Artist: Elvis Presley Title: For LP Fans Only Label/Number: RCA LPM-1990 (M) Jacket condition: VG Record condition: VG Notes: The cover is a bit worn with some light ring wear, some seam and corner wear, and a light scratch on the left side of the front. Both seams and the spine have some fraying and a few small splits. The top and bottom seams both have about 2 inch splits at the opening that are neatly taped. As noted, the labels are original "Long Play" versions and are in nice condition with just a couple of light spindle marks. The vinyl has good gloss but has quite a few light scuffs and scratches that warrant grading it down some to VG. It plays very well. As an added bonus the record is still contained in its original RCA inner sleeve. 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.
