Visitor-Take It-Rare AOR LP-Autograph/Albany New York Band This auction is for the vinyl record from Visitor, titled, "Take It", released in 1983(Visitor Records). Visitor was one of the finest bands to emerge from the excellent upstate New York rock scene. Visitor was a great hard rock/metal band, with 3 rare lp's released in the early 1980's. This is their second album, which is harder to find than their self titled debut lp. The vinyl is very clean and shiny and grades Near Mint, with no scratches or marks. A perfect copy. The jacket is also in nice shape and grades VG++. It has a nice glossy shine, with just a bit of corner and edge wear. On the back, the record is autographed by all 4 band members. Finding this record autographed is near impossible. I have 2 extra copies of the record(not autographed) and would consider selling one of them after the auction endsto the second high bidder, if interested. I'm listing about 100 auctions for vinyl records; featuring mostly heavy metal and hard rock. All of the auctions are all listed for the minimum bid price of just $.99, with no reserve. Have fun and feel free to "shop" on my account, to combine shipping. For U.S. orders, my shipping and handling cost for 1 record is $3.50 and for each record won after the first winner, I add 40 cents to the initial $3.50 cost. For non-U.S. orders, please check below for S & H charges before bidding. If interested in my other auctions, just click on the "view sellers other auctions" link near the top of this page to see the list.

• SONGS: The record has 8 songs and isn't listed too often on Ebay: Playing The Game, Your Love Keeps On Showin, Eyewitness, Falling In Love, Take It, Invasion, Undercover Lover and Electronic Thunder. That's the record, good luck bidding!
• CONDITION: Record: NEAR MINT; Jacket: VG++:::
• OTHER DETAILS: Before grading each record, I quickly clean each record(except when sealed), which helps me to grade accurately. I use a bright light and try to be as honest as possible with each auction I do, but if the winning bidder is not completely satisfied with their purchase, I offer a complete money back guarantee, and this includes both the winning bid and the s & h charges paid. Before packing, I'll make sure that all the records are in protective inner sleeves; either the original ones that they came in, or a new one that I'll provide. Also, I use a strong, professionally made 12 inch vinyl record box; plus 2 solid, cardboard pads for added protection for each order. Finally, when I receive payment, I'll send an e-mail to confirm that payment has arrived, and I will leave the buyer positive feedback right away. Please check my feedback and bid with confidence. Good Luck!!!
• U.S.A. SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS : Media Mail S & H is $3.50. For U.S. orders, each record won after the first winner, adds 40 cents for media mail shipping. Media mail usually takes about 4-7 days, but occasionally can take as long as 3 weeks. Priority shipping is still offered, but cost a lot more now. Priority has a price range for one record from $5.30 to $7 depending on how close to Albany, New York you live. Priority is fast, but very expensive now. Insurance is optional and adds $1.30. I've never had to use insurance, or had delivery problems, so I do not recommend it; except for higher priced records.
• PAYMENT OPTIONS FOR U.S.A. BUYERS: I take all different forms of payment: Money orders, cashiers checks, personal checks, Paypal, Bidpay, and well concealed cash payments(not recommended, but accepted). For using Paypal, please make sure to make just one payment if you win multiple auctions, so that I don't get hit with multiple fees from Paypal. Send payment to my Paypal business account, which is raspaint@aol.com
• NON-U.S.A. SHIPPING OPTIONS: I offer both air and surface shipping and buyers may win as many records as they want for combined savings. Air shipping is fast and takes about 1-2 weeks. Surface shipping is much cheaper, but very slow and takes anywhere from 4-10 weeks to arrive, as it is sent by boat.
• CANADA: Air shipping charges for 1 record to Canada is $6.50. If combining the order for air shipping to Canada, each record won after the first winner adds $1.50 a record, so 2 records won cost $8.00, 3 records won cost $9.50, etc. Surface shipping charges for 1 record to Canada is $6. If combining the order for surface shipping to Canada, each record won after the first winner adds $1.25 a record, so 2 records won cost $7.25, 3 records won cost $8.50, etc.
• JAPAN, AUSTRALIA and ASIA: Air shipping charges for 1 record to Japan, Australia and Asia is $13. If combining the order for air shipping to Japan, Australia or Asia, each record won after the first winner adds $2.50 a record, so 2 records won cost $15.50, 3 records won cost $18, etc. Surface shipping charges for 1 record to Japan, Australia and Asia is $7. If combining the order for surface shipping to Japan, Australia and Asia, each record won after the first winner adds $1.50 a record, so 2 records won cost $8.50, 3 records won cost $10, etc.

I can also accept an international postal money order, well concealed cash(not recommended, but accepted), or a check in U.S. dollars that is drawn off of a U.S. bank.

  On Feb-23-05 at 17:39:09 PST, seller added the following information:
  I had some people e-mail me and ask me a few questions about this record and about the band. In particular, how the Take It record compares to their first record and about line up changes. I saw this band play dozens of times and knew some of the band members, so here's some added info, that should be helpful. Visitor did have some line up changes. The lead singer on the first record was Danny Marcil and on Take It, it's Bill Teller. Both were excellent, with real good range. In my opinion, Bill Teller was a bit better because he was more melodic. Both records are guitar heavy, with lots of great guitar jams and riffs; plus some good keyboards. Marty Wagner plays great lead guitar on both records and Joe Saba plays good bass on both records. Matt Karweil joined the band after Marcil left and he plays rhythm guitar and keyboards on Take It. Paul Leonardo was the original drummer, but was replaced by Nick Zarrelli on Take It. Both records are great hard driving rock, with lots of guitar from Wagner. Take It fits the AOR mode a bit more, but still, Take It has plenty of straight forward hard rock.
