LIMITED ITEM LISTING WITHIN EBAY:  Due to the recent (i.e. May 1st, 2015) 100% increase in 'But It Now' listing (and re-listing) prices, I will no longer list items within my eBay store for an indefinite period of time.  At the start of each calendar quarter (e.g. April 1st, July 1st, September 1st AND January 1st) I will analyze the eBay viewer activity for the previous quarter(s) (as well as 'watcher' activity) for EACH of my items.  If this item doesn't reflect 14 (or more) reviews each quarter for three or more quarters, it will be removed from eBay and added to another site (whose name/location I obviously can't mention here!)  that currently has several thousand of my 80's/90's AND the 50's/60's/70's that were either already moved from or never were listed within this site!!  (Should eBay ever return their listing fees back to a more affordable and attractive offer, I will gladly SLOWLY start moving my 10,000+++ 45rpm records and/or picture sleeves back to this my former favorite site!!!)  NOTE:  "30 day" eBay listings are exactly that....If it doesn't sell within that allotted time, it will be moved to the OTHER SITE...and ALMOST NEVER RELISTED HERE!  NOTE:  This item is indeed one of those 30-day ONLY listings!!!    
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:  Joel Whitburn's "Top R&B / Hip-Hop Singles 1942-2004" Billboard research book reflects that the "A" side of this record reached #04 during October 1984.

ARTIST(s): PRINCE TITLES:  "Purple Rain"  bw  "God"  SONG CREDITS:   PRINCE  bw  PRINCE COMPANY LABEL:  Warner Bros. Records 7-29174 VISUAL GRADING OF VINYL:  Near mint. CONDITION OF LABELS:  Near mint PURPLE VINYL (see scans #3 and #4)! TYPE OF SLEEVE:   The record will be shipped in a in a white paper sleeve; and include its original picture sleeve.  The picture sleeve is flat and overall in a very strong VG++ (which you might grade as VG++...you decide) condition.  It's only distractions are:some light storage marks on both sides (see scans #1 and #2) of this VERY TOUGH SLEEVE find in near mint or mint condition!.
Those of you that have bought from me know that I am a VERY STRICT visual grader (BUT, I will happy to play grade if for you.....just ask BEFORE you bid), so don't let my vinyl and label descriptions worry you. As is evidenced by my slowly but sure growing eBay Approval Rating, you may bid with confidence. And of course, everything is 100% guaranteed!

THE FINE PRINT: Unless you have some other understood arrangement with me, payment must be received within 10 days of end of auction. Upon request, I will consolidate your multiple winning auction items for up to two weeks. PayPal Instant Payments will cause your item(s) to ship the very next Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Saturday .....my normal MORNINGS to drive down to the post office...but I do frequently ship on Tuesday and/or Thursday MORNINGS. Feedback:  I try to issue Positive feedback immediately upon payment receipt.  Please do the same for me upon receipt of your record; and I would definitely appreciate your 5-star ratings within the "Detailed Seller Ratings" section.....keeping in my mind that my requested shipment rate involves a $0.65-$0.75 mailer (shipment rate from my vender is constantly being impacted by the bloody cost of gasoline + the USPS website's projected shipment rate!  Again, I make NO deliberate attempt to make a profit from the "Shipment Charge" calculation!
OTHER QUESTIONS?:  I am NOW RETIRED, so feel free to email me (using the eBay provided link within "Ask Seller A Question"), and I will get back to you very quickly!
