Artist: Chuck Willis  Title:  Chuck Willis Wails the Blues Label/Number: Epic LN-3425 (M) Jacket condition: VG+ Record condition: EX Notes: The cover is in nice condtion with some light ring wear and some minor seam and corner wear. The top seam is split and neatly taped for about 4 inches at the opening and there is some small writing on the top right corner of the back. The labels are in nice condition with a few light spindle marks. The vinyl is bright and glossy with a few light surface scratches that lead me to grade it down just a little to EX.   Grading: Grading is usually only visual for VG+ or better items, although if time allows I may play to verify the quality of a pressing or just to hear the music. VG items are usually only listed if they are fairly hard-to-find items and are always play graded. Regardless of the grade, if I do play the LP, I note the results in the item description. I use Goldmine standards with Ebay's EX grade added for items NOT QUITE up to NM.  Please read the notes above as I try to note anything that might influence the grading one way or another. I try to be conservative and grade as though I were buying the record and hope my feedback speaks well for my grading. Mono (M) or Stereo (S) is noted after catalog number. Don't hesitate to e-mail questions.    Mailing and costs: Domestic shipping is via USPS Priority Mail. I ship in cardboard mailers made specifically for records with additional cardboard pads for added protection. Shipping and handling charges are a flat $5.00 for the first LP and $.50 per additional LP. Overseas shipping is via USPS Priority Mail International. Cost will be as calculated based upon destination. I always mail in a poly sleeve with the record outside the jacket. If there's an original inner sleeve I also remove the record from that and put it in a plain sleeve for mailing. That way, there are no seam splits on either the jacket or the sleeve due to any handling in the mail.  I'm always happy to combine shipping costs for multiple purchases.
