Please note that all of my records came from the collection of one serious audiophile. He cleaned the disks with best techniques, and maintained the disks in excellent shape.
ELLA FITZGERALD LOUIS ARMSTRONG Porgy and Bess LP Verve MG V-4011-2 gatefold album, 2 disks
Disk is EX condition. Both disks are in EXCELLENT condition
Jacket is VG condition. Previous owner used clear tape to fix a protective outer sleeve to jacket, and tape touches jacket in several locations, causing yellowing. Also, the spine if decayed, and has been taped over. Spine in current state is sturdy and resilient! Because of the spine, I graded jacket at VG condition. See photos for full details.
General comment:
I usually conduct grading of disks visually, and all the records in
this collection were cared for with love, and cleaned using the best
professional techniques. The previous owner listened to these disks on a
top-line stereo system, and cleaned them to make sure they were free of
all dust and dirt. Sometimes there will be surface abrasions, which can
usually be seen in the photographs I take of the disks.

Shipping for 1 record is $4.00 via media mail (USA Only).
INTERNATIONAL: I WILL INVOICE BUYER WITH SHIPPING COST, EITHER USPS PRIORITY MAIL, OR USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL (Your Choice)
NO shipping to Italy. Italian postal service is notorious for theft. I will cancel bids from buyers in Italy.
International shipping, by USPS First Class International, typically runs at about $19 for Asia; $18 for Europe, and $11 for Canada. I add protective packaging to records like this, which makes the cost of shipping a little higher. DO NOT pay until I send invoice.
Records are packed in a 12" record mailing box, with a cardboard insert for more safety.
Combined shipping: If buying multiple items I will weigh them and send you an invoice of the actual shipping cost.
Please note that I will be listing a couple thousands records in coming months.
