LED ZEPPELIN - EARLY DAYS (2 LPs) AND LATTER DAYS (2 LPS) COMBO - EXC w/ INSERTS

$

90

Well, I’m back.  I took about a year off for a variety of reasons, including aggravation at a particularly unfair negative feedback regarding a Pink Floyd album I sold.  But I am now getting back into it and so, slowly but surely, I will be building up the listed records week by week. 

This item is a combination of the rare domestic US pressings of the 2-LP vinyl pressing of Early Days, and of the 2-LP vinyl pressing of Latter Days, by the legendary Led Zeppelin.  These albums were released in 1999 on Atlantic Records.  The first release features thirteen of the early Zeppelin classics, as well as two 2-sided 12”x12” sheets with a discography and great photos. The second features ten of the later Zeppelin classics, as well as two 2-sided 12”x12” sheets with a discography and great photos.  Given the very few vinyl pressings of these albums were released, making these records an essential to any Led Zeppelin collection.  The covers show only mild wear but no rips, tears and/or splits.  The vinyl shows superficial marks in a few places, but none of them will materially affect play.  This is an excellent opportunity to obtain both ends of these extremely rare vinyl releases.

The vinyl is in VG+ to excellent condition, as noted above.  The covers are in excellent condition, as described above and as shown in the photo.

Postage within the US is set at $4.00 per package, up to 10 LPs.  Therefore, if you buy one record, 2 records or 10 records, the shipping is $4.00.  From 10-20 records the cost will be $10.00.  I can fit up to about 20 records into my larger shipping box.

I do not use stock photos.  The photos show the actual items up for auction.  Note that grading is visual, as I do not have the time nor the energy to play grade every album.

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

NOTE TO ALL BUYERS OUTSIDE OF THE US:  Pursuant to Paypal Seller Protection Policy sections 11.3 and 11.4, EVERY item paid for by Paypal MUST be sent via PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL MAIL.  PLEASE NOTE THAT BIDDING ON THIS ITEM IS ACCEPTANCE OF THIS REQUIREMENT.  In addition, the USPS has recently increased their rates yet again.  If you need the cost of postage for any item, please send me a message through My eBay, or go to the Postal Service’s website.  Multi-album LP sets weigh more and, consequently cost more.  I will always combine postage, since combining multiple albums saves money. 

If you have any questions about shipping costs, please contact me BEFORE YOU BID. 

I fully recognize that this results in very high shipping costs, but it is of no benefit to me because the money is paid to the USPS for postage.  If you think this policy is unfair, contact Paypal -- I'm only following their Seller Protection Rules.  The fact that other sellers may send items by First Class International -- and put themselves at risk for claims -- is immaterial.  If you have any questions about my shipping policy or costs, please send me an e-mail via My eBay. 

I am not a dealer, and all of the items I place up for auction are from my personal collection gathered over the past 45-plus years.  I am selling my collection little by little, to pay for college expenses for my two kids, in my spare time.  Shipping within the US is $4.00 per package, via media mail, regardless of the number of records up to 10.  Thereafter, the cost will be $10.00 up to 20 records.  If you want Priority shipping within the U.S., the cost is a function of weight and postal zone.  Send me a note at the conclusion of the auction, and I will send 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 send me a note requesting that insurance be included in the invoice

PLEASE NOTE: Media mail does not have tracking.  The USPS offers delivery confirmation with online tracking.  If you want online tracking with delivery confirmation, please let me know and I will send an invoice including the cost for delivery confirmation, which is currently $1.05.  

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.

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

Payment must be made by paypal.  If you have questions regarding the mode of payment, please contact me.  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 re-list the item(s) for auction.  

Should you have any questions at all about postage, the payment method or for details about any item in particular, please do not hesitate to contact me.
