Artist: The Beatles  Title:   Introducing the Beatles  Label/Number: Vee-Jay VJLP-1062 (M) Jacket condition: VG+ Record condition: VG Notes: The cover is in nice condition with a little light ring wear and some very minor seam and corner wear. The cover photo is sharp and clear. As noted, the labels are original oval, colorband versions with "The Beatles" above the label. They are in nice condition with just a couple of light spindle marks and a tiny flake or two around the hole. The vinyl has good gloss but has enough light scuffs and scratches to warrant grading it down some to VG. It plays very well with a little bit of surface noise, mostly between cuts. There may be lots of additional details of interest so don't hesitate to message any questions.  Grading: Grading is usually only visual for VG+ or better items, although if time allows I may play to verify the quality of a pressing or just to hear the music. VG items are usually only listed if they are fairly hard-to-find items and are always play graded. Regardless of the grade, if I do play the LP, I note the results in the item description. I use Goldmine standards with Ebay's EX grade added for items NOT QUITE up to NM.  Please read the notes above as I try to note anything that might influence the grading one way or another. I try to be conservative and grade as though I were buying the record and hope my feedback speaks well for my grading. Mono (M) or Stereo (S) is noted after catalog number. Don't hesitate to e-mail questions.    Mailing and costs: Domestic shipping is via USPS, media mail with delivery confirmation. I ship in cardboard mailers made specifically for records with additional cardboard pads for added protection. Shipping and handling charges are a flat $5.00 for the first LP and $0.50 per additional LP. Overseas shipping will be via eBay International Standard Delivery. The price will be the actual shipping costs plus $1.50 for the mailer and pads noted above. I know that customs charges are problematic but, sorry to say, I cannot lower the value on the customs form below the purchase price. I always mail in a poly sleeve with the record outside the jacket. If there's an original inner sleeve I also remove the record from that and put it in a plain sleeve for mailing. That way, there are no seam splits on either the jacket or the sleeve due to any handling in the mail.  I'm always happy to combine shipping costs for multiple purchases.
