Description

Selling my record collection. I bought all these albums personally and have tried my best to care for them for many years.

Notes on pricing:
Here is a sort of breakdown on pricing...The highest-value item (conservative values determined from Discogs web site) is for the NM Electronic Sound. This record is lost in the main photograph; it's in the middle if you look closely. Price is $35 and up ($50 or so). Dark Horse, Extra Texture and Blast From Your Past are each about $15. Goodnight Vienna and Gone Troppo are around $12. Best Of G.H., Material World and Cloud Nine are each $10. George Harrison, 33 & 1/3, Somewhere In England & Ringo are all $8 or less (amazingly).
The other 3 items are more difficult to price. Both sets All Things Must Pass and The Concert For Bangladesh suffered water damage in the distant past (see photos). In preparation for this listing, I listened to all sides and I cannot see or hear any effect it may have had on the discs...they play fine. The boxes have suffered, but discs are great. Additionally, there's a bonus disc which is not really included in the pricing, but has some great value.
Notes on condition:
The NM records are in outstanding condition. Particularly nice is Ringo's Goodnight Vienna, which is an EMI/Parlophone disc that I bought in Tokyo in 1994. It is pristine. The Ringo album has been played sparingly and disc & sleeve & booklet are excellent. All VG+ records sound great and could be NM, but I like to stay conservative with grading. There are no discs listed in this set that are less than superb - I listened to them all in preparation for this listing.
Unfortunately for the ATMP & Bangladesh sets, there is the water damage and you can pretty much see it all in the photos - I tried to highlight it as best I could. Again, the discs play fine, and for some reason, the 3 lyrics sleeves from All Things Must Pass were spared - no damage and in great shape. However, the booklet and sleeves for the Bangladesh set have some damage. ATMP box has pretty significant damage on the inside, but functions fine.
One final note is a bonus 2-record set not listed in this description, but you can see it in the main photo in the lower right. It is Beatles - Four Sides and each side has versions of songs from one Beatle. I was excited to price this one, but when I put the needle down, it would just slide across uncontrollably. So, the first half of each side of record 1 (John, Paul) are not playable due to weird manufacturing defects. On record #2, the Ringo side skips and slides in 3 places. However, the George side plays normally and sounds really good. It includes these songs (which I didn't know about before):
Flying Hour, Lay His Head, Sat Singing, and Tears Of The World. So that's the bonus - the first 3 tracks are really great songs, the 4th is good and they play nicely. I don't know if it's OK to sell this album on eBay, so I'm including it quietly as a freebie - if the entire album were in decent shape, I'd sell it on another site.
Any and all questions are welcome & MP3 samples of any of this set can be made available upon request.
