Artist: The Drifters Title: Rockin' & Driftin'  Label/Number: Atlantic 8022 (M) Jacket condition: VG+ Record condition: VG Notes: The cover is in pretty nice condition with some light ring wear and some minor seam and corner wear. The original owner wrote his name in ink on the top of the back cover. The labels are original black and silver versions and are in pretty nice condition with a few light spindle marks. The vinyl is bright and glossy but has quite a few light surface scratches that lead me to grade it down some to VG.  It does have one "feelable" scratch on Side 2, Cut 7 ("Steamboat") that creates a few light ticks. As an added bonus the record is still contained in its original Atlantic 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 Ground Advantage with delivery confirmation and insurance coverage up to $100.00. I ship in cardboard mailers made specifically for records with additional cardboard pads for added protection. Shipping and handling charges are a flat $6.00 for up to 2 LP’s and $1.00 for each additional after 2 with a maximum charge of $10.00. 

Overseas shipping is via eBay International Shipping. Cost will be calculated based upon destination. For combined shipping add $1.00 for each additional LP.

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.
