it out, then I will refund your initial purchase price plus what you initially paid to have it shipped. Return shipping will not be refunded. In the event that you attempt to scam me and send an item of lesser value in place of the item originally transacted for, you will receive no refund whatsoever. In the event you mishandle or fail to properly pack the item (I will provide specific packaging instructions), and it is damaged either in your hands or in transit, the adjusted value of this now lesser-condition item will be reflected in your refund - after all, it is now worth less!

The reason that I have not selected one of eBay's cookie-cutter return policies is that the smallest window of time over which I can choose to accept returns is a whopping 14 days, and there is no way in hell it should take you two weeks to figure out whether or not the item you purchased matches the description I provided. I am more than willing to assume responsibility in the event that I have failed to correctly describe an item or package it safely, but I also want to avoid holding a payment in PayPal for weeks after the initial sale, only to have a buyer finally get around to opening the package and filing a complaint on the 14th day of this unnecessarily long grace period. I make sure to get your package out as quickly as possible, and it's only fair that you confirm everything is okay on your end in a timely manner as well. I don't want to have to wait around for two weeks after I see a package has been delivered yet no feedback has been left, wondering if I'm going to be hit with a complaint. Frankly it is in both of our best interests if you check your packages as soon as possible - after all, you'll be refunded much quicker!

Lastly, I will never except the return of an album which was sold and shipped sealed, and then opened by the buyer - even if the disc inside was presumed to be Mint and, by some stroke of rare bad luck, turned out to be in lesser condition. I have no reason to expect a sealed disc to be anything less than Mint, but there are exceptions to every norm, and this is something you should consider. However, in the event you purchase a sealed album from me and are able to discern without opening it that it is not factory-sealed, but was actually re-sealed by a third party, then please contact me and state your case!

If you find these terms unreasonable, then don't buy!

All records are shipped in genuine cardboard record mailers. The disc will be placed in a new liner and packaged outside the jacket (but within the plastic outer sleeve) so as to prevent splits. Original liners (if included) will be kept inside the jackets, as will any inserts. The album will be surrounded by three sheets of 12” by 12” bubble wrap (two sheets over the disc). Shipping info is always typed up and printed out – we don’t take chances with shoddy, hand-written addresses! The box will be sealed with and the address sheet will be affixed by lots of Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Tape.

All payments must be made by PayPal. You may pay by debit, credit, or e-check, but must use the PayPal website to do so.

Payment must be made within 48 hours of purchase/auction’s end. 

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.

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
