Velvet Revolver CONTRABAND - 2LP 180gm FIRST U.S. Vinyl edition, SEALED and MINT! Archival quality...I do not think you could improve upon the condition of this record. Now's your chance to get this LONG out of print rarity at a fair market price!
IMPORTANT: The LP is sealed and mint. I purchased this record sometime around the date of release, and the album came in a mylar sealable flap (commonly used for Japanese LPs). With the LP in hand, I believe you will see that the sealed flap has NOT been opened or disturbed (I have found that once you unpeel those flaps they never quite adhere the same as when they were sealed). Here's the bottom line: If you have ANY concerns that I'm selling a previously opened or used LP, please don't bid on this item. I have no interest in ripping anybody off or misleading the buyer as to the true condition of the record, and I hope the comments in my feedback support the fact that buyers are 100% satisfied and confident that they received their LPs as advertised. 
By the way, I HATE those resealable flaps. They look great (the mylar presents a much slicker appearance than shrink wrap, or the loose outer bags found on audiophile reissues), but it is CRAZY to have ANY adhesive near an album cover. 

NOTE: The outer shrink wrap tends to reflect the image of the overhead ceiling fixture. If you see a round white/blue circle on the cover, that is the reflection. 

ABOUT SHIPPING AND HANDLING: Please note there is a $3 fee included in Ebay's estimate of Media Mail shipping costs. I believe the best way to way to ship an LP includes a 13"x14"x3" "pizza" style box, 12"x12" cardboard flats, outer shopping bag, and bubble wrap. The shipping boxes alone cost me over $3 each, and the average total cost of shipping materials is around $4.72, so this is NOT a money-maker for me. However, it does ensure, consistently, that these high value LPs arrive safely. Please check my feedback and I think you'll see that buyers appreciate the care with which these precious artifacts are handled. 

COMBINED SHIPPING: I am more than happy to combine shipping. Ebay buyers pay the actual postage costs. If a single LP is purchased, the buyer pays actual postage and $3 for shipping materials. If two LPs are purchased, the buyer pays actual postage and $3 for shipping materials. If three or more LPs are purchased, the buyer pays actual postage and $0 for shipping materials (I will absorb the cost of materials). As the final amount can only be calculated after auctions have ended, I will issue the appropriate refund on the day the LPs are shipped. 

About Me: I'm a long time Ebay buyer intent on selling a significant portion of my LP collection over the next year or two (or three!). I believe in the auction process, so I'm NOT going to list records at absurdly high prices, and I look forward to getting rare, out of print records into the hands of music lovers, record collectors and audiophiles (I consider myself all of the above). All LPS stored in a smoke-free, climate controlled environment. 

Please check my feedback and BID WITH CONFIDENCE. Also, please take a look at other items I'm listing (new items will be listed on Sunday and Wednesday nights), and good luck! 

PayPal Payments Only. Payment required within 3 days after the end of auction. All records will ship USPS Media Mail.
