Description

This is one of a number of vinyl albums and EPs -- some new and still-sealed, some rare -- that I am listing for auction.

This item is a beautiful 180g vinyl LP pressing of the album entitled Their Satanic Majesties Request, originally released in 1967. The Stones were everything that the Beatles – at least as part and parcel of their early, squeaky-clean images of the early 60s – were not: they were angry, menacing, scruffy, overtly sexual and earthy. But they were also, in a word, great. This album, as was evident by the original gatefold cover and packaging theme, was the Stones’ answer to the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper album, with the set-psychedelic-in-crazy costumes cover photo. This cover is not holographic like the original, but rather is a shiny reflective foil and a gate-fold (unlike some other re-issues). It is very difficult to properly photograph this album, but it is very, very nice. This particular album is an ABKCO Records release from 2003, featuring DSD and SBM Sound. This pressing features the original UK cover art and tracklist – which differs from the US version -- and is re-mastered. ABKCO did a very nice job on these re-issues, and the sound quality is quite improved.

As noted above, this pressing is in new, still-sealed and mint condition, as shown in the photo.

NOTE: Sealed items are collectible because they are sealed. Since I do not own a store, I cannot return items to the manufacturer. Once opened, I cannot refund the purchase price in full because opening significantly affects its value.

I do not use stock photos. The photo shows the actual item up for auction.

NOTE: Due to the present rules under Paypal, I can now ship internationally ONLY VIA PRIORITY MAIL. If you are outside the US, Priority International is the standard shipping, due to the fact that under Paypal rules, delivery tracking must be included on EVERY package outside the US. The cost depends upon the weight and the country of destination. I will provide the cost for each option in my post-auction invoice (and, again, I can provide the info during the auction, if you e-mail me your zip code and the number of records). To Canada, it will be $21.50USD for one LP. To most other countries, it will be about $29.50USD for one LP. I recognize that this will result in much higher shipping costs and I apologize for this change, but it is necessary under the Paypal rules now in effect. If you have any questions about this policy, please send me an e-mail via My eBay. If you do not accept this shipping requirement, please do not bid.

I am not a dealer, and all of the items I place up for auction are from my personal collection gathered over the past forty years (education expenses – and soon-to-be college expenses -- are the reason I am selling my collection...).

The shipping costs are as follows: $4.00 for one LP via media mail to anywhere in the U.S. Each additional LP is an additional $0.40 for media mail shipping. Priority shipping within the U.S. is a function of weight and postal zone, and I will e-mail an invoice indicating the cost of priority (I can also provide this info while the auction is pending, if you e-mail me your zip code and the number of LPs).

Insurance through the USPS is available, and once again my invoice will provide the cost information.

NOTE – there is no tracking of packages through the USPS without delivery confirmation. If you would like tracking ability, you must purchase delivery confirmation for $0.75.

International Buyers – Please Note:

· Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

· Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

· These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.

· We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.

I will always combine items, so that your shipping costs will be more manageable. Payment may be made by paypal. If I do not receive payment for an item within fifteen (15) days of the end of the auction and I do not hear from you in response to e-mails, I will consider the auction results void and relist the item(s) for auction.

Should you have any questions at all about postage or about any item in particular, please do not hesitate to contact me through My Messages in eBay.
