_______________________________________________________________________
From an utterly vast and deep record collection, from my life-long best friend
who was a DJ at the Radio Station I co-founded in the 1970's - and who worked for me at my California record store in the '70s and '80s. . Sadly he has now left this mortal coil, bequeathing me his deep Vinyl Mine.
We had very similar tastes - so numerous prime duplicates are being listed.
Many PROMOS, IMPORTS and 1st PRESSINGS are included
.
Several thousand records (mostly LP's, but also hundreds of 45's), several hundred collectible and Rare, Out of Print CDs and Box Sets, plus posters and other memorabilia will all eventually be listed.

Truly a great (and enormous) collection! _______________________________________________________________________
You deserve and will receive FAST SHIPPING and CAREFUL, SECURE PACKING.

My LP packing is considered to be among the very best on eBay! All records packed (with vinyl inside inner sleeve, behind cover for open LPs) with bubble-wrap around all sides - sandwiched between stiff corrugated flats - and shipped in strong LP mailer boxes, for best protection in the mail.

COMBINED SHIPPING DISCOUNT available for items purchased together in same payment.
Simply put each item into the eBay CART, then make one single payment for all chosen items from my listings. ...otherwise eBay checkout cannot see your other combined items.

ALL OTHER COUNTRIES
*actually, I am now again allowing shipping to some other select countries
(I got stiffed big-time on some very expensive Prog/Psych LPs recently from a few bad apples in some European locations) - Man that really hurt! I am being especially careful now. eBay only allows blocking an entire country to exclude scary regions. (ie: I would be happy to ship to France EXCEPT for Isle de France (where almost all bogus 'NOT RECEIVED' cases come from) ... but sadly I have to block France entirely to avoid those scams.

***LOOK at the "SHIPS TO" section under the SHIPPING AND PAYMENTS tab near the top of this page.

...if Your country is NOT LISTED in the EXCLUDED Countries List there, then I can - and will ship to any and all honest buyers in all other countries that I know I can TRUST.  ...any questions, feel free to ask.

I have NEVER, in over 30 years here,ever had any trouble from Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Netherlands, Sweden, Taiwan, South Korea, or some others. I know this LP has international appeal, so again, check the EXCLUDED countries list. If yours is NOT on that list, I can ship to you.
As for the countries that are ON that excluded list ...well, some buyers in those countries simply ruined it for the rest.
My international shipping is at EXACT POSTAGE COST ONLY, you should see 2 rates to choose from. Any questions? shoot me a message - I always respond to any sane request.

CUSTOMS costs are the responsibility of the Buyer. I NO LONGER risk going to prison for putting false low values or pretending the package is a "gift". Please don't ask me for that. THANKS!
