This item is not for sale. Gripsweat is an archive of past sales and auctions, none of the items are available for purchase.
For sale is an original near mint pressing of the 1996 album Carnival Boy by Tobin Sprout (of Guided by Voices). I bought this album new in 1996 or 1997 and have played it fewer than ten times probably.
I grade conservatively on a NM, VG+, VG, VG-, G scale. I don't use EX. For each record in my collection I sell, I clean it on my VPI recording cleaning machine before I put it up on eBay.
The record itself is near mint (NM). I've only played it a few times in the last 22 years. I played it recently on my Dual 1229 turntable with Shure m97xE cartridge and stylus, and it sounds like it is new.
The cover has a very small crease on the top right, and a very small amount of shelf wear (See photo.) Otherwise, it is great. I'll grade it as VG+.
I ship within the US through the USPS and the cost is $4.00 USD. I ship outside the US only through eBay's Global Shipping Program, and the international shipping cost is calculated through that Program.
