This item is not for sale. Gripsweat is an archive of past sales and auctions, none of the items are available for purchase.
I am a 40+ year collector of LPs and 45s from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. All of the LPs and 45s I have listed on eBay are from my personal collection.
I have also been an audiophile for 40 years (analog only). The LPs and 45s listed have been play-graded on high quality equipment (turntable, tone-arm, cartridge, pre-amp, amp, speakers, and subwoofers). My system picks up the slightest surface noise on vinyl; i.e., ticks, pops, hiss, and sibilants due to groove wear. The standard I have used in adding a record to my collection has been how well it played (no surface noise present) in addition to how it looked.
The outer jacket of this LP has been stored in a polyethylene sleeve protector since I acquired it. I also removed the LP from the original Emitex inner sleeves and stored the LP in a custom rice paper sleeve while keeping the original Emitex inner sleeve in the LP jacket.I have used strict grading standards of the UK publication Record Collector. I have described the flaws, if any, on the labels, vinyl, and sleeves. All the LPs I have listed will play as good as, or better than, they look. I hope you find something you can add to your collection and enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed listening to vinyl records for the last 58 years.
Your satisfaction is guaranteed. If you are not satisfied with an item for any reason, you may return it for a full refund of your purchase price.
Payment, Shipping, and Returns:
Please do not remit payment until you receive an invoice. The buyer is responsible for all shipping costs. All boxes and other shipping materials are new. Each LP is carefully packaged in custom made LP mailing boxes with new cardboard stiffeners (the exact size of the mailing box) on the top and bottom of the LP so it is tight and secure within the mailer. The record is removed from the sleeve cover, except in the case of sealed LPs, to avoid seam splits in transit. Shipping costs include only the actual costs of shipping and the required shipping materials. Shipping services within the US are USPS Media Mail. The shipping cost for this double LP within the US is $6.00. If the buyer wishes it shipped via USPS Priority Mail, the cost is $12.00
Shipping costs vary widely outside the US. International shipping services are either USPS International or Federal Express International. For all locations outside the US please contact me for an exact shipping cost. The buyer is responsible for any customs or import duties. All shipping services include a signed-for receipt. Satisfaction guaranteed. Notification of intent to return an LP must be made within 48 hours of receiving the LP and must be returned to me within 7 days of receipt. Shipping costs are not refundable and the buyer pays return shipping. A returned LP must be packaged in the same manner in which it was received and I must receive it in the same condition as it was received by the buyer.
