POLICIES:

Photos are always of actual item offered. All items are visually graded under a bright light by strict Goldmine standards. M- is my highest grade, and is applied to New Old Stock, as I had direct access to the contents of manufacturers' cartons from the mid-1970s onward. I have been a vinyl collector since 1964 and appreciate honest, conservative, and fair product descriptions. Smoke-free home.

Vinyl 45s are shipped separately from any picture sleeves or printed stock sleeves, and encased in protective polypropylene sleeves and extra recycled board.

All orders will be shipped within two to four business days of payment; please allow one to three weeks for domestic arrival.

In the unlikely event that an item needs to be returned, buyer must contact seller first; buyer pays return postage and any applicable sales, VAT, or GST taxes.

It is the buyer's responsibility to provide an accurate address.

I am an author of several books on rock music (look me up!—Walter Everett) and have retired after a 33-year teaching career at the University of Michigan. I'm just beginning to sell my collection of 8,900 records and CDs.

Thank you for your order!
