General Info: I inherited all of these record albums, so I have no investment in them, and tried to price them way below what the same LP is currently listed for on eBay. My goal is to get rid of them all as quickly as possible, and I am happy to receive offers. I am not a record dealer or collector; and, prior to this, the only thing I knew about records is that they were round and had a hole in the middle. I've done a little research as to grading and terminology and have tried my best to be accurate and complete in my descriptions; but please be aware that this is all quite unfamiliar to me, and if you are unhappy with your purchase for any reason whatsoever, I would be very glad to give you a full and immediate refund. Please feel free to ask any specific questions that you might have, and I'll try my best to answer. To the best of my knowledge, all of these LPs are original issues, although not necessarily the first pressing. Unfortunately, I have no way to play a record to "test" its quality. Thanks for understanding.
General Description For All Albums: All items are visually graded (conservatively) record \ cover using the standard Osborne/Goldmine system (when only one grade is shown, it is for both the vinyl and the cardboard). The LP may or may not have an original inner sleeve/liner; however, if the liner is unique to that particular album (with lyrics or whatever), I have tried to include it in the photo (the same holds true for any special "inserts"). I believe that all of the "still sealed" LPs are original factory sealed albums that have simply never been opened; however, if I have any doubts, then I will mention that the record may be a "resealed" copy. Some of these LPs may have a name rubber-stamped on the inside of the cover (and on the inside of the sleeve/liner) where the record itself goes; additionally, some of them have an odd "V"-shaped mark that has been etched into the trail-off dead wax area. Since these things are not particularly noticeable, nor affect the music, they have not been noted; however, their existence would preclude an LP from receiving a grade of MINT (which would have no flaws at all). The same is true for "cut-out" notches or holes, promotional stamps/stickers, or writing on the label or cover (all of which would be included in the description); they can't be on a MINT album, but may not preclude a grade of NM.
Specific Description For This Particular Album: The photo, title line & condition descriptions above pretty much say it all. All four are original issues from the 1960's. Kinks-Size (Reprise RS 6158 Stereo) has VG+/- vinyl and a VG+/- cover (a little bit of writing, but no rips or splits); Kinkdom (Reprise RS 6184 Stereo) has NM+/- vinyl and a VG+/- cover (a sticker on the back, but no rips or splits); Face to Face (Reprise RS 6228 Stereo) has NM+/- vinyl and a NM+/- (Mono) cover still in its original shrink wrap; and The Live Kinks (Reprise RS 6260 Stereo) has M to NM vinyl and a NM- to VG++ cover (minor wear but no marks, rips or splits). All 4 albums have the original pink, gold and green labels with a steamboat.
Please Note: As you may know, eBay now requires a shipping cost be entered when listing an item for international sale, and it is impossible to accurately do so without knowing the final destination. The price that I have entered is just a guess to cover the cost to anywhere in the world, and you will not be charged any more than that; however, if the actual shipping cost is less, then you will be issued a refund for the difference (we never add any extra for packaging or handling), so you will pay for the actual postage only.
Fine Print: I prefer PayPal, but will gladly accept all forms of payment, and ship everything by USPS in protective packaging (other shipping methods are available). Shipping will be combined whenever possible. Thanks for stopping by.
