ZERO 7 - Destiny | MINT 2001 Vinyl Single Feat Sia | 1st Press Giant Step GSTP 7
Outer Sleeve = NM (Near Mint) / Inner Sleeve = NM (Near Mint) / Vinyl = M (MINT) See grading definitions below
Don't miss this opportunity to own a piece of alternative rock history with this rare Zero 7 original 2001 Destiny single featuring the singer "Sia" The vinyl and the sleeve look and play virtually like a mint condition record from from the wrapper... Don't settle for an MP3 or a CD of this song, get one of the rare copies of this single that were pressed in the original era the music was made ON VINYL. If you're a DJ in particular, you must play this song to your audience on vinyl...
> I clean ALL the vinyl records I sell with RCA Diskwasher brand professional grade D4+ cleaning solution, with a vintage Diskwasher brand fine microfiber applicator. Oddly few sellers of vinyl here on eBay professionally clean the records they sell, so most customers receive a flawed product right from the start that is either dirty with dust, finger prints, mold, etc or has been cleaned with plain tap water or regularly filtered water and an abrasive applicator. Plain or regular filtered water have micro sized mineral deposits that end up getting trapped in the grooves of vinyl, also unless a high quality microfiber applicator was used, the applicator used to apply the water will degrade the vinyl at the same time as the water deposits. The professional D4+ solution I use is comprised of steam evaporated distilled water that is free of micro minerals, isopropil alcohol and specialized soft cleansing compounds that thoroughly clear and clean the grooves of vinyl while leaving no water deposits or degrading the surface of the vinyl with an abrasive applicator.
> I store all my vinyl in short upright vertical piles in wooden cabinets and in a 100% cigarette and smoke free environment. Many less professional sellers keep their vinyl in horizontal stacks on the floor piled 2 or more feet high, which degrades the quality of the vinyl, and some may keep their collections in an environment with cigarette smoke, leaving a faint smell of cigarettes on the records they sell.
> I will also make sure to have this record in the mail to you in 1-2 business days from receiving your payment, and will box your record according to professional grade record shipping standards with double stiff box walls to prevent warping of the record and the vinyl taken out of both the inner and outer record sleeves resting on the outer sleeve and the inner sleeve on top of the vinyl creating protective barriers to shield the vinyl in the shipment.Additionally, this boxing arrangement prevents the vinyl from tearing a hole in the bottom seam of the inner sleeve or potentially even the outer sleeve via movement while in transit. I use USPS Media Mail shipping to be able to keep the cost of shipping very low while at the same time providing tracking service for the shipment so the customer can track the shipment's progress. The shipment will take 2-7 business days from the date shipped. With many record sellers here on eBay the buyer ends up waiting 3-7 days after completing their payment to have their record boxed and the shipment started. Additionally, many eBay sellers don't know how to professionally box records for shipment so the seams of the inner sleeve get torn and the record ends up getting subtly warped due to a flimsy box or otherwise damaged due to poor box padding.
> If you're not satisfied with the purchase I offer a 30-day money back option. I'm an experienced eBay seller with a 100% positive feedback rating with over 350 sales reporting.
> If you buy more than one record from me at a time I will refund 100% of the shipping cost of any additional purchases beyond the first record, as I can ship multiple records at the same time for close to the same price as a single one--thus you save significantly on shipping when you buy more than 1 record from me in the same day. If you're in a super hurry to get your record purchase, email here on the eBay system and inquire about FedEx 2-Day express service prices. This is a very expensive option but if you need it super fast this is available upon special request--I will also make a point to process these super rush order extra fast often getting them shipped out the same day they are ordered or the morning of the next business day.
> Beware of sellers of vinyl here on eBay with rock bottom prices especially if they show few and poor photos of the records or no photos at all, as they often sell subtly inferior records that have damage, may have been stored incorrectly in an environment with cigarette smoke, and/or are unprofessional thus will not clean your record before shipment, or poorly clean it with a regular water solution that will damage your vinyl purchase, then take 3 or more days to get your record boxed up to you, packed like a novice, with a box with flimsy walls that may end up warping the vinyl, and the vinyl not taken out of the sleeves in the box that will then tear the bottom seam of the inner sleeve. Then if you notice the damage to the record, they will not accept a return as they don't offer a return policy...

My Vinyl Grading Definitions:
My vinyl grading is based on the The Goldmine Grading System that is the most commonly used here on eBay and on marketplaces worldwide. The specifics of each level are as follows:
M (Mint): A brand new sealed sleeve or vinyl record, or an unsealed very very lightly used product that looks brand new. 100% flawless in every way.
NM (Near Mint): A very lightly used sleeve or vinyl record. 99% of people would say that a NM sleeve or vinyl disc is brand new, but those very very picky will notice subtle imperfections around the edges of the sleeves and the vinyl record may have subtle imperfections on the inner label but the vinyl itself is perfectly clear of all but the subtlest of imperfections that don't effect the record's playback. The overall sound of the vinyl will be perfectly clear even in the silence in between songs.
EX (Excellent): A lightly used sleeve or vinyl record. 90% of people would say a EX sleeve or record looks brand new. There will be subtle to moderate imperfections around the edges of the sleeve and other subtle to moderate imperfections on the body of the sleeve. The vinyl record may have subtle imperfections to the inner label and 1-4 of the subtlest ghosting mark lines on the varnish layer of the vinyl, that don't extend down into the groove of the vinyl and that do not effect the playback or sound of the record at all. The overall sound of the vinyl will be perfectly clear, except very subtle noise in the silence in between songs.
VG (Very Good): A moderately used sleeve or vinyl record. Sleeves/records in this grade level will look used but still look and sound vibrant and have plenty of life in them. There will be various moderate imperfections around the edges and on the body of the sleeve. The vinyl record will have 1-5 subtle ghosting mark lines on the varnish layer of the vinyl, and 1-3 very light scratches on the vinyl that do not effect playback or the sound of the record at all when played on a quality record player. The overall sound of the vinyl will have a subtle degree of background noise that only becomes apparent in the pauses between songs. VG+ (Very Good Plus) or VG- (Very Good Minus) are variations of the VG rating that mean exactly what they imply, VG+ means that the sleeve or record quality is subtly better than a regular VG rating, and VG- means that the sleeve or record quality is subtly lessor than that of a VG rating.
G (Good): A significantly used sleeve or vinyl record. Sleeves/records in this grade level will look very used but aren't falling apart and look decent and sound mostly good thus still have a few years of life in them, or if cared for properly many years of life in them--for some styles of music a sleeve of this rating is actually desirable. There will be a variety of significant wear along the edges of the sleeve and a variety of significant wear on the body including tears, but the sleeve will not be falling apart and will still be visually enjoyable. The vinyl record will have a number of subtle ghosting mark lines on the varnish layer of the vinyl, 1-5 light scratches on the vinyl that do not effect playback or the sound of the record at all when played on a quality record player, and 1-3 scratches in the vinyl that will effect effect the sound in the form of skipping or other distortions of the sound even on the very best of record players. The overall sound of the vinyl will have a lot of background noise from poor overall care of the vinyl. G+ (Good Plus) or G- (Good Minus) are variations of the G rating that mean exactly what they imply, G+ means that the sleeve or record quality is subtly better than a regular G rating, and G- means that the sleeve or record quality is subtly lessor than that of a VG rating.
F (Fair): A heavily used sleeve or vinyl record. Sleeves/records in this grade level will look severely used and are basically falling apart and severely marred thus are no longer useful or enjoyable to look at and have 4 or more scratches in the vinyl that distort playback even on the highest quality record players. The overall sound of the vinyl will have heavy background noise from poor overall care of the vinyl. Sleeves in this rating may be usable if tape is applied to the edges to hold the sleeve together. Vinyl records in this rating maybe usable for playback of certain songs that don't have scratches on them in the vinyl.
P (Poor): Total junk... Except potentially the vinyl in this grade could be used as decorative wall art or as part of an assemblage art piece.
