This rare SPEAKING IN TONGUES robert rauschenburg edition is complete. These are starting to be really hard to find. They started out as clear vinyl pacakage and over time it appears all of these have yellowed. If you have seen one that hasn't let me know

PLEASE READ! I have used this same format for years so please LOOK AT THE PHOTOS! The photos tell all! I may be the ONLY seller who is not afraid to photograph the discs in SUNLIGHT which though it amplifies insignificant hair lines it is like you are holding it in your own hands to inspect. Or if there is no sun then I angle it under bright light for the same effect. If you use the right and left arrows under the main gallery photo you will find up to 11 more pictures which completely show all aspects of the lp. If you cannot look at my photos and glean almost everything you need to know about my lps then check the numerical grade also. You shouldn't even need a numerical grade but I provide one. Scroll down to the bottom of my listing for important info including discounts available!

I am still in Michigan and this might be the last batch of lps I  auction till the fall. I couldn't getrdone this Memorial weekend so I AM LISTING THE LAST OF IT TONIGHT TUESDAY May 30. About 300 or so total. Most all original pressings and many in excellent to near mint condition.......GOOD STUFF MAYNARD! all the sought after titles. I have my ULTRASONIC CLEANER with me and all lps will be cleaned before they are professionally packaged for shipment. I welcome international bidders but please CONTACT ME PRIOR TO BIDDING! I will give you an accurate quote on shipping/combined shipping cost to your country available.

PLEASE NOTE: PLEASE READ BELOW FOR DETAILED GRADING SCALE / SHIPPING POLICY and please....BEFORE bidding/buying or emailing questions please read complete description and look carefully at photos.

RECORD/ITEM FOR SALE:
  Talking Heads "SPEAKING IN TONGUES" Lp on the US Sire Records label. It is catalog #1-23771 stereo. It is dated 1983.

RECORD CONDITION/GRADE: The disc grades visually at about vg+/79. The labels are vg+/79. The cover is vg+/75 with scratches and marks and chips along the edges.

GRADING SCALE: I try to give an accurate representation of the record with a numerical value. I infer that the records should play their visual grade. I have given a numerical grade to correspond to typical record grading for the approximate percentage of wear. For example, excellent/85 means the disc should have about 15% wear/marks from a NEW record. Sealed lps should be new. By looking at the photos you can find band info and song titles.
MINT = 100
NEAR MINT = 94-99
EXCELLENT/NEAR MINT =90-93 (borderline near mint)
EXCELLENT = 84-89
VG+/EXCELLENT = 80-83 (borderline excellent)
VG+ = 74-79
VG/VG+ = 70-73 (borderline vg+)
VG =64-69
Look, I know how to grade. I try to make it like you are actually holding the item in your hand and with my photos and this numerical system allows you to get the best idea of exactly what you are buying. And really, isn't that what is truly important? I point out details and don't hide them like other ebay sellers! And yes I make mistakes especially cut and paste ones. Don't hesitate to inform me of my errors. I appreciate it. I also back EVERYTHING I sell with a full money back guarantee.

HOW TO GET FREE SHIPPING AND A DISCOUNT!
If you wait to pay and I combine all your purchases from a batch of auctions, I will AT LEAST only charge you for the actual shipping cost which is the postage and $2 for packaging. If you don't wait for  the combined invoice you will pay $2 per lp shipped PERIOD!

Spend $99 combined or more on this batch ending Sunday night JUNE 4th and Monday night JUNE 5th and NOW EXTENDED TO TUESDAY NIGHT JUNE 6th, I will include FREE DOMESTIC shipping. But again if you do not wait for a combined invoice with the free shipping and simply are in a hurry to pay then I will not go back and process a refund of your shipping PERIOD.

To get this discount you MUST WAIT for me to send the combined invoice with free shipping. That is the ONLY way it can be obtained. But again if you do not wait for a combined invoice with the free shipping and simply are in a hurry to pay then I will not go back and process a refund of your shipping PERIOD.
Finally after 48 years in the hobby I have come to the conclusion that most lp sellers are worse than used car salesmen. If you are buying from others and they fill their listings with hype and colored lights/text that hypnotize and take far away photos along with cropped out edges and spines and other damage...... and many don't have a return policy........Then you might consider buying from me instead? I don't hide anything but my displeasure with such sellers. PLUS YOUR LPS ARE CLEANED ON THE ULTRASONIC V-8. That alone is worth the price of admission!
