G. HARRISON ALL THINGS MUST PASS RARE ORIG US 1970 M- APPLE TRIPLE LP-HOLLYWOOD

$

70

This is a very rare and clean original first edition of the iconic second solo album by George Harrison, All Things Must Pass, a triple album box set released in 1970 by Apple Records. This set was pressed by Capitol Records at their manufacturing facility in Hollywood, CA. The pressing plant location is indicated by a sunburst or asterisk like symbol imprinted in the dead wax near the label on all six album sides. Included are the original color inner sleeves on which for the first two albums are printed the songs lyrics for those four sides. The original sleeve for the album of instrumental jams is also included. There are very slight splits of about an inch or less on the bottom of sleeves. The records are no longer stored in the original inner sleeves. The large sized poster that was issued with set is not present

The LPS visually are in near mint condition and play very cleanly. The box set covers are in very good plus condition. All corners on cover top and bottom are clean, sharp and intact with no splits. The two boxes as issued were bound together by piece of tape on the side where the album printing is located but it was broken. All four box sides of the top and bottom boxes on all four sides are clean and intact with no splits. The front of the top cover is clean with some damage near top left corner of cover. The bottom back cover is very clean with just slight wear. The inside of the top and bottom of boxes are clean. In grading I use Excellent instead of VG++ for those items deemed just a notch below near mint.

The LP set will be shipped via media mail within 24 hours of payment which is expected within 3 days at a cost of $4. While I ordinarily separate the album from the sleeve to prevent damage to cover, in this instance to ship the records and box separated would likely cause damage to box. The box with albums inside will be shipped in a tight plastic outer sleeve to prevent shifting movement and will be shipped in a larger over sized record mailer, with the box set wrapped in several layers of bubble wrap. This should provide ample cushioning to protect the set. While I ordinarily combine shipping on multiple auction items bid and won in the same auction to reduce cost, with this package that is simply not possible without doing damage to box set. Therefore, I cannot ship this set together in the same package with anything else. If another LP is won and purchased it must be paid for and shipped separately.

Please understand that play graded copies may have been graded several weeks before listing and may be available for sale for some time, so the LP must be cleaned again before play. LP's are cleaned manually as I no longer have machine, so matter may have settled in the grooves in the interim. Please do not claim LP is not as described if you play the LP without first cleaning the LP.

Returns are accepted with buyer paying return shipping cost as long as contact is made within 30 days after receipt of item and LP is returned in the condition received. Sealed items will only be permitted if returned unopened. Please note that I will not grant partial refunds.

I only accept bids from continental US based buyers and will only ship to an address within the continental US, recorded for the buyer on PAYPAL, which is the only method I can accept for payment. However, if a buyer registers on Ebay with an address that is not their residence but merely the address of an international freight forwarding commercial entity that then forwards the item outside the US, I will cancel that transaction and block the bidder from future auctions. I cannot and will not be responsible for damage that may be caused to an item because it is subject of international reshipment.

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. It does not take very long and is very important to me as seller. 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 also reserve the right to block any buyer that leaves negative or neutral feedback when I have done everything possible to put the buyer in a position as if the transaction had not taken place.

If a buyer requests LP return because it is claimed that an LP is not as described and on return it is found that LP is just as described, I will block that person from further auction participation. I felt I had to take this latest action as I have encountered few too many people who do not do their due diligence in cleaning the record before play, or are just plain dishonest. I will also report to eBay any buyer that returns an album at my expense where there is nothing wrong with album. If you want to return an album that you just do not want and there is nothing wrong with the LP, then unless you want to be blocked from future auctions, you must pay return postage, simple as that.

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
