The Who TOMMY - Classic Records 2LP 150gm Heavy Vinyl Edition SEALED

201

The Who TOMMY - Classic Records "Heavy Vinyl" 150 gm edition SEALED! There's nothing I need to say about one of the greatest rock albums ever made. I just can't fathom that Pete Townshend was only around 23 or 24 years old when he was writing this. Genius. 
About this edition: Classic Records experimented with a lot of formulations, and there were a lot of titles pressed at 200gm that sound great but, candidly, can be pretty noisy (I went through 4 copies of Who's Next before I found an acceptably quiet 200 gm copy). NOT so with their 140gm/150 gm editions (which are HEAVY compared to what the record labels used to routinely issue). I purchased this copy from Amoeba Records as a backup to my 150gm "listening" copy, which sounds terrific (full disclosure: my ultimate listening copy is a Classic Records 8LP, 45RPM, Single-Sided Clarity Vinyl test pressing, but if I don't feel like cleaning and changing THAT many records, I go to my 150 gm copy). I believe you'll be delighted with how great this pressing sounds.
CONDITION: There are three "dings" along the top edge. Please see Pictures 4, 5 and 6. 

ABOUT AMOEBA MUSIC
I’ve been a satisfied customer of Amoeba Music since they opened their first store in Berkeley, CA in the early 1990s. For many years I visited Amoeba’s San Francisco store every week after they opened their doors, and since my work put me in the Los Angeles area many times a year, I’ve enjoyed many, many visits to that location. I’ve purchased over 1,000 records from Amoeba over the last 30+ years, some of which I intend to sell here on Ebay.
Because Amoeba is a “brick and mortar” store they need to have security systems in place to prevent theft AND price tag switching. These systems include sealing both the price tags and shoplifting security strips with packing tape. IN PICTURES 7 AND 8 YOU CAN SEE HOW AMOEBA HAS TAPED OVER THE PRICE TAG AND AFFIXED A SECURITY STRIP ON THE REAR.
IMPORTANT: In the past when I’ve resold Amoeba LPs on Ebay, I’ve gotten questions from bidders concerned that the albums might have been resealed, or wondering why there is packing tape over shrink wrap. Therefore, it is important to know that all Amoeba locations use WHITE price tags when an album is sealed and new. Amoeba uses YELLOW price tags for all used albums. Finally, if Amoeba purchases a sealed record from a customer and resells it, Amoeba uses a WHITE price tag with a BLUE line drawn across the top. And BTW, you do not have to take my word for this: I encourage you to call one of the Amoeba stores and I’m confident they will confirm these facts.  
Furthermore, the LPs I’m selling on Ebay were all purchased by me personally. I have no time, interest, ability, or inclination to rip people off…the albums I sell are exactly as described. If you have ANY doubts or concerns about this, PLEASE do not bid on my records.
Finally, if you have not looked at Amoeba.com, I HIGHLY recommend you check them out! 

ABOUT SHIPPING AND HANDLING: Please note there is a $5 fee included in Ebay's estimate of Media Mail shipping costs. I believe the best way to ship an LP includes a 13"x14"x3" "pizza" style box, 12"x12" cardboard flats, outer shopping bag, and bubble wrap. The shipping boxes alone cost me over $3 each, and the average total cost of shipping materials is around $4.72, so this is NOT a money-maker for me. However, it does ensure, consistently, that these high value LPs arrive safely. Please check my feedback and I think you'll see that buyers appreciate the care with which these precious artifacts are handled.

COMBINED SHIPPING: I am more than happy to combine shipping. Ebay buyers pay the actual postage costs. If a single LP is purchased, the buyer pays actual postage and $5 for shipping materials. If two LPs are purchased, the buyer pays actual postage and $5 for shipping materials. If three or more LPs are purchased, the buyer pays actual postage and $0 for shipping materials (I will absorb the cost of materials). As the final amount can only be calculated after auctions have ended, I will issue the appropriate refund on the day the LPs are shipped. 

About Me: I'm a long time Ebay buyer intent on selling a significant portion of my LP collection over the next year or two (or three!). I believe in the auction process, so I'm NOT going to list records at absurdly high prices, and I look forward to getting rare, out of print records into the hands of music lovers, record collectors and audiophiles (I consider myself all of the above). All LPS stored in a smoke-free, climate controlled environment. 

Please check my feedback and BID WITH CONFIDENCE. Also, please take a look at other items I'm listing (new items will be listed on Sunday and Wednesday nights), and good luck! 

PayPal Payments Only. Payment required within 3 days after the end of auction. All records will ship USPS Media Mail.
