H.B. Barnum – Lonely Hearts / It Hurts Too Much To Cry – RCA
Victor 47-8112 (Vinyl appears near EX, though due to a couple very light marks
I graded a high VG+. Then I noticed a small crack on Lonely Hearts
side, extends into record approx. 20 seconds. Crack does not go all the way
through record and can’t be seen on other side. I play tested and no audible
effects in this area, though needle did noticeably move like passing over a
bump. On “It Hurts” side there is a manufacturing blemish that looks sort of
like an "oil" mark, about the size of my pinky fingernail. Absolutely no effect
on play, and not dirty or scuffed. Just want to provide all details and tried to capture some of this in photos. Could not get the crack to show in a photo, has to be held in just the right angle. I did point to where the crack ends. Also pointed out the described mark on other side. Sleeve is in very nice condition with
minimal signs of wear. Truly appears unplayed, and damage likely due to being in long-term storage -- Prior to my ownership!!)
Listing a batch of 45's, be sure to check my other auctions. A lot of these came from an ex-DJ, many promo labels and some appear to be in unplayed condition. I've sold several hundred from this collection and recently unearthed this box which appears to be the last of them. Grading scale as follows: NM, EX, VG+, VG. A handful in these listings are NM, perfect condition. Some EX, just a few light paper scuffs/ paper "scratches". Many are high VG+, with a few more light marks than EX. The rest are VG+ and a couple VG. Tried to capture condition in photos, sometimes difficult to get just the right light without washing everything out completely.
I'll gladly combine shipping. $3 for 1 to about 8 45's, Media Mail. I'll ship any other method requested, price adjusted. I make every effort to ensure buyer is not overpaying for shipping, only actual cost. If you happen to buy a bunch, I'll pack them up and get a shipping quote, then send invoice. I list records sporadically and am not a career eBay seller. I have just a couple 45 mailers left and will use these for any higher selling items, so most records will be shipped in sturdy cardboard. Always well packed and I've never had issues with damage due to improper packing. Check my feedback and you'll see all positives and accurate grading of records. I'm a vinyl collector myself and have 20+ years experience buying, selling, grading.
International shipping is only via Ebay's Global Shipping Program. That includes Canada. My apologies with the extra cost and I'm well aware of frustrations. No intention of having a bunch of "rules", just want to be clear and up front.
Happy to answer any further questions!
