Elvis Costello, MFSL (11 Titles), 180G Vinyl, ALL SEALED!!!, Low Numbers!!. This Lot of vinyl ALSO includes Wise Up Ghost (SEALED), Secret Profane & Sugarcane (SEALED) and National Ransom (NOT sealed).

I am currently in the process of liquidating my personal collection of audiophile vinyl, accumulated over a 40-year period. I am the original buyer/owner of all of these items, purchased at the time of their original release. Thirteen of the 14 titles are in their original manufacturer-SEALED condition. As such, all LPs, inserts, inlays and cardboard gatefold covers are graded manufacturer-level Mint, EXCEPT AS NOTED BELOW. The grading for the National Ransom title is described below. All titles are at 33RPM, except Get Happy!!

1. My Aim Is True, #000156
2. This Year's Model, #000175
3. Armed Forces, #000206, approx. 2" seam split on top edge of the back gatefold sleeve, and approx. 3" seam split on bottom edge of the back gatefold sleeve

4. Get Happy!!, 45RPM, 2-record set, #000120
5. Almost Blue, #000154
6. King Of America, #000109
7. Imperial Bedroom, #000138
8. Punch The Clock, #000168
9. Goodbye Cruel World, #000116, approx. 3" seam split on top edge of the back gatefold sleeve
10. Blood & Chocolate, #000151, one very minor dent in the top edge of the front gatefold sleeve
11. Trust, #000118, the mfrs perforated outer sleeve is detached about 3" on the top spine edge (both sides) and about 1" on the bottom spine edge (both sides)

12. Wise-Up Ghost, Blue Note, SEALED, unnumbered, 2-record set
13. Secret Profane & Sugarcane, Specialty Records, SEALED, unnumbered, 2-record set
14. National Ransom, Lupe-O-Tone, NOT sealed, unnumbered, 2-record set, Records have never been played (conservatively graded M-/NM); one white paper inlay sleeve has a small rip on one side and a ripped corner on the other; one approx. quarter-inch rip in the outer paper layer (NOT a seam split) in the center of the top edge of the front gatefold cover. As a result, I would conservatively grade the overall cover as VG+ because of the rip (M-/NM otherwise).

Please note that I ship ONLY to US postal addresses. Any questions should be asked/answered BEFORE placing your bids in order for me to consider any return. A return MUST include ALL 14 TITLES in their ORIGINAL SEALED AND/OR GRADED CONDITION. This is to avoid any negotiations about a certain percentage of the total winning bid being applicable to only a specific title(s).

There is no Reserve set for this auction, and I've set a reasonably low Starting Bid for this 14-title lot in consideration of the collectability, sealed condition, and low number status (as appropriate) of these audiophile recordings.

Until this past July, I had not listed anything on eBay for over 12 months. Therefore, I have only a few current Feedback reviews (all 100% Positive). I ask only that you take a look at my Feedback reviews from my previous selling activity (also all 100% Positive) to reassure yourselves that you can bid with confidence.
