What you're looking at: SUPER rare LP. This record is insanely cool, and the best song has to be "Be a Hobo." It really is some unique/beatnik stuff. The overall condition is VG. The cover holds together, and the art looks decent, but there is aging and some splitting. The vinyl has light scratching, but plays at a VG with some light background noise, but not enough to take too much away from the music. 1A/1C pressed in the runout, which I believe means a first press.

How it stacks up:

RECORD: VG (6.5 of 10) There are some light scratches sporadically. Some dull, and longer than others, but it plays throughout no problems with some noise. I tried to get lots of pictures for the viewer. 

SLEEVE: VG (6.0 of 10) Art is good. Aging on back. There is 2" split on top, 1/2" on bottom. The spine has some splitting and cracking, but overall it still holds together decently.

MY GRADING SCALE (I.E. NOT ANYBODY ELSE’S):

OK, my goal is to be as specific as I can without being ridiculously wordy. I give one of these (from worst to best): G, G+, VG-, VG, VG+, VG++. That is it. No more letters, thus VG++ is a very good record. NM does NOT exist in my scale.

AFTER THE GENERAL GRADING SCALE, I have a second number in parenthesis, which is meant to be more specific. I find that a number is more specific than a general sector of opinion, thus the number will be between 1 and 10. This is meant to give you a more-specific idea of what you are getting into audio quality wise, the former is more for visual.

That being said, I play with a customized Thorens TD 165 (YEAH BOY!!) through Polk Speakers and a Pioneer receiver.

RETURNS: Generally returns are a no go, unless you have a compelling reason; also, I will give a TWO week grace period for exchanges (that means the buyer pays shipping back to me if they want a return). I give plenty of chances to see what you’re buying (audio clips, emails, two part grading system and a full policy description) and, as I see it, the buyer has as much responsibility as the seller to a) know what they are buying and b) have the decency to ask prior to purchase.

COMBINED SHIPPING: I charge a flat rate of $4 for one record, which covers postage, plastic sleeves, replacement inserts, shipping boxes, etc … After that, if you purchase more, it is $1 extra for each record domestically.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: I now will ship overseas of whatever the quote is. so CHECK THE QUOTE BEFORE BIDDING!!

I really hope this answers all questions and concerns; however, if it doesn’t, EMAIL ME. Other than that, bid happily.
