VINYL Condition: Vinyl is in absolutely EXCELLENT condition. The majority of my records have not seen a record needle since the late 70's or early 80's other than a quick 30 second test for this auction to preserve the listening experience. I have no doubt you'll be very happy. However, please understand grading is subjective. What one may consider "excellent", another may consider "VG+", etc. Therefore grading of excellent may vary up or down one grade. Any record of this age is bound to have the slightest of surface noise in some spots (most likely quiet spots and transitions) - So be reasonable and you'll be very happy. No doubt in my mind you'll be VERY happy with this record.



JACKET Condition: SEE PHOTOS. Email with any questions prior to bidding



Please feel free to ask any questions before bidding.



I am happy to take additional photos.



Shipping : I ship as fast as I can (usually within 24 hours of receiving payment) For some reason Ebay is putting "Guaranteed delivery by (and inserting their own random date) *PLEASE IGNORE THAT. I have no clue why they are putting that on the auction. MEDIA MAIL shipping normally takes a week but sometimes it is a little longer. Will ship to US ONLY. I’m human. I care and I want everyone to be happy but I also want to spend time with my family over the weekend so if you pay over the weekend I will ship on Monday. Please remember - Media Mail normally takes about a week to arrive to most parts of the US but I cannot control the speed of USPS (Neither can eBay)




99 out of 100 people will be EXTREMELY happy with this record. I do not wish to deal with picky collectors who will try to find a flaw in everything. If that is you, please find this elsewhere. Simply put, I collect and sell records because I love music and the nostalgia, I refuse to deal with anyone who inspects records with a white glove. In my opinion, the record sounds AWESOME but we are dealing with vinyl here. It is not digital. There is bound to be surface noise in quiet spots on any record that is nearly 50 years old. I also do my absolute best to show any flaws in the covers in both the description and the photos. I am human, so if I were to miss a minor detail it would not be on purpose. I am more than happy to take any additional photos. Just message me! If you have a history of complaining please don’t waste my time. I am selling a lot of rare records and I’m not going to deal with anyone who may attempt a bait and switch return. There are absolutely no returns or refunds. All records are sold as is.



With that being said, I only sell records I would personally want to own. I like to think that I under-grade my records but everyone has a very different opinion on grading. Therefore gradings may vary up or down a grade. I try VERY hard to make sure everyone is happy. I wrap my records in thick bubble wrap, not the flimsy cheaper kind and I receive emails all the time complimenting the care that goes into my packaging. I have NEVER had a record damaged in shipping and throughout all my years of selling I have had ONE impossible to please customer. That one person is the reason you now see the disclaimer on grading and the no-refund policy.


Thank you for looking at my auction!
