Description:
Up for your consideration is the next in a series of unique discs, this one by Child. The record plays well.
Several unique things about this item: 
Firstly, this disc retains the original shine with some very light marks grading by sight in normal room light.  I feel it is also slightly dished.  I'm sure if you took this and put it under a 1000 watt bulb, you'd probably find something that makes it less than mint.  If you're that kind of collector, let me suggest this auction is not for you. 
I took the time to play it and found the tracks to audibly average close to half way between VG+(excellent) and Near Mint.  Side 1 played better than side 2.  You can assign your own grade based on my comments and the grading scale shown below.  A track-by-track detailed analysis is provided below. 
So this is your chance to own a unique item at a reasonable price. Bid early and often so you don't miss out on this item!   

It is further described below, please take the time to read before bidding.

I am using the Goldmine scale of G=Good(1), VG = Very Good(2), VG+ = Very Good Plus(excellent)(3),  NM = Near Mint(4) when grading the disc(s).  

Here is a summary of the record(s):
Artist: Child Title: Self-titled Record: Black vinyl with the original shine with some very light marks, maybe slightly dished, grading by sight in normal room light
Cover:  (SEE SCANS!) Light general/ring wear front and back.  Corners are creased and there are a couple longer up to 3" light creases on the bottom spine corner.  No stickers.  There is a magic marker small square on the front inside cover, upper left corner (see scan).   Some very light seam wear.  This is a gatefold cover (it opens up).  The inside right cover is unglued along the bottom edge about 3/4 of the way.  Rate the cover VG. 
Labels: Black with silver print, white "Jubilee", multi-color around Jubilee.  No pen/pencil marks, some spindle marks.  Some center hole wear on side one.   Inner sleeve:  A generic, white sleeve with a folded corner. Trailing wax: Side 1: "JGS 8029A-1 LW Bistway". Side 2: "JGS 8029B-1 LW Bell Sound Bistway". Using a magnifying glass as best I can make it out! 
Comments: I found the tracks to audibly AVERAGE around half way between VG+(excellent) and Near Mint.  You can assign your own grade based on my detailed track analysis below.  An unusual and rare addition to your collection.   

Side 1: Comments: Hold on I'm comin' - Some very, very light pops and very, very light surface noise (3.4). Little light - Some very light pops (3.45) Aunt Millie - Some very, very light surface noise (3.8) You'll never walk alone - Some very, very light surface noise (3.8)
Side 2:Comments: Soft rocks - Some very light to light pops and some very light surface noise (3.0) Exodus - A very light to light surface noise witih some very light pops (3.1) A child begins to cry - Some very, very light surface noise (3.7) Ol' man river - Some very light to light pops.  One heavy pop towards the end.  Some very light surface noise (2.9)



Additional criteria I use when audibly grading records for people:

NM(4) = absolutely nothing wrong at all (very rarely happens--I've even opened sealed records and they don't play Near Mint)  3.5-3.9 = very, very light surface noise  3.1-3.4 = very light surface noise, very light pops  VG+(3) = up to light pops and light surface noise (below this, one's enjoyment is affected, very subjective)  VG(2) = up to medium pops and moderate surface noise  G(1) = up to heavy pops and heavy surface noise 


I normally ship 33 1/3 RPM discs in 13"x13"x2" boxes.   Weight with box is about 1 pounds 8 ounces.  .  
Shipping is:  $4.67 Media Rate (1-2 pounds) + $1.50 box/tape = $6.17.  I am shipping to you at cost.  It actually costs me $$ because e-bay will charge me 10-15% of the shipping as well.  If you feel the shipping is too much, please look elsewhere.  

Buyer pays shipping/handling. Standard method within U.S. is Media Rate, $6.17.  This includes online tracking which enables you to track shipping of your package online.  NO FOREIGN SHIP ON THIS ONE!.  Insurance / other methods of shipping cost extra.  Payment received within ten days of auction ending.
