Our albums are often difficult to find as we have continued to discover over the past 50 or so years. Please understand the beginning bid prices are based on their rarity, and the buy-it-now prices on comparable current levels on eBay and other sources (Discogs, Amazon, etc.). Also please keep in mind we provide combined reduced mailing costs. Packaging info is stated below. Our twentieth series of auctioning records is centering more on vinyl that capture sounds housed in covers that range from stylishly cheesy to frankly provocative containing a wide spectrum of music genres (jazz, R&R, soul, folk, classical, island, jungle, etc.) and spoken word, predominantly comedy; and finally albums of unusual distinction that are unique or interesting (psychedelic, mood-associated, inspirational, cover art-associated (Steinweiss, Warhol, Dali, etc). We continue to offer: foreign (primarily British) R&R, classic R&B, mostly from the mid 50s through the early 80s, as well as a variety of Jazz, especially from the 1950s and ‘60s on classic labels (Riverside, Blue Note, Prestige, Clef, etc.); We also continue to offer less frequently: American Rock & Roll; collector’s Soundtracks; Blues; and additional Autographed Albums included within any of these genres (R&B, R&R, Jazz, Blues,…). Many autographed items were signed in person and obtained from individuals who stated as such. Some come with COAs. With regard to signed articles, you will have a 30 day guarantee period to pass JSA & PSA/DNA authentication one week post shipping. For those signed articles that do not pass authentication, upon return of the signed article your money plus shipping cost will be returned to you.

PLEASE READ COMPLETELY: Ebay has 2 CATEGORIES for listing records: New and USED. The records that we list are USED. They still may be sealed or unopened in which case we refer to those as being mint (M) or still sealed (SS). A grade of "MINT" is the closest a used record will be to new. The further the grade deviates from Mint, the less it will look (and sound) like a new record, and the more WEAR it will have.     

* PLEASE KEEP IN MIND GRADING OF RECORDS ARE IN ESSENSE A SUBJECTIVE "BEST ASSESSMENT".

* ALL ITEMS ARE CONSIDERED USED, VINTAGE UNLESS NOTED OTHERWISE.

We grade our records conservatively, by visual inspection unless stated otherwise, largely following the traditional Goldmine standards.

SS = still sealed
NM = near mint (including unplayed) condition. Cover is crisp and new looking with no ring wear. 
EX = excellent, vinyl has only slight signs of wear; overall very clean (with excellent gloss), only light surface marks (hairline seen under strong light) which will not distract significantly from the sound. Cover has only slight wear, and is still in excellent collectible condition. Ex grade is the equivalent to NM- (near mint minus), or by some as VG++ (very good plus plus)
VG+ = very good plus, vinyl was most likely played often but handled with reasonable care resulting in moderate surface wear and possibly some moderate noise but still strong gloss and plays very well. Cover may have gentle overall wear (especially along edges and corners) or some ring wear.
VG = very good, vinyl with overall wear, but no skips or serious defects, typically having more noisy sound during quiet passages. Cover may be well worn, usually with considerable ring wear, edges may be split but clear taped, may have writing (previous owner’s name). 
VG- = very good minus, vinyl has considerable wear and  often with considerable scratches but no skips. It may play well, it may play to complete distraction  Cover may have marked ring wear, split edges, tape marks, writing, etc. Only very scarce records are sold by us in this category or the categories below VG-.
G or G+ = Poor or Rough condition (frisbee material). No guarantee on these records. Collectors only!
