~ Leo Kottke 9 LP lot, names as shown in pictures from EX to one VG- rating

Greatest deal around at less than $5.00 an album but only when sold together!!

Vinyl grading- EX to VG-

The LP Chewing Pine is VG- due to many hairline marks

Ice Water and My Feet Are Smiling are VG+ except for track two of side two on My Feet that has a blemish causing an audible click each time the needle goes over it

The remaining LPs are considered EX to NM but rated only as EX for purposes of this listing

Cover rating-undetermined: please refer to the HQ pictures for your own assessment, as noted below.

FREE shipping limited to U.S. states only.

GRADING-

M (MINT): Sealed, never opened or played, new in original package.

NM (NEAR MINT): Near perfect copy, played only a few times. At worst it may have one or two insignificant flaws. This is the highest grade I give for a non-sealed (used) record.

EX (EXCELLENT): Clean copy, slight surface marks/hairlines, cover has minor defaults.

VG++=More surface marks, minor flaws, or cover wear, minor edge wear (cover). Nothing serious but is not graded EX because of few minor defaults.

VG+= Vinyl-could have the following: some light marks, some noise between songs, a pop, tick or very small scratch. Still a great playback. Cover- could have the following: small seam split, a little wear, bent corner.

VG= Vinyl- could have the following: a few scratches, some noise from marks. Still worthwhile having, playback is not ruined. Cover- could have the following: large seam split, noticeable wear.

These LPs are grouped together for one low price that includes free shipping in especially designed LP boxes that accommodate up to 5 LPs.

The ratings for these LPs are made as a result of a visual inspection only, prior to shipping I will play the LPs to make sure they perform as rated or higher.  If there happens to be an unseen flaw which results in one of grouped LPs not performing as noted, I will contact the buyer to point out the flaw and offer to cancel and immediately refund the purchase price or should the buyer prefer to go on with the sale then either reduce the purchase price for the lot or ship only the unaffected LPs for a fraction of the total price, based on the total number of records; i.e., 3 records in the lot with one affected then reduce by 1/3; 5 records in lot with one affected reduce by 1/5 and so on.

In certain cases these LPs may also be offered individually either in an Auction or Buy It Now format.  The greater savings is always in the lot format but as you may already have a number of albums in your library you may only need the individually priced item.

Please study the pictures of the album covers carefully as I will not be noting the individual flaws of said covers.  Accordingly, some covers may exhibit slight to obvious storage wear or age; more specifically, they may have the beginning of ring wear or writing, stickers, stamps, cut corners, neatly taped seams or hole punches as well as more obvious ring wear, scuffing, rounded corners, writing or conspicuously taped seams.  In cases of double LPs with fold-out covers, the same principle applies to the inside of the cover.

In most cases these LPs come with the original inner sleeves which in some cases contain pictures of the band members or song lyrics; if this is important to you please be sure to ask me before buying; don’t wait until after you receive the LP to point out you only wanted it if it contained the original record sleeve as this will not be a reason for a refund of the item price.

I will gladly answer any question and supply additional pictures as requested but please be patient as selling on eBay is not my only business and at times I am traveling and do not have access to the LPs.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for your interest in these items, I will be updating and adding to my inventory monthly so please come back often or simply drop me a line if you are looking for a certain album which I may have but have not listed yet.
