A quick note: I’ve just started this eBay username to try to separate out my main business - Vinyl Records - from the other items I'm selling. While this username is new and has little feedback, I’ve been on eBay since 1998 and I invite you to check my feedback under username webvinyl. Thanks!

DESCRIPTION

The Art Of Lovin' - “The Art Of Lovin'” Mainstream Records S/6113 (Stereo) from 1968. Hard to find Original Psychedelic Folk / Pop / Rock album from The Art Of Lovin' psychedelic folk rock group from Newton, Massachusetts featuring Paul Applebaum, Johnny Lank, Barry Tatelman, Gail Winnick, and Sandy Winslow! Sometimes referred to as an “East Coast Jefferson Airplane” because of Gail Winnick’s Vocals and their Folk / Psych sound. Great album and very Hard to Find RARE Original Pressing!

CONDITION

The Sleeve is well used but still solid shape. There is some fairly slight basic ring and edge shelf wear and some corner softening. The top and bottom seams both have had masking tape applied I assume that they were partly split. There is a piece of black tape on the lower edge of the spine - I think this was a cataloging ID rather than a repair and it might be removable. There are “DJ Copy Not For Sale” and “KUSF” stamps on the back cover. “Un A” is written in sharpie in the upper right corner on the back. For all that still nice and solid and looks very nice - NO Cutouts. I would rate it VG but have a look, the pictures tell the story. The Vinyl is in well played but Glossy condition. There are overall scuffs and light hairlines - no actual scratches i.e. nothing that can be felt with a fingernail. Plays very nicely with occasional slight groove noise, crackling and a few soft tics but nothing that detracts from the music. I am calling it VG but mostly plays closer to VG+ and might be improved with a better cleaning than I can give with my Discwasher brush. The labels show some light spindle trails but are otherwise Near Mint.

TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

Records are graded to the best of my ability to Goldmine Visual standards. If you are not familiar with this grading system (or even if you think you are!), please check it out before bidding I have summarized the important (i.e. I think everyone knows what Mint means) points below in Goldmine's words:
Very Good Plus (VG+): Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK.
Very Good (VG): Surface noise will be evident upon playing,... Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
I stand by my grades but would like us to be on the same page so no problems arise. I have been selling Vintage Vinyl for over twenty years on the net and I can count the returns I've had on one hand so I believe my grading is fair and accurate. One important note, I try to grade to these Goldmine guides as best as I can understand and apply them. This gives us both a written standard to go by rather than having to guess. But.... it also means that I don't issue refunds over differences of opinion in grading i.e. "That's not MY idea of a VG record!" - I don't know what your standards are and, as such, can't grade to them. I guarantee that items I sell will meet my description, nothing more or less! If you are not satisfied that a purchase meets my description, I will do what I can to make it right if you give me the chance and work with me! Please feel free to check my feedback.

Overseas orders pay actual cost of shipping and must pay by PayPal (or other methods by pre-arrangement) in a timely manner. You are responsible for any fees - Customs, taxes, V.A.T., etc. - that you may inccur. Likewise lost or stolen items. I am happy to ship by any method that you prefer and to Register, Insure or otherwise protect your shipment but these all cost $$$ and are, therefore, optional.

Please read and understand: EBay / PayPal now requires door to door tracking and Insurance on all shipments! I strongly encourage customers to choose this option for both of our protection. I understand that this is painfully expensive particularly for overseas bidders. I am going out on a limb by allowing my overseas customers to choose shipping via regular 1st Class mail. If you choose to have your item shipped without Tracking or Insurance, you specifically agree to relinquish any and all rights to claims or refunds for loss or damage via eBay, PayPal or Credit Card companies and to abide exclusively by the terms as set forth in this auction.
