Description

This is a  rare 1978 promotional test pressing of the self titled first album by The Cars, pressed only in house by Nautilus Recordings for consideration for release under their Super Disc Series, which LP was ultimately released in limited edition run to the public. This LP was pressed on virgin vinyl as light passes through the vinyl surface when held up to the light. This was an amazing LP that produced no fewer than 5 hit songs: Good Times Roll, My Best Friend's Girl, Just What I Needed, Your All I've Got Tonight, and Bye Bye Love. Needless to say this is super rare particularly how clean it is.

The LP visually is in near mint condition. The LP plays very nice and quietly The cover which is a pre release generic mostly white cover that only identifies the group name and the preliminary catalogue number is in very good plus condition. All corners are reasonably sharp with minor wear evident on the tips of the corners but top two corners are slightly crimped . The seams and spine are strong with minor rub wear evident. The front and back over cover are clean but do show minor wear and  a few creases. In grading I use Excellent instead of VG++ for those items deemed just a notch below near mint. Please understand that opened play graded copies may have been graded several weeks before listing so the LP should be cleaned again before play. LPs are cleaned manually as I no longer have machine 

The LP will be shipped within 24 hours of payment, which is expected within 3 days of auction end, in specially made LP mailer with the LP separated from the cover (for unsealed items) and well packaged to protect the item from damage during shipment. Returns are accepted as long as LP is returned in the condition received. Sealed items will only be permitted if returned unopened. 

Shipping cost is $4 per LP. To reduce shipping cost, I will combine shipping on multiple items bid and won during the same auction cycle. Please do not pay until I have had the opportunity to manually adjust the shipping cost. I cannot hold items for multiple auction cycles as it will affect my EBAY standing in so far as it concerns shipment time. I only accept bids from US based buyers and will only ship to the address recorded for the buyer on PAYPAL, which is the only method I can accept for payment.

Please keep in mind that I am a retired person looking to sell their collection and not a store or commercial seller. I play grade open items sold and do the best I can in the process to give an honest assessment of the item As is shown by my feedback I think I do a good job of satisfying most buyers. I leave feedback for all buyers and if you are satisfied with the transaction I would greatly appreciate positive feedback from the buyer as well. If for any reason you cannot leave positive feedback or are not satisfied, please have the courtesy of contacting me before leaving negative or neutral feedback. In almost all cases the issue can be worked out to the buyers satisfaction even if it means returning the item. If the item is not as described I will bear all shipping costs including return shipping. If a buyer behaves in a rude or unreasonable manner, and/ or fails to contact me to address issues they have with an item before negative or neutral feedback is left, I will block that buyer from further auction participation. 

I am auctioning almost 5000 records of my own collection, including rock. soul, blues and jazz, that are very clean and, included are some very rare items that rarely are available for purchase
