BEFORE BIDDING PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE DESCRIPTION BELOW FOR IMPORTANT DETAILS ABOUT THIS AUCTION.
Up for bid is a used record from my personal collection.
I choose to not grade the vinyl, jacket/cover and sleeve in my listings because I don't want there to be any misunderstandings about the condition (visual and audible) of the record and its packaging. Instead, I play through each record before listing and visually inspect them under natural light and black light. I have included comments and observations on the condition (visual and audible) of the record and its packaging, as well as photos of what is included in the auction (quality pictures of the vinyl itself are really tricky to capture and reflections off the ceiling and light sources in the room typically appear in the pictures, but I did my best).
Note that this is being sold AS IS and I do not accept returns ... too costly and too much hassle in my opinion. So to eBay Representatives and to Buyers ... I've been a member of the eBay community since 1999 and take my status as a buyer and seller very seriously. I have documented all substantive issues with the items in this listing and will challenge any request for a full or partial refund, return, or "item not as described" claim filed by a Buyer. Again ... sold AS IS.
I'll spin the vinyl through Record Friend (Big Fudge) to clean it before shipping to minimize any finger prints, residue, minor debris that could attach to the vinyl over time and when preparing it for shipping. Incidental lint/debris is very likely to be visible on the vinyl when you pull it from the packaging and first inspect it ... clean it appropriately and the vinyl should clean up as it was when I initially packaged it. All items will be shipped in a record mailer USPS Media Mail with proper packaging.
Below are my notes on the item ... thank you for taking a look at my listing!
VINYL
Only a few of the sides would qualify as excellent if I were grading them. Some of the more significant issues are noted below. Also, I'm probably overstating my concerns with the overall quality of this set. I've played it through probably 8-10 times and had my fill of it in this medium, and generally have been satisfied with the quality ... but as far as listing the set and effectively communicating my observations so that the buyer is fully aware, I've decided to be hyper-critical of the set.
Side 1: Some audible issues (scratchy) with the lead-in on the first song Side 3: Some scuffs/blemishes on track 2 Side 4: The last few tracks of some issues that are noticeable on playback Side 5: Some scuffs/blemishes on track 2 Side 7: A few noticeable issues both visually and audibly, with this side having the most challenges in the set Side 8: Similar to Side 7, although not as may or as significant
JACKET/COVER
see photos; both are in pretty good condition, with the exception of the left side of the gatefold for records 3 & 4 ... see the photo I included.
INNER SLEEVES
see photos; all of them are in very good condition and no splits, with the exception of one that has some adhesive of some sort it seems on the opening.
OTHER/GENERAL COMMENTS Unfortunately I don't have the original box, world map or download code to include with the listing.
