THIS IS ONE OF MANY VINTAGE LP'S I AM OFFERING, AT SET SALE. ALL GENRES, INCLUDING: ROCK & ROLL, POP, COUNTRY, JAZZ, SOUNDTRACKS & OTHER. I KEEP IT SIMPLE & LIST THE DATE, ARTIST{S}, GENRE, TITLE, GRADE {COVER/THEN DISK} & OTHER INFO, IN THE HEADING. ABBREVIATIONS: BTM=BOTTOM; TP=TOP; SPN=SPINE; SPL= SEAM SPLIT; FC=FRONT CVR; BC-BACK CVR; LBL=LABEL; WR=WORN; NC=NAME ON CVR; NLBL=NAME ON LBL; #CVR=NUMBER ON CVR; TPE=TAPE; #LBL=NUMBER ON LBL; RPRD=REPAIRED; ST=STEREO; BB=DRILL HOLE, CC=CUT CORNER. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON EBAY "WORLD'S LARGEST RUMMAGE SALE" & WAS AMAZED TO FIND 5,716 "MEGA RARE" LP's; 4,035 "ULTRA RARE" LP's & 1,997 "SUPER RARE" LP's. THAT'S OVER 11,000 LP's. THERE'S NOT THAT MANY ON THE PLANET! I FOUND 22,947 "IN SHRINK" LP's. IF THIS MEANS ANYTHING, I CAN "SHRINK WRAP" ANY LP ON THIS LIST! ARE YOU IMPRESSED YET?? I WAS ALSO CONFUSED BY SOME OF THE GRADE DESCRIPTIONS. EXAMPLES: "VG++". IS THIS LESS THAN MINT MINUS MINUS ?? "MINT+". IS THIS BETTER THAN MINT ? HOW ABOUT "WOULD BE MINT EXCEPT" -- IT "IS CRACKED" - "WARPED" - "ONLY SKIPS ON 2 SONGS" - "PLAYS BETTER THAN IT LOOKS" - "ROACHES ATE OFF LABEL" - "RAT CHEWED ON CVR" - "SOMEONE PUKED ON IT", ETC. THERE WERE NO LISTINGS FOR THE GRADE {FFIS}, FOUND FLOATING IN SEWER -- THOUGH I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL OF THESE LATELY. SOME, FROM "MEGA RARE" DEALERS". I GRADE ACCURATELY & I DON'T USE EBAY'S MOST ABUSED WORD "RARE", VERY OFTEN. BUT WHEN I DO -- IT IS! OF COURSE, YOUR SATISFACTION IS GUARANTEED {AS PER EBAY'S SELLERS RULE #3,641}. I CAN COMBINE SHIPPING. JUST "REQUEST TOTAL", BEFORE - NOT AFTER YOU PAY. OVERSEAS BUYERS: YOU ARE GETTING RAPED, ON EBAY'S SHIPPING CHARGES. FOR THE $24, YOU PAY FOR SHIPPING ONE LP, EBAY STEALS OVER $4 OF. THE PO CHARGES ME $18, TO MAIL IT. THEN THEY STOMP, MUTILATE, CRUSH, BEND --- OR LOSE IT! EBAY HOLDS ME, NOT THE PO, RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU RECEIVING LP's. I CAN SEND 12-16 LP's OVERSEAS & CANADA, AIRMAIL, FLAT RATE, FOR $66 SHIPPING. IF LESS THAN A 12 LP ORDER, YOU WILL BE SEVERELY PUNISHED! THANKS FOR LOOKING.
