CONDITION


The Sleeve is in good shape. There is some shelf wear and corner softening/wear. There is some dirtiness and a couple brown coffe spill dots on the back and inside the gatefold. The back bottom seam is part split 2” in the middle and the top about 1/2” at the opening edge. Very solid with no other splits, stains, tears, cutouts, writing, etc. and would rate VG. The Vinyl is in clean Glossy condition. There are some light scuffs, marks and hairlines - no actual scratches i.e. something you can feel with a fingernail. At least a good VG visually and plays largely VG+ or better, with maybe a bit of groove noise and a couple random soft tics - might be further improved with a better cleaning than I can give with my Discwasher brush. The labels show some light spindle trails but are otherwise NM.

TERMS AND DEFINITIONS


Records are graded to the best of my ability to Goldmine Visual standards. If I provide Play Grades it is done as a courtesy but I only guarantee the Visual Grade. 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.

COMPLETE SHIPPING INFO


Buyer to prepay by PayPal (or other methods by pre-arrangement). Domestic U.S. Buyer pays calculated shipping costs for 2 Pounds. Each additional record is only $1.00 for domestic bidders. PLEASE NOTE: My auctions with a "Buy It Now" require an Immediate Payment. If you purchase multiple B.I.N. items, I will calculate combined shipping and refund the difference to you! Or contact me ahead of time and I will remove the Immediate Payment requirement for you! Payment must be received within one week of close of auction or item may be relisted at my discretion. 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.

I am happy to combine postage on multiple purchases for International orders and only charge actual postage - please ask for an invoice, I will have to calculate costs.


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.
