  >>> Any of the LP's I list here on EBAY are from my own private collection and have been well cared for. The majority of them have only been played a few times. Since LP's could not be played in automobiles, as soon as I acquired a new LP I would immediately record it to cassette tape. The LP was then safely stored to preserve it's condition & quality. There are a small number of my LP's that suffered some minor damages to the jackets while moving (several times), but any damage will be shown & described in the listing.  *I also clean the LP's in a highly modified Spin Clean Wet Wash System, then place them in a New Clear Anti-Static Sleeve. Any original inner sleeves (and other inserts) are always included with the LP's.  I try to do my best to grade the LP & outer Jacket / Cover according to Goldmine Standards but there's always a possibility I may miss something.  If you notice something I clearly missed, please contact me first before opening a case with EBAY,   Thanks !    

   For shipping, all LP's are bubble wrapped and packed in an approved corrugated LP shipping carton.  

    *** ALL LP PRICES INCLUDE FREE MEDIA MAIL SHIPPING TO ANYWHERE IN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES ! ***

    Here is an Excellent Album Package with a "NEAR MINT" Vinyl LP.  This is "ORION THE HUNTER's" 1984 Debut LP (and only LP, which is Basically "BOSTON 3"). This LP is on the Portrait Records Label (Div.of CBS), Catalog # BFR 39239.  ***This IS NOT a Re-Issue or a Music Club Issue, this is an Original 1984 1st 'US' Press,  mastered by MASTERDISK & manufactured by CBS at their Carrollton, GA plant

  This LP has 9 Tracks including: "So You Ran", "Dark And Stormy", "Stand Up" & "Joanne".

            GRADING of Individual Items: 

  The Outer Cover / Jacket is NOT in shrink, is still pretty glossy but has a few minor "blemishes". The Spine is VG+ (to EX) with a few light scuffs, there are very small, very minor scuffs and very minor dings on the corners, the front has a tiny scratch and there are a few very small, minor creases. There is no major damage like rips, tears, holes, seam splits, saw slits, cut corners, etc.   All In All, Jacket Grade = VG+ (probably better) !

  The Vinyl LP, played only once, is super clean, looks brand new with full shine & luster. If you hold Side 1 just right in bright light you can see what looks like a barely visible superficial pressing mark, rub, smudge ??? (can't even be called a scuff).  Vinyl LP Grade = Near Mint !

  The Printed Inner Sleeve is still pretty flat but there are a few corner creases from previous folds, there's a 1/2" split on one side, a 4" split on the other side and 1" split on the bottom.   Sleeve Grade = VG, VG+ or Better !    ZOOM on photos for better details ! !
