VINYL GRADE : VG++ (8 out of 10)
A great playing original here. Very hard to find, scarce soundtrack here from Charlotte, NC by Arthur and Clay Smith - obscure moog, synth infused rock and funk (forward to -23:00 in the clip below). Cleaned on a VPI Machine and fully play graded! Surface shows very nice with only a few faint sleeve scuffs and faint marks. This record plays amazing with nice sound... Check the sound clip below!

Direct from playback at 192kbs...
 



COVER GRADE : VG or so
The cover shows signs of handling, signs of wear. No open splits, repaired seam. A few touch ups to some print pulls on the cover slick. A ding at top edge, light staining. Chips at mouth… Rare release.
New inner sleeve is included.
This record will be cardboard padded on both sides, then wrapped in bubble, then custom boxed. Every box is taped well and marked fragile, double taped at corners.




PAYMENT :
PayPal please, it is preferred. If you have another form of payment you’d like to use, please send a message and I’ll see if I can accomodate your request.





International bidders :
*** PLEASE UNDERSTAND !!! ***
*** A FINAL BID DOES NOT ***
*** COVER YOUR IMPORT FEES! ***

I don't have a complete international import fee list, all buyers must do their own research specific to their country. The total amount must be paid before the buyer can receive the record. I have absolutely no control over fees, your country is to blame.

Please read all of this listing's details below before bidding. Every order is processed digitally, the shipping label affixed to the package will show the exact cost of the item. I am an honest seller and cannot alter the amount, so please do not ask me to do so.





GRADING:
I use Goldmine’s grading system and am quite conservative when assessing condition.
    SS = Still Sealed
any defects will be listed and/or photographed to complete the description

   NM- = Near Mint Minus
just short of perfect - acceptable defects would include a hairline mark not detectable to the touch and not affecting playback, background noise is nearly silent

   VG++ (EX) = Very Good Plus Plus
most records I will list fall under this grade, just short of NM- but may have a mark or contact wear to the label to grade it slightly lower, maybe a drill hole or saw cut, maybe a mark or name written on the label lightly, sound is still great, loud and near perfect, cover may have slight edge or corner wear, maybe slight ring wear

   VG+ = Very Good Plus
a great record, sound is high quality though may have a few pops or clicks, overall very nice looking vinyl possibly with light marks & scuffs, labels may have a name or mark on them, possible light contact wear to the label, covers may have a small split but not large or gaping, edge wear on cover may show more than slight, may be a mark on cover

  VG = Very Good
only records I will list with this grade would be rather rare or of higher book value, meant to sell as a filler until a better record comes along, vinyl may have feel-able marks but should play through without skipping, pops or clicks may be louder than usual, may have marks or wear on the label, cover may have open splits, wear on print, may have marks or other very apparent defects (all will be stated in description either by type or in the pictures)




SHIPPING PROCESS AND PACKAGING :
All records are packaged tight for safe shipping. Vinyl is shipped outside the original sleeve in a separate, often new sleeve. I custom package every record with plenty of padding. 
45’s will be cardboard padded on both sides, then wrapped in bubble, then custom boxed. Every box is taped well and marked fragile, double taped at corners.
LP’s are cardboard padded, wrapped in bubble wrap, then corners are gusseted with custom made pads. The records ship outside their covers and sleeves to prevent damage. A custom box is then built around this padded ‘record sandwich’. The resulting box is then taped well, marked fragile and double taped at corners.
78’s are first packaged between two pieces of 11” cardboard, taped well, then bubble wrapped. Additional bubble wrap is then laid out with void fill laid down, then the record sandwich followed by more void fill. This eventually makes a 4 to 5” bubblewrap ‘pillow’ which is then custom boxed, taped well, marked fragile and then double taped at the corners.
