                Here is the 45 "Rain" b/w "Paperback Writer" by The Beatles,  Capitol 5651, 196-.  Many other picture sleeves will be listed, Beatles, Rolling Stones and more, check them out!

Vinyl is VG/VG - Quite a few light scratches/paper marks, a couple fingerprints.  Labels look VG+, some very light wear.  Nice gloss.  

Sleeve is VG/VG - Some ring wear/imprint, some crease/stress lines lines at corners and edges, a few light fold/crease lines on front and back.  Number stamp on front.  Split down half of left side, a couple very tiny rips at opening.

As a collector, I try to provide as much information and a description of each record’s condition as possible.  Unless a sound sample is posted (always of the record you are bidding on), records are graded visually.  My grading system is as follows:

M – Mint – Unopened or just opened.  I very rarely use this grade, I reserve it for the most pristine copies.

NM (+&-) – Near Mint – Record has been treated with care.  Free of notable scratches or abrasions.  Label is generally in great condition.   

VG++ (or EX) – Very Good ++ - May have a couple light surface scratches or scuffs, but is very listenable and should not disturb play.  Label may have slight wear, writing or marks.

VG (+&-) – Very Good – May have more than a few light scratches or a couple heavier scratches or scuffs.  May play with some crackling, but not enough to overpower the music.  Sleeve may have a seam split, ring wear, writing, etc.

G (+&-)– Good – Record may have multiple scratches or small gouge(s).  May have significant crackling that may overpower the music, but still listenable.  Label may be torn.

F (+&-) – Fair – Record has significant damage.

Shipping:

Within the continental U.S. is a flat rate of $4.00 via USPS first class, or Media Mail for albums.  

Shipping within North America (Canada and Mexico) is $9 via USPS first class for 45s or Media Mail for LPs.

International shipping is a flat rate of $15 for 45’s and $18 for albums via USPS first class. 

I do combine shipping.  Up to five 45rpm records can be shipped for the initial shipping cost (or 3 with picture sleeves), domestic and internationally.  I can ship 2 LP's for initial shipping cost, also domestically or internationally.  5 LP's can be sent for $5 domestically, or $26 internationally (provided the weight does not exceed limit for First Class). I use only high-quality shipping materials designed for mailing records.  If your purchase is over $50, I encourage insurance.  

Payment:

 Payment must be received within 3 days of purchase to insure 1 day handling time, but I will accept payment after 5 days.  If your payment is going to be later than this, please let me know.

   Returns:

 I do accept returns for a full refund if the record is broken, not the one you purchased, or grossly misrepresented.  If you are unsatisfied with your order, PLEASE contact me before mailing the record back or leaving negative feedback.  I cannot be responsible, however, for items lost in transit or in customs, so please be aware of the customs processes’ in your country and consider insurance if this is a concern.    

Thanks for looking!
