ALL ALBUMS PROVIDED IN A PROTECTIVE SLEEVE

Description:  First Santa Maria Pressing!!  Easy VG+!  Some surface marks.  Sleeve is VG with a record saw cut right corner, some creasing top and bottom.  Some wear along edges and corners.  Inner Sleeve NOT Original, it is from Catalog# NBLP 7121 (See pictures)

Grade:  VG+/VG

Descriptions for this set are below:

(VG+) Some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear, slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but  barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.  

(VG) - Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, slight seam split, marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner + may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached.

(First Press) - An original pressing typically refers to a vinyl record that was made from the initial batch of lacquers in the production process and cut from the original master recordings. As they are the first records to be pressed, these are the definitive editions and best sounding records.

Please read entire item description above and notes below before bidding/buying impulsively, as there may be a specific mention of detail or wear on the vinyl that you may not have had the time to read about, yet, I have described.  My goal is a happy transaction!

Play-Testing:  I test most of my Records by playing them completely through unless (NM-) (in order to protect their quality) Sealed or Large Collections before listing.  All Play-Grading is available at no charge, allow 1 day for larger collections (3+) If we find a skip or VG quality we will disclose and offer a refund.  We always state either Play-Tested, Visual Tested or Spot Tested.

Surface Marks:  Surface marks can be smudges or light scratches.  I do not consider these less than VG+ unless they affect the sound.  Please be comfortable if you receive one from me with them, these are used records.  I don't sell records which skip.

Record Covers:  I try and grade covers and records as one set but oftentimes the cover may not be in as good of a condition as the record.  Please look at pictures I include.  I will provide two grades if significant in my description above. Extremely damaged original covers are not for sale and are replaced with Generic covers.

Generic Record Covers:  Generic covers are well-made jackets with a circle viewing window.  They are as pictured and in most cases glossy black.  My Records with generic covers are usually VG+ or better with very few graded as VG.  These are often times hidden gems at great prices!!

Inner Sleeves:  I do not mention nor grade these unless they have specific characteristics.  I provide a replacement inner sleeve if the one I have has extensive damage.

Grading:  The detailed grading I use is Goldmine Standard/eBay Standard.  

Shipping:  I will combine shipping, please contact me ahead of time.  Items which are returned as undeliverable will be charged up to a 20% restocking fee depending on how long the album has not been in our inventory.  I really don't want this to happen to anyone - please ensure your address is correct!!

Satisfaction Guarantee:  If you are unhappy, I offer a return period. I also encourage you to contact me via email if you find the record is not as I represented. 

About Me:  I am THAT person who is known for scavenging through Garage Sales and Estate Sales - hunting for the ever elusive "hidden" gem of a vinyl!  I scour through my purchases, excited like it is Christmas every time.  Disappointed when I have to throw away the ones that just don't make the "grade", always wondering "what if" it played better, knowing it would NEVER be duplicated on a Pandora's list or on Apple's Music.  Vinyl records are more than just the artist belting out his favorite tune, without all the electronic dubbing - it is the memories of days gone by, favorite songs that made us laugh, sigh in attraction, maybe party a little too much, dance a little too much or even cry a little too much.  So enjoy what you find here, give the old records a spin and take yourself back to those yester years when somehow life was just "different".  Thanks for stopping by!!
