Description

1985 Sade PROMISE vinyl LP album, Sade's 2nd studio album released on Portrait/CBS record label.  Jacket cover in VG++ condition with shrink wrap still intact.  Original lyric inner sleeve contained within.  The album is being graded Near Mint based upon visuals.  It has NOT been play/sound graded.  Please study all photos and my grading system below.  Thanks for taking a look!

 

M (mint) Sealed, since it is sealed the record is presumed mint. Sold AS IS -- sight unseen since sealed.

NM (near mint) Opened, the album shows nearly no signs of being played, a spindle mark, or light mark where record has been removed from sleeve.
Jacket Cover: NM - The cover may have minor wear, but no bends, or creases or writing on it.

VG++ or /EX (excellent) There are a few light marks but the album has been well preserved.

Very Good (VG)

VG records have more obvious imperfections than a VG+ record.   Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches that are deep enough to feel with a fingernail.
Jacket Cover: VG covers will show evident signs of being handled.   Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside. More creases visible and seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides. Someone might have written on it or there may be a price tag or other labeling on it.

Please take time to thoroughly read my seller Payment, Shipping, Terms of Sale, About Us and Contact Us policies listed below.  Thanks.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

Payment Payment is expected within 3 days close of auction. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO PAY WITHIN THE 3 DAY TIME PERIOD -- PLEASE RECONSIDER PLACING YOUR BID. I do not mean to sound harsh in making that statement, but I have in recent months encountered an excessive number of buyers who do not adhere to my payment policy and in many cases unfortunately have not paid me at all.  Shipping All items ship via US Priority Mail unless otherwise noted. Items will ship within 5 business days of receipt of payment. Please note that my local Post Office has shortened hours on Saturdays. I normally DO NOT make trips to the Post Office on Saturdays.   Terms of Sale

Items will ship within 5 business days of receipt of payment.  Payment is expected within 3 days of close of the auction and if not received within 3 days an automatic unpaid item case is opened by eBay.  I understand that sometimes emergency situations arise, therefore, if there is a problem where you cannot remit payment within the 3 day time period, please at least contact me to let me know. If you have a problem with the sales transaction PLEASE contact me immediately so that we can resolve the problem prior to posting negative feedback or filing a claim with eBay.  

 

 

International Bidders - I will NOT mark as "Gift" or falsify the value for customs purposes. Please do NOT ask me to do this. I accept returns only on items that may have been inadvertently misrepresented in description.  Items must be returned within 14 days of buyer receipt.  Buyer must notify me immediately of intent to return the item. Please do not return the item without first giving me notice of your intentions! The item must be returned to me in the same condition it was in prior to buyer receipt. 

 

If you are interested in an item and feel I have not described the item in enough detail,  do not hesitate to e-mail me through eBay's messaging system with questions!  I encourage interested bidders to ask questions BEFORE bidding and please do not wait until the final day of sale!  

About Us Mostly all of my items come from estate sales, yard sales, consignment stores, other dealers, auctions, and my own personal collections. I try my very best to accurately describe the items I offer. If I am not really sure about the best method of cleaning an item I will leave it as found. Most of the items are antique or vintage and most always USED and because of that I cannot guarantee whether an item has been exposed to pets, smoke or other allergens. Please know that I typically begin ALL of my auctions with LOW starting bids. This practice in NO way reflects the quality of the item. I do this with hope and faith the bidder recognizes quality and has knowledge of the items worth. Please check my feedback to see how other buyers view my products and services. Contact Us If for any reason you have a question about an item please feel free to contact me through eBay messaging. I will try my best to respond to you as quickly as possible. I would encourage your questions well in advance of the last day of the sale. I answer e-mails usually within 24 hours.
