Description

Up for sale is the mega rare The Mars Volta LP: Frances The Mute. This is their second best album to date after De-Loused... (which I also have for sale!) and is just a wonderful album that you just need in your collection. Even visually this is so stunning, hard cardboard, deluxe triple gatefold cover, printed inner sleeves with lyrics and pictures, 3 vinyls and one side has an amazing etching. Seriously, don't miss out.
I grade very conservatively and under a strong light to avoid any dissapointments. NM is my highest grade for not sealed items and if the record is NM it is unplayed. If it has seen a couple plays its EX (I also use + and - grades). VG+ will have marks but nothing major that affects much. Records worse than that I just don't have for sale unless it's an exceptionally rare. In a nut shell: you can trust my listings.

Cover: EX(-). Just some very minimal wear to corners as usual to a record few years old, a very slight creasing on top left corner shown on the photo #2, slight storage wear shown on picture #6. Printed inners also some minimal wear. Really nice shape.
Records: EX- or VG+. Not played much, In a very close inspection records show a few very light hairlines under a bright light that are caused from sleeve removal, no audio impact, plays superb. Marks might have been there from new. Ecthing is in beautiful condition. You will be satisfied and please note I tend to rate valuable records a bit lower than they actually are...
Low starting price, no reserve so you know what to do. Check out my other items as well for more rare releases, I will be listing more items in the next coming days. I ALSO HAVE DE-LOUSED IN THE COMATORIUM FOR SALE !

Shipping costs (PLEASE NOTE IT IS NOT 4 GBP TO UK):
Shipping is quite expensive since this is a very heavy set.

EUROPE: 10.95 GBP (Economy, untrackable, takes 8-10 days, airmail and trackable delivery also available)
REST OF THE WORLD: 14.95 GBP (economy, untrackable, takes 8-20 days depending on location, airmail and trackable delivery also available)
Sorry for the high price of shipping, but it's only the actual costs. I only charge actual shipping costs, so you're not paying any stupid extra costs like I see some ebayers charging for the trouble to walk to the post office... I use the same mailers in which I receive records myself so it's very ecological/environmental friendly and it doesn't cost me any extra.

I pack my records with great care using cardboard stiffeners and don't put record inside the cover during transit so you can trust your item will arrive safely. Please note I can't be held responsible for items gone lost during shipping if they are not trackable but this is very rare to happen anyways and not never happened to me but I need to mention this.

Please have a look at my other great auctions as well that I'm going to put on in the next few days.
