Hook: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Sony Records LP 1992 - Korea VG+/VG++

$

40

For sale as a special rarity is the Korean version of "Hook: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack."  Composed and conducted by John Williams for the Spielberg film, this album got approved for release by the South Korean government in June 1992.  Compared with the Holland (Europe) version, it is abridged by two tracks to attempt to fit the material over just one LP.  Although the movie received mixed reviews, this is pleasant and often charming fare from one of the world's best movie scorers, hands down.
I rate the record VG+.  It has a nice gloss and looks like its been handled sparingly, but also has a handful of small hairline marks upon close inspection that do show up as routine background noise.  Occasional clicks can be heard on the first part of side 2 ("Smee's Plan" and "The Banquet") that do detract a bit.  I recommend this album for more casual listening over stereo speakers, as opposed to close listening through headphones as a consequence of the above.  Still a very nice copy - just imperfect.  The jacket looks nearly new and has a very light corner bend at the base of the spine, otherwise appearing pristine.  The original Korean outerbag and descriptive (Korean) insert are included.  Happy bidding on this and my other rarities on vinyl!

"Quality items at reasonable prices from an eccentric merchant!"

As a math teacher and long-time record buyer with a definite passion for both vocations, I am excited to continue to make available LPs I have collected over the last sixteen years but now need to winnow from my shelves.  The items I will be posting include quite a range of genres and interests – soundtracks, specialty records, and albums ranging from the typical mainstream to the unexpectedly weird.  Check back often to see what surprises I’ve got in store! 

Please note my conditions of sale:

-I use Goldmine standards to rate my albums, and I seek to do so conservatively.  Items will often receive both a visual check and a playgrade, so that I can review the material one last time and also listen for any differences between audible quality and my visual perception of an album's surface.  If there are any potential flaws in an item, I will make sure you know about those upfront.  As a rule, I will not attempt to sell records that rate below VG for the total package (unless the item in question is rare or hard to come by).  Because I deal largely in used stock and will be thorough in explaining an item's condition, please note that all sales are "as is" and final – returns are not accepted.

-I ship through USPS services to destinations in the U.S. only. All records will be packed sturdily with quality outer cardboard, with records and innersleeves removed from jackets to avoid seam splits on used items.  Because of the demands of my work schedule, shipments typically go out twice a week, by Wednesday (for albums paid for during the previous weekend) and by Saturday (for all later payments).  Whenever possible, I crank out shipments faster than this, so rest assured you'll get your order quickly.

-I will accept payments for items through PayPal only. If you win one or more of my auctions, please make sure items are paid for within 7 days of the listing's end.  Please note that I open failure-to-pay cases against those who do not pay or make any attempt to communicate with me within my stated timeframe.  Please do not bid or commit to buy if you don't intend to follow through with a payment.

-Shipping will be at cost to the buyer, through Media Mail.  I charge a starting fee of $3.09 for one album, then 50 cents per each additional LP in your order. 

-I will always be willing to combine shipping on multiple wins/purchases.  Just make sure to request an invoice prior to completing your purchase.

-The bottom line: I will make every attempt to insure your satisfaction as my customer.  Let me know of any problems prior to posting negative or neutral feedback, as this will help me to refine my services and better serve my fellow record collectors out there.  Enjoy!
