Up for auction today is this vinyl album copy of Tracy Chapman's self-titled debut album.  It was released in 1988 and is on the Elektra Record label, with the catalog number 60744-1.  I offer if for sale with no reserve.
Jacket: some ring wear/rubbing present,  denting/softening/color loss at corners,  small area of color loss at bottom on front,  minor edge wear is present primarily at the bottom edge,  graphics and photos are bright and colorful,  no splits,  legible spine,  custom printed inner sleeve included in very good condition with a one inch split at bottom
Vinyl: disc has rich gloss and is very reflective,  looks very well-cared for,  only a few very light hairline scratches when seen under bright direct light  (please see photo #10 for an example)  marks could not be felt and did not affect sound during play-grading,  labels are clean with light spindle marks on side two,  record plays very quietly with minimal background noise,  a light pop or crack may be heard,  music is right up front and punchy,  crisp treble and rich bass,  no skips or jumps    sounds fantastic

Please see photos to assess condition.  Feel free to request additional pictures.
Every record that I sell is cleaned using the Spin Clean system.  Although the records are ready for play upon delivery, additional cleaning is always recommended.
Grading records accurately is the hardest part of selling vinyl on eBay.  I try to adhere to the Goldmine grading standards and tend to grade conservatively.  If a buyer disagrees with my grading I will work things out amicably to mutual satisfaction.  I try my best to photograph any imperfections as well as attributes that a record has.  Please ignore any glares or reflections in the photos.
Return Policy:  If I list a record as having no skips or jumps and a buyer finds one then I will refund the cost as well as pay the return shipping. Otherwise the buyer pays for shipping on all returns. 
PayPal only please.  Please pay within 48 hours of auction's end.  Records will be shipped via USPS Media Mail within two business days of receiving payment.  Records are removed from jackets for shipping and will be securely packaged to avoid damage so you can bid with confidence.
