  >>> 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 ! ***

    ***If you would prefer a faster delivery method you can upgrade to my 2nd shipping option, First Class Delivery, for an additional $3.30.
