****PLEASE NOTE -----------------------------------

PLEASE DO NOT PAY THROUGH PAYPAL BEFORE YOU RECEIVE YOUR INVOICE SHORTLY AFTER THE END OF THE AUCTION 

I must send you the invoice first with the correct amount for shipping -------------The $4.00 shipping rate quoted in the auction is the maximum allowable on ebay for one record. These auctions are all for more than 1 record.  The actual shipping cost is quoted below, after the item description, under   SHIPPING INFORMATION . (Under ebay policy, because I live in Canada,  I cannot use"calculated shipping" based on weight).

I am a Canadian vendor but I live a few minutes from the border and I mail all packages (except those bound for Canada) from the USA, in order to take advantage of the low media rate and low overseas mailing costs --- for my customers.

What we are selling

This a series of Lots: Multiple records by the same group or artist. In my experience many of the listings will sell for opening bid or close to it. That is OK by us. It is a clearance sale. Instant record collections from your favorite bands. The auctions are in two groups one ending a few minutes after the other. The first group is for Classic rock, listed alphabetically from Abba to ZZ top. The second is for 1980s rock, New Wave and Alternative, from A-Ha to U2 and Ultravox

Shipping Costs for USA Bound packages 

For American bidders shipping costs are nominal. You folks have the luxury of Media Rate shipping which is incredibly cheap. Most packages will be just a few dollars for shipping. Examples: $4 (1-3 records),  $5.50 (4-8 records), $6.50 (10-12 Records), $8.50 (20 records), $13.00 (40 records) and so on. These are ACTUAL costs for media rate and include .75 for tracking numbers. I do not attempt to make extra money by charging higher than actual costs for shipping.

See SHIPPING INFORMATION, below the item description, for shipping costs for Canada bound, Non Continental USA inc Alaska bound, plus Mexico and Overseas

Condition

The albums for all of the auctions, including this one, have been carefully chosen and examined. Overall, more than 90% of the vinyl is near mint in these auctions. Like New. Around 70% of the covers are as well. Virtually no covers have more than tiny imperfections such as a wisp of ring wear at the top. These wisps / or anything a little greater will be mentioned at the bottom of each listing before the detailed shipping information The Photographs should tell most of the story.

Photgraphs are of the actual items, not stock photos

Please Note

This auction tool forces me to quote condition as if it was only one item so I have selected Excellent for all of them even though there are some variances within each auction. It also forces me to quote duration and playing speed so I have selected LP length and 33 1/3 even though, again, there are variances within some auctions

• When High Infidelity hit the big time in 1980 the press talked a lot about “Hard working band finally makes good”. REO released a lot of albums before that and since they weren’t as big sellers, almost all of the early albums are now quite hard to find.

• This is every studio album they released from 1971 to 1984 save two (Lost in a Dream (1974) and Time We Mean It (1975) are the only ones missing here

• Also included, their double live LP You Get What You Play For

• Also their double Greatest hits up to You can Tune a Piano (A Decade of Rock and Roll)

• ALSO, most notably, their 1988 Greatest hits album (The Hits) is still factory sealed. By the late 1980s the LP was being fazed out. Late 1980s albums are always harder to find because they were releasing many more copies on CD and cassette than vinyl by that time. ...and this copy is still factory sealed !
