Hi, you are bidding on a STEELY DAN Can’t Buy a Thrill album.  The is a verified 1st pressing and it’s in very good condition.  The record has some hairlines on it but nothing deep.  The record plays well with some random crackle, no loud pops at all.  The jacket is a solid VG+ with no rips or tears, just general use marks.  The spine is perfectly readable. 

Please don’t ask what is wrong with my albums.  I list some auctions for $1 “for fun” and to generate interest !!!

My GRADING system, visually.

MINT – Record has no marks/Jacket is perfect or very close

NM – Record may have a couple very, very, minor marks (sleeve scuff), Jacket may have tiny crease or loss of color.

EXC – Record may have several marks that definitely will not affect play, looks mostly shiny still

VG+ - Record may have a number of marks but will play through just fine, may have a light snap and crackle.  Jacket will have wear but no rips or tears

VG – Record may have many marks but not repeat.  It may have snap, crackle, and pop but never skip (repeat track).

If I do not mention writing on the jacket or label, then there is none.

Feel free to make reasonable offers via email.

If you are bidding on Vinyl Records, you should know that I do not sell vinyl that SKIPS!  Ever!  I listen and collect just like you do and have spent way too much on audio gear to listen to crap records and don’t expect you to either!   I Ultrasonic clean them so they sound great and I provide you with jacket covers  and vinyl anti-static covers (new), included in your bid amount.  DON’T be fooled by some other sellers and their descriptions.  I have had vinyl for 35 years that sound mint and brand new albums that sound awful.  This is due to improper cleaning!!!  Ultrasonic cleaning is the only method to remove imbedded dirt and give the vinyl a chance to sound well.  It’s worth the extra few bucks to have a cleaned vinyl with brand new anti-static sleeves!  MANY  brand new albums have marks on them  that do not affect play.  Buying an album with sleeve marks and needle marks is perfectly fine and they are still MINT or Near Mint sounding!   EXTRA BRIGHT light makes almost all albums show some imperfections but they don’t affect playability at all! I grade records in bright lighting, not quite NASA search lights but rest assured you will get what is described.

Please contact me if you have any questions or would like more pictures or details.  I describe listings exactly as they are and to the best of my ability!!  I do not mislead, that’s called a lie!  I provide extra high quality photos of expensive items ($250 and above) so you see what you are bidding on.  These are the largest sized photos eBay allows. 

As per eBay rules, please contact me first for problem resolution prior to leaving feedback.  I provide excellent customer service and would like a chance to fix a problem.  If there’s a problem, contact me and I’ll work with you.  I’m a 1-man operation and your satisfaction is very important to me, as is your feedback! 

I will leave feedback for you as soon as I receive yours.  I have found that feedback is not given, to me, if I leave feedback first.
