This LP is Excellent to Mint-. RARE.

IMPORTANT ALL BUYERS READ BELOW.

These LPs have not been played for over 20 years. Unless otherwise noted, they are Good+, minimal surface noise, not bad “pops” and definitely no skips. I grade by visual inspection and have not preened (cleaned) for photographs. I do not have time to play each LP. I do the best I can in judging condition visually. Most folks agree with my visual opinion. If you are picky, consider the LPs a grade down. I already do that when making my  posting, so you will be two grades down and hopefully will be satisfied. I will return all LPs upon request and will pay for return postage, but I also elect to prohibit further sales. Covers will show storage and moving (college dorm) wear, most have original sleeves and a few still have inserts.

I am selling the LPs, and if Cover condition is overly important to you, you need to ask questions. The albums have been moved at least 20 times in mass through the years. Many Covers/Jackets and inner sleeves have edge wear and splits, and many were repaired 20 + years ago. Due to comments, all Covers are graded to lowest though many are excellent. The repair tape was masking tape which proved a better choice than cellophane tape. Please ask specific questions concerning covers.

I am selling my personal album collection of almost fifty years, about 3000, begin with 1967. I never lent out LPs, always used a good turn-table, never used a drop spindle, always preened LPs before playing, and always put back into sleeve/cover before playing next album. I am going from A to Z and have an excellent collection of obscure “classic” rock bands from 1967 to 1980s, mostly early stuff. These LPs have not been played for over 20 years. Unless otherwise noted, they are Good+, minimal surface noise, not bad “pops” and definitely no skips. The albums have been moved at least 20 times in mass through the years.

The repair tape was masking tape which proved a better choice than cellophane tape. Please ask specific questions concerning covers. I am sell the LPs and covers are secondary to my listing. I will mention if cover particularly worn or fantastic shape when needed, but I will not spend the time to analyze each cover for particulars. I grade LPs by visual inspection and have not preened (cleaned) for photographs. I have missed a Pop I am told. Not on purpose is all I can say. Covers will show storage and moving (college dorm) wear, most have original inner paper sleeve and a few still have inserts.

I am not taking massive pictures because I know what I am offering and you can be assured what you see is as I describe. Many, many will be classified as Mint – because again, these LPS were cared for since I purchased and some were hardly ever played.

All Payments due within three (3) days unless communicated to me PLEASE.  If you wish to accumulate to save on postage, that is fine so long as you communicate and will pay every three (3) weeks or before.

ATTENTION – PROBLEMS: Please email me if you have any issues with our transaction prior to filing a complaint. I have been a buyer for 10+ years and now also sell, so I will work with you to resolve a legitimate complaint. Too many folks “fly off the handle” without asking for assistance.

ATTENTION – SHIPPING CONDITIONS: IF YOU WANT TO COMBINE MULTIPLE LOTS OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, YOU MUST EMAIL ME AND MAKE YOUR REQUESTED TERMS. IF NOT, ALL SALES ARE DUE WITHIN THREE (3) DAYS.

All shipping, unless otherwise stated, will be U.S. domestic postage, First Class, with tracking, media mail with tracking where applicable. If lot is stated as economy shipping, it will be by regular mail, properly packaged, but buyer assumes all risk of damage or non-delivery. You can always ask for a quote for First Class, with tracking.

If shipping is not advertised as “Free shipping”, combined shipping will be extended. Ask before you pay for multiple lots because paying after the fact of purchase voids my obligation to do such. I always take shipments to the post office; never leave in the mailbox.  Shipping will include proper packaging materials (which have a costs) and said transportation to the post office.

All buyers are advised to inquire on insurance if shipped by regular mail or if over $400.00 which is included with domestic U.S. First Class mail and tracking.

Foreign bidders should inquire on shipping/handling prior to bidding. I add at least $3.00 over postage for travel cost to the U.S. Post Office, waiting in line, and filling out declaration paperwork. If you are part of the international shipping network threw eBay, these fees do not apply but be aware, the eBay Global Shipping Program does not allow for combined shipping so you will pay their fees for each item. If you want me to accept purchases threw that program, let me know and I will activate for you but all previous multiple foreign (outside US) purchasers are complaining.

If any of these conditions are not acceptable to you, please reconsider bidding on my lots.
