Description
This is a very rare audiophile Japanese copy of Creedence Clearwater Revival, Cosmos Factory, pressed and released only in Japan in 1978 by Victor Musical Industries (also known as Japanese Victor Company-JVC), the same entity that produced the MFSL record series. This LP released only in Japan was produced by JVC in 1978, two years before the MFSL copy of this same LP was released in the US. That LP sells for close to $100 if you can find it. Both the OBI and Japanese/English lyric sheet are present. These early JVC pressing are rarely available on US Ebay in a beautiful condition as the one I am selling, usually being sold mostly from Japan at much higher cost. exclusive of shipping which is very expensive. The LP is pressed on virgin vinyl, which is translucent, allowing light to pass through playing surface.
The LP visually is in excellent condition with the only defect being a barely visible scuff. The LP plays very nice and quietly with excellent fidelity as would be expected from a JVC/MFSL pressing. The cover is in very good plus condition. All corners are reasonably sharp with a trace of wear evident on the tips of all corners except top spine corner.. The back and front covers are very clean with little or no ring wear. . The spine and both seams are solid with no splits but some rub wear of about one inch on top seam near the spine . In grading I use Excellent instead of VG++ for those items deemed just a notch below near mint. Please understand that opened play graded copies may have been graded several weeks before listing so the LP should be cleaned again before play. LPs are cleaned manually as I no longer have machine.
The LP will be shipped within 24 hours of payment, which is expected within 3 days of auction end, in specially made LP mailer with the LP separated from the cover (for unsealed items) and well packaged to protect the item from damage during shipment. Returns are accepted as long as LP is returned in the condition received. Return of sealed items will only be permitted if returned unopened.
Shipping cost is $4 per LP. To reduce shipping cost, I will combine shipping on multiple items bid and won during the same auction cycle. Please do not pay until I have had the opportunity to manually adjust the shipping cost. I cannot hold items for multiple auction cycles as it will affect my EBAY standing in so far as it concerns shipment time. I only accept bids from US based buyers and will only ship to the address recorded for the buyer on PAYPAL, which is the only method I can accept for payment.
Please keep in mind that I am a person looking to sell their collection and not a store or commercial seller. I play grade open items sold and do the best I can in the process to give an honest assessment of the item As is shown by my feedback I think I do a good job of satisfying most buyers. I leave feedback for all buyers and if you are satisfied with the transaction I would greatly appreciate positive feedback from the buyer as well. If for any reason you cannot leave positive feedback or are not satisfied, please have the courtesy of contacting me before leaving negative or neutral feedback. In almost all cases the issue can be worked out to the buyers satisfaction even if it means returning the item. If the item is not as described I will bear all shipping costs including return shipping. If a buyer behaves in a rude or unreasonable manner, and/ or fails to contact me to address issues they have with an item before negative or neutral feedback is left, I will block that buyer from further auction participation.
I am auctioning almost 5000 records of my own collection, including rock. soul, blues and jazz, that are very clean and, included are some very rare items that rarely are available for purchase
