Description

Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Stunning Original 1963 Philles First Pressing - High-Grade Audio Up for auction is a beautiful original mono copy of "Today's Hits" (LP-4004). This features the first-issue light blue Philles label with the "Phil Spector Productions" credit. Finding these early Spector pressings in this kind of clean condition is incredibly difficult. Condition Report:

  • Vinyl  Extremely clean and glossy. Appears to have been played only a handful of times with total care. No visible scratches or scuffs. High-quality audio playback.
  • Labels: Perfect blue labels with no spindle marks or wear.
  • Cover: The jacket is bright and structurally strong with a solid spine. Please note there is some minor paper loss/surface damage on the back bottom-right corner (see photos). Aside from this localized flaw, the cover is very nice and presents well.

Shipping: Professional handling. The record will be removed from the jacket and placed in a new poly sleeve to prevent seam splits during transit. Shipped in a reinforced record mailer.
Domestic Shipping is $7.00 by Media Postal Service. First class postal service delivery time depends on distance (usually less than a week).  Please message me after the auction, if you prefer Priority Mail, which offers delivery in two to three days. Priority rates vary according to the destination.

Shipping to EUROPE, ASIA, AND AUSTRALIA via FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIR MAIL is $35 (Sorry that the USPS increased their rates this year!) Delivery time is usually one to two weeks, depending on foreign customs, and each destination. Registered mail is required for any interantional shipments with a value over $100 for buyer and seller protection on Ebay and Paypal. Registered mail costs an additional $12.00 above normal shipping costs.  Packages with four or more records sent to international destinations require Priority Mail due to the weight of the package. USPS charges by weight. Any package over two pounds goes to $34.50, over three pounds to $49.50, and over four pounds to higher rates.

                                             First class international mail service can not track the item after it leaves the United States.

International customers who want insurance and/or tracking must use either registered or global express mail service. (These services are not available with first class postal international mail service.) Registered mail takes a week longer, due to security handling. International registered mail services for one record costs $19.00. Global Express Mail costs approximately $40.00. If the amount is less, I will refund you the difference. After winning a record, please notify me, if you desire these services. I can send you an amended Ebay invoice, with the desired shipping services.

Please submit payment within 7 days of auction ending, or a non-paying bidder alert will be issued and/or relisting of the item may result. Please communicate with me, if there is a delay in payment.

I usually ship within 24 hours of receipt of payment, except for weekends or postal holidays.

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS PLEASE READ! Once a package leaves the US, only the postal service has control over handling or delivery time. Most international shipments are arriving in a week/ 

So far, all my shipments have arrived safely. The customer has the option to select insurance for absolute security.

There is a complete audio stream of at least one side of each record on the listing page. Occasionally the audio stream "times out" overseas, limiting the sound, to a brief "clip". If this happens, please email or message me, and I will try to make a correction. Here is my grading system:

NM- = record appears mostly new and uplayed

EX or VG++ = record looks great, may be a few light paper scuffs, plays like new.

VG+ = fairly nice copy, may be a few light marks, occasional tick or pop, but mostly clean sound.

VG = wear, scuffing, light scratches, ticks and pops, but a very playable copy.

VG- many scuffs or groove wear, plays with some noise, but still listenable.

G+ = a playable copy but very very worn, plays with lots of noise

G through G- = wall hanger
