This is the FIRST PRESSING of The Avalanches 2001 wonderment: Since I Left You, in fantastic dual LP gatefold form. It's exceedingly rare to find at all (most of what you will ever see are the reproductions in later years. This was an XL / Modular (production ID:  XLLP 138) production release in the UK, and I bought it brand new back around 2002, and just recorded it digitally.  So it's been played once, maybe twice. 
9/4 NOTE:  I just played this all the way through, to make sure there were no fidelity issues with this set.  They're in cherry shape, and I found no sound quality issues whatsoever.  That said, if you know this album, then you know The Avalanches put certain "phonic personality" into their production, and if you aren't familiar with that fact, you might be prone to think it's the record itself.  It's not the record, and it's done on purpose.  Even the digital version has those pops and crackles.  But if you're reading this, then you probably already know, and I'm just being pedantic.  I just don't want anyone to be confused, that's all.  
Important note about who I am and my feelings about my records:  Please keep in mind that I am an avid record listener/collector, and not a record dealer.  I am pulling these prized possessions off of my large custom-made record shelf in my living room and packaging them up to ship once they're paid for.  I have listened to ALL of my records at least once (unless they're sealed, of course), so if you find any fidelity issues (crackles, pops, etc) that you feel aren't acceptable, then we simply have a difference of opinion which won't be resolved by anything I can do (I am an adamant collector who understands the pitfalls of listening to vintage vinyl, and I feel that my taste in sound quality is just as good as anyone else's), and I won't be interested in buying the vinyl back at my loss.  That said, when I say a record is in good condition, it's the opinion of a long-time collector who knows what conditions are supposed to be like for any given record (depending on the age, print house, and original pressing quality).  I am a very careful collector who has always kept dust jackets on each record cover, and I keep all of my vinyl in my living room, well away from any possible sunlight, and at a perfect 70 degrees Fahrenheit (+/- 5 degrees). This is part of my collection that I am selling in order to fit our stuff in a smaller place. I hate selling any records, as it's like I'm parting with family, but I am doing what needs to be done. Again, just so there is no mistake: I am not a dealer, I am a dude who has been collecting records for 30 years and can no longer keep all of them. My loss, your gain, and such. Hopefully your home will be a good one! If you win multiple auctions within a week of winning the first one (I won't hold things forever of course), I will package and send them together. $6 for the first record and, 50 cents per record after that. Double LPs count as two records (it's a weight thing). Bid away!
