          THE MOVE             SHAZAM       A&M (U.S.) SP 4259
Up for auction is a NM (played a couple of times by me after opening about a couple of years back, bought sealed by me decades ago) original 1970 U.S. A&M (Monarch) pressing of the heavy and psychedelic 2nd long player from The Move, "Shazam". No Ace Kefford, but Trevor Burton somewhere in here (legend has it) and Carl Wayne abounds. The first side is all Roy Wood, the second side is all covers.    

DEAD WAX INFO:  Side 1 has A&M-SP4417-15 ?14615 ? and circled MR all etched into the dead wax. Side 2 has A&M-SP4417-15 ?14615-X ? and circled MR all etched into the dead wax. Original 1970 U.S. A&M pressing (Monarch), somewhat rare in this shape.   VINYL VISUAL: NM with one small press flaw Side 2 last track and that is about it.
VINYL PLAY GRADE: NM at best with AS NEW fidelity. Press flaw Side 2 makes 3 or 4 VERY LIGHT ticks just before last verse of Last Thing On My Mind.  
COVER VISUAL: VG+ and better with almost full shrink (there is a 4-inch square but irregular piece missing from front where a sticker was and it eventually came off when I opened this about 2 years ago. Small round red sticker front shrink and remains of another round sticker front left shrink. Some corner bumps. All around beauty! 
COMES WITH ORIGINAL BRANDED PAPER INNER (NM). VINYL IS HELD IN A DIE-CUT WHITE PAPER INNER WHICH I HAVE LINED WITH AN AUDIOPHILE STYLE RICE PLASTIC INNER. 
DETAILS ON SELLER AND SHIPPING 
HELLO ALL. My name is Jamie, and I have been collecting records steadily for over 45 years.  After a bit of a respite from selling on Ebay, I am back and will be selling a ton of stuff over the next few years. My tastes run all over the map, so there will be something for everyone. All opened items will be visually AND aurally graded. All Dead Wax info will be listed. Play grade is done on a Thorens TD 165 through Yamaha amplification and JBL reference headphones (treble set high so there will be no surprises when you get the item). 
ALL ITEMS WILL BE SHIPPED WITH PROPER MAILERS AND EXTRA PADDING, PARTICULARLY AT THE CORNERS. I HAVE MADE FAR TOO MANY PURCHASES ON EBAY WHERE THE ITEM HAS ARRIVED WITH DINGED CORNERS DUE TO INADEQUATE PACKAGING MATERIAL. BY USING FOLDED BUBBLE WRAP IN ALL FOUR CORNERS, YOU CAN BE ASSURED OF AN ITEM WITHOUT DINGED CORNERS (OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND FOR THAT MATTER).             Non-tracked shipping throughout the U.S.A will be $13 CANADIAN per item, as will tracked shipping within Canada. Tracked shipping to the U.S.A. will be $16 CANADIAN for items under 500g, and slightly more for items over 500g. Most single sleeve items can be shipped as under 500g. Gatefolds and multi-sets will be over 500g. 
Being a reasonable person, I will be absorbing ALL of the shipping material cost, and some of the actual postage cost.
If you have issue with an item, PLEASE work with me to achieve an outcome that will be to your satisfaction. I do offer full refunds (excluding cost to get it back to me), on any item that is not satisfactory.       SINCE SHIPPING OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA IS RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE (Thank You Canada Post), I will rarely list gatefolds or multi-items for sale overseas. IF ANYONE OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA IS CRAZY INTERESTED IN ANY ITEM, I WILL QUOTE SHIPPING ON REQUEST. Since a lot of the stuff that I will be selling is of higher end quality, rarely will things be offered overseas. Sorry folks. Again, I can consider requests on an item-by-item basis. THANKS FOR READING, everyone.       Occasionally I will be selling rare and collectible CDs. Shipping obviously will be much less, around $5 CANADIAN within North America.
