The picture sleeve of this copy is in pristine Near Mint Minus condition and has no splits, writing, residue, soiling or ring wear. I grade the promotional vinyl as Very Good Plus. It retains its glossy factory lacquer only having some very light non-feelable surface hairlines, the majority of which are located on the runout grooves and don't affect the playback in any way. The snow white labels are very clean and in Near Mint condition without having any wear or scuffs. The vinyl's audio is graded as Excellent Minus, because it sounds great with clear and dynamic 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.
