We grade the promotional cover as Excellent. It's very clean and doesn't have any writing, residue or splits. The rigid spine has a fully readable text. The cover has some very light creases along the spine along with a few faint age discoloration spots at the top on the front. The vinyl is in Excellent condition and has just a few barely noticeable surface scuffs from the original cardboard inner sleeve which is in Near Mint condition and doesn't have any splits or tears. The clean labels are in Near Mint Minus condition. The vinyl sounds great having a vivid Stereo sound.

FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS' CONSIDERATION

Due to the high risks involved when it comes international shipping, we’ve recently stopped sending our items with USPS First-Class Mail International and now use only USPS Priority Mail International Express. However, if your order exceeds the amount of $5000, we’ll have to ship the package with FedEx as oppose to USPS.

I don't have the information concerning the existing customs regulations and policies in your country. Before placing a bid please find out more details about it yourself. I don't take any responsibility for the length of customs clearance. I also don't have any opportunity to influence the work of postal carriers in any way. For this particular reason, I ship internationally only with expedite shipping service that includes signature confirmation. My capabilities are limited to the professional packing that assures a safe transit throughout the way and fastest shipping dates. After shipping the package I don't accept any claims related to the work of postal service or problems related to the absence of knowledge related to the customs clearance in your country. If you have any negative experience related to the postal service and you'd like to insure the purchased item please contact me about it beforehand. Keep in mind that just like you, I'm interested in our transaction being concluded successfully but my abilities are limited to the service I describe above.
