Artist: The Turtles Title: It Ain't Me Babe Label/Number: White Whale WW-111 (M) Jacket condition: NM Record condition: NM Notes: As noted the cover is still in its original shrink wrap. There is a "bb" hole in the top left corner and a small original price sticker on the top right, but nothing to warrant grading it down from NM. The labels are in very nice condition with one light spindle mark on Side 2. The vinyl is bright and glossy and shows no signs of wear.  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.  The shrink is torn in a couple of places and the cover has seen a little bit of wear. In addition the top seam is split for about 3 inches at the opening. Overall I've graded the cover down just a little to EX. The labels are in very nice condition with no flaws of note. The vinyl is bright and glossy with just a few light surface scuffs that lead me to grade it down just little to EX.  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.

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 $.50 per additional LP. Overseas shipping is via USPS First Class Mail International. Cost will be as calculated based upon destination. 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.
