WILL SMITH Big Willie Style FIRST PRESSING 1997 Vinyl Record Album LP C2 68683
This record has not seen a record needle in decades other than a quick 30 second test for this auction and it sounds fantastic!
VINYL GRADING: VG+ - I have no doubt you'll be very happy. However, please understand grading is subjective. What one may consider "excellent", another may consider "VG” etc. Therefore grading may vary up or down one grade. Any record of this age is bound to have slight surface noise in some spots (most likely quiet spots and transitions but is not limited to just those spots) So be reasonable and you'll be very happy. You might expect to see the lightest of visual wear on the record. Perhaps fingerprints or light signs of use but the record sounds FANTASTIC and barely played.
I DO NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH PICKY COLLECTORS. IF THAT IS YOU, PLEASE FIND THIS ELSEWHERE.
JACKET Condition: SEE PHOTOS. There is a cut corner on the top left and some creasing. The side has a seam split on the spine. Email with any questions prior to bidding. Record is not new so expect to see some age/wear. This would mean you should expect dings on corners, light creasing/record ring wear/ and other details previously mentioned etc.
I am always happy to take additional photos.
Shipping : WILL SHIP TO US ONLY (unless you are part of the eBay global shipping program) please note signature confirmation may be required. I ship as fast as I can (usually within 24 hours of receiving payment) For some reason Ebay is putting "Guaranteed delivery by (and inserting their own random date) *PLEASE IGNORE THAT. I have no clue why they are putting that on the auction. MEDIA MAIL shipping normally takes a week but sometimes it is a little longer. Will ship to US ONLY. I’m human. I care and I want everyone to be happy but I also want to spend time with my family over the weekend so if you pay over the weekend I will ship on Monday. Please remember - Media Mail normally takes about a week to arrive to most parts of the US but I cannot control the speed of USPS (Neither can eBay)
99 out of 100 people will be EXTREMELY happy with this record. I do not wish to deal with picky collectors who will try to find a flaw in everything. If that is you, please find this elsewhere. Simply put, I collect and sell records because I love music and the nostalgia, I refuse to deal with anyone who inspects records with a white glove. In my opinion, the record sounds AWESOME but we are dealing with vinyl here. It is not digital. There is bound to be surface noise on any record of this age. I also do my absolute best to show any flaws in the covers in both the description and the photos. I am human, so if I were to miss a minor detail it would not be on purpose. I am more than happy to take any additional photos. Just message me! If you have a history of complaining please don’t waste my time. I am selling a lot of rare records and I’m not going to deal with anyone who may attempt a bait and switch return. There are absolutely no returns or refunds. All records are sold as is.
With that being said, I only sell records I would personally want to own. I like to think that I under-grade my records but everyone has a very different opinion on grading. Therefore gradings may vary up or down a grade. I try VERY hard to make sure everyone is happy. I wrap my records in thick bubble wrap, not the flimsy cheaper kind and I receive emails all the time complimenting the care that goes into my packaging. I have NEVER had a record damaged in shipping and throughout all my years of selling I have had ONE impossible to please customer. That one person is the reason you now see the disclaimer on grading and the no-refund policy.
Thank you for looking at my auction!
