Santo & Johnny self-titled LP - 1959 with Liner Notes Misprint - Canadian American CALP 1001 MONO Play Tested
The vinyl has plenty of scuffs and handling marks. In playback, there is some surface noise and occasional clicks/pops but the music sounds rich and full. The record plays from start to finish with no skips or sticks. I found it to be an enjoyable listen with tolerable surface noise. I grade the record VG-, but since ebay doesn't recognize VG-, I called it G+ above.
The cover shows some general surface wear, but there is still plenty of gloss on the front and the back looks reasonably good. There is a very long seam split on the bottom seam starting at right side and continuing for close to 9 1/2 inches. There is a split of about 1 inch on top seam, right side. The spine displays well with no major damage in the lettering area, but some wear at the very top and bottom. I noticed that the printing for the spine seems like it was done at an odd angle (or pasted on at an odd angle). I do believe that the lettering "Canadian-American Records" visible at upper left of front cover is actually intended for the spine. The lettering "Santo & Johnny" with a black dot on either side is a bit slanted on the spine and one of the dots is partially visible on the front cover.
The liner notes start off with "In April, 1958 ...". This is a misprint. Check most other copies and you'll see that the date is given as "April, 1959".
The white paper inner sleeve is yellowed with some tears and wrinkles and a bottom seam split.
Obviously this copy has its flaws, but it does sound reasonably good when played and the cover still oozes appeal. Plus there is that misprint thing too. 
Please see the photos for track listing and to check out condition for yourself.

That's what the MAKE OFFER button is for. 
It works similar to BUY IT NOW. 
If nobody has placed a bid, the MAKE OFFER button is generally available. All you do is click on it and then enter the amount you are willing to pay. The offer then comes to me and I can accept it or reject it. I accept a lot more offers than I reject, so don't be scared. Ebay might automatically reject your offer if it is lower than I want to consider at the moment. But don't worry, you can try again if you wish. 
If I accept your offer that means you bought the item and the auction ends. It's all very simple.

For items to be delivered outside of the USA, buyers should be aware that any customs fees / taxes that are required by your government are your responsibility and are not covered by the cost of the item or the shipping charges.

I promise to pack your item securely, no matter what it is. Everything I ship gets packed well, so don't worry about a thing. If appropriate I will add insurance coverage and sometimes I will add signature tracking (USA) when your item is shipped. Signature tracking ensures that the postal service doesn't leave your valuable item unattended on your doorstep out in the rain. Signature tracking requires that your package be handed to you (or your agent) directly - after you sign for it. So if you order something rare and/or worth a bit, be prepared to have to accept delivery in person.

When multiple items are shipped to a USA address, I can almost always give you a better deal on the shipping cost compared to the individual shipping costs. For international buyers, the answer is "sometimes yes and sometimes no".
In either case, I promise to give you the best rate possible based on the items purchased and the shipping method required. Be sure to look at all that I offer to see if you can add to your order without significantly increasing shipping charges.
Keep in mind that I can't hold an order open for you indefinitely while you add items. Generally speaking all orders must be closed and paid within 4 days of the first item purchased. You have to let me know your intentions or your 1st item might get cancelled for nonpayment while you are waiting for another auction to end.
I'm not going to skimp on safe packaging though and sometimes combining shipping requires packaging material upgrades. 
Sometimes combining shipping requires changes in the shipping class used too. For instance, if something you buy uses first class shipping, the other items you buy might cause the package weight to exceed the first class limits and we would have to use Priority Mail shipping perhaps.
Of course it is ok to ask about combined shipping costs up front too. I can't always give an exact cost, but I'll do my best to give you a ballpark figure.
The USA shipping case --->
If the items you are buying are easily combined the combined shipping rate will be better than if the items aren't easily combined. For example, shipping 2 LPs or 7-inch records together doesn't cost a lot more than shipping one. But if one item ships by Priority Mail and the other by Media Mail, then the combined package would probably have to go by the higher rate. Additionally, there are instances where combined shipping just isn't practical. For example, let's say you buy an LP record and a 1/2 gallon milk jug. Neither one of these items would fit in the box intended for shipping the other and the shipping class for each is different then the other. In that example, such a large box would have to be used and shipped at a higher rate to send both together that combined shipping would cost more than individual shipments.
VERY IMPORTANT: If you buy more than one item I will send an invoice showing the shipping cost for combining multiple purchases into one shipment. Meanwhile, Ebay will send you payment reminders before my combined shipping invoice can be sent. DON'T PAY WHEN YOU GET THE INITIAL EBAY PAYMENT REMINDER. Wait for my combined shipping invoice. If you accidentally pay on the initial ebay reminders, you might end up paying more for shipping than you needed to and I won't be able to give all of the excess back to you.
The International Shipping Case --->
It is much harder to make general statements about combined shipping for international orders.
For items where the ebay Global Shipping Program is used, the answer is that combined shipping discounts are not possible. Ebay will not allow combined shipping discounts when their Global Shipping Program is used. With the GSP, all items must be paid for individually even if they can be shipped in the same package. In other words, you might buy 2 items from me that can ship in the same box, but ebay is going to collect their full GSP shipping charge for each item anyway. I have no power to offer a shipping discount. That's ebay's policy. With GSP, most of the shipping charge goes directly to ebay. I only receive the amount that corresponds to my USA shipping charge.
If other international shipping options are available for all items you are interested in, I will combine shipping if possible. Sometimes combining shipping might require switching shipping method because of package weight or combined value. In those cases, combined shipping might not be a big savings.
For international buyers, if there are several items that you want, feel free to tell me what they are and maybe I can find a way to make shipping cost less. For example, I might be able to change shipping method from Global Shipping Program to Priority Mail International or First Class International depending on the circumstances. I have to know exactly what is being shipped before a plan can be made.
