Artist: The Rolling Stones Title:  England's Newest Hit Makers Label/Number: London LL 3375 (M) Jacket condition: NM Record condition: VG+ Notes: The cover is an early version with the free photo ad on the bottom left corner. As noted, the cover is still in its original shrink wrap and, as such, is in NM condition. The labels are in pretty nice condition with a few light spindle marks. The vinyl still has some gloss but it has many, many, mostly surface scratches that warrant grading it down to F. Side 1 plays surprisingly well. Side 2 has a couple of "feelable" scratches across Cuts 2-5 that create a light tick for most of the playback on those cuts. There are no skips on my turntable. The minimum bid is set based upon the rare condition of the early version of the cover.  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 $.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.
