This is an original pressing with custom inner sleeve and a phenomenal lp.

PLEASE READ! I have used this same format for years so please LOOK AT THE PHOTOS! The photos tell all! I am the ONLY seller who is not afraid to photograph the discs in SUNLIGHT which though it amplifies insignificant hair lines it is like you are holding it in your own hands to inspect. Or if there is no sun then I angle it under bright light for the same effect. If you use the right and left arrows under the main gallery photo you will find up to 11 more pictures which completely show all aspects of the lp. If you cannot look at my photos and glean almost everything you need to know about my lps then maybe you should find another hobby. You shouldn't even need a numerical grade but I provide one. Scroll down to the bottom of my listing for important info including discounts available!

I am still in Michigan and this is the last batch of lps I will auction till the fall. I am heading back to Seattle for the summer and will continue my ebay store but no more auctions until Fall.  I'm listing another killer batch of CLASSIC ROCK most all original pressings in excellent to near mint condition. I have my ULTRASONIC CLEANER with me and all lps will be cleaned before they are professionally packaged for shipment. I welcome international bidders but please CONTACT ME PRIOR TO BIDDING! I will give you an accurate quote on shipping/combined shipping cost to your country.

PLEASE NOTE: PLEASE READ BELOW FOR DETAILED GRADING SCALE / SHIPPING POLICY and please....BEFORE bidding/buying or emailing questions please read complete description and look carefully at photos.

RECORD/ITEM FOR SALE:
 Tracy Chapman "TRACY CHAPMAN"  Lp on the US Electra Records label. It is catalog #60774-1 stereo. It is dated 1988

RECORD CONDITION/GRADE: The discs grade visually at ex/87. The labels are ex/87. The cover is vg+/74 with shelf, seam, spine, opening and corner wear along with corner dings/dents and light marks/creases.

GRADING SCALE: I try to give an accurate representation of the record with a numerical value. I infer that the records should play their visual grade. I have given a numerical grade to correspond to typical record grading for the approximate percentage of wear. For example, excellent/85 means the disc should have about 15% wear/marks from a NEW record. Sealed lps should be new. By looking at the photos you can find band info and song titles.
MINT = 100
NEAR MINT = 94-99
EXCELLENT/NEAR MINT =90-93 (borderline near mint)
EXCELLENT = 84-89
VG+/EXCELLENT = 80-83 (borderline excellent)
VG+ = 74-79
VG/VG+ = 70-73 (borderline vg+)
VG =64-69
Look, I know how to grade. I try to make it like you are actually holding the item in your hand and with my photos and this numerical system allows you to get the best idea of exactly what you are buying. And really, isn't that what is truly important? I point out details and don't hide them like other ebay sellers! And yes I make mistakes especially cut and paste ones. Don't hesitate to inform me of my errors. I appreciate it. I also back EVERYTHING I sell with a full money back guarantee.

HOW TO GET FREE SHIPPING AND A DISCOUNT!
If you wait to pay and I combine all your purchases from a batch of auctions, I will AT LEAST only charge you for the actual shipping cost which is the postage and $2 for packaging. If you don't wait for  the combined invoice you will pay $2 per lp shipped PERIOD!

Spend $99 combined or more on this batch ending
Sunday night JUNE 4th and Monday night JUNE 5th I will include FREE DOMESTIC shipping. But again if you do not wait for a combined invoice with the free shipping and simply are in a hurry to pay then I will not go back and process a refund of your shipping PERIOD.

Spend $199 combined or more on this batch ending Sunday night JUNE 4th and Monday night JUNE 5th I will include FREE DOMESTIC shipping plus! an additional 5% off your ENTIRE ORDER!
To get this discount you MUST WAIT for me to send the combined invoice with free shipping. That is the ONLY way it can be obtained. But again if you do not wait for a combined invoice with the free shipping and simply are in a hurry to pay then I will not go back and process a refund of your shipping PERIOD.

Finally after 48 years in the hobby I have come to the conclusion that most lp sellers are worse than used car salesmen. If you are buying from others and they fill their listings with hype and BS and take photos from an arms length along with cropped out edges and spines and other damage...... and many don't have a return policy........Then you might consider buying from me instead? I don't hide anything but my displeasure with such sellers.
