                                   John Prine-The Best Of John Prine~Original 1976 LP~Insert~Near Mint Vinyl/VG Jacket!    This listing is for the vinyl record from John Prine, titled, The Best Of John Prine. It was released in 1976.  (Atlantic Records SD 18202~Original U.S. First Pressing). The vinyl is very clean and shiny and grades Near Mint, with no scratches or marks.   The record plays great.  The jacket grades VG, with some corner wear, some cover wear and some indentations on front.   The record comes complete with the custom inner sleeve.  I have 7 John Prine records for sale for 3 day auctions that will start on Wednesday April 8th at 5:00 p.m. Pacific or 8:00 p.m. Eastern and they will  end on Saturday April 11th at around 5:00 p.m. Pacific or 8:00 p.m. Eastern. For U.S. buyers; I charge a flat fee of $4.90 for media mail shipping, so it's $4.90 for winning 1 of the John Prine records,  $4.90 for winning 2 of them or $4.90 for winning all 7 of them!     SONGS: The record has 12 excellent songs and is a great record to pick up for someone who wants a bunch of his hits all on  1 record.  It has Illegal Smile, Sweet Revenge, Come Back To Us Barbara Lewis Hare Krishna Beauregard, Dear Abby, Souvenirs, Hello In There, Sam Stone, Saddle In The Rain, Please Don't Bury Me, The Great Compromise, Grandpa Was A Carpenter and Donald & Lydia.  That's the record, good luck bidding!                                               Condition: Record: NEAR MINT   :::  Jacket: VG  Please note that all of my records are original U.S. first pressings; unless noted differently; where   For grading I use a bright light to inspect each record for any possible scratches or marks. I also play grade all or parts of every record I sell. For U.S. buyers; I charge a flat fee of $4.90 so the cost of media mail shipping and the box and packing supplies totals $4.90 for the first record won.  Each additional record won after the first record adds nothing to the initial $4.90 charge. So U.S. buyers can win as many LP's as they want for a total of $4.90 shipping. Please note that New York State buyers must add 8% sales tax to their winning bid price and many other states now have sales tax.  Please check with ebay to see if your state now charges sales tax. For Canada the cost of shipping 1 record air mail is $20.  2 records is $25.  3 records is $30.  4 records is $34.  Please note that 5 to 8 records is over 4 pounds and jumps way up to $65.  More than 8 records has to be figured out after winning and it's a lot.    For Europe, Asia, Australia and South America, the cost of shipping 1 record air mail is $26.  2 records is $34.  3 records is $42.  4 records is $50.  Please note that 5 to 8 records is over 4 pounds and jumps way up to $75.  More than 8 records has to be figured out after winning and it's a lot.    For packing I use a professionally made vinyl record box and 2 extra cardboard filler pads that surround the record for added protection. Here's the grading scale that I use.  RECORD GRADING SEALED: Still brand new and factory sealed MINT: The record will not be sealed, but it will be perfect and still look brand new and unplayed.  NEAR MINT: The record will be very clean and shiny, with no scratches or marks and it will play great. VG++: The record will very clean and shiny, with just a couple of very light scratches or very light marks, that will not affect the play. The record will play very well. VG+: The record will be shiny with some light scratches. The record will play well, with either no background noise; or with just a bit of light background noise. Usually the light background noise would be on quieter parts or at the start or end of a song VG: The record will probably have lost some shine and it will have some scratches or scuffs. The record will play with some background noise on parts, but it won't skip and will be enjoyable G+: The record will have more scratches and marks than VG and will play with more background noise. It won't skip but will play with noticeable background noise on parts G or Fair: The record will play worse than G+, but also should not skip. I don't sell many records graded G+, G or fair. I usually only list G+, G or fair graded vinyl when it's a very rare record JACKET GRADING SEALED: Still factory sealed NEAR MINT: The jacket will have no flaws. It will have no corner wear, no cover wear/ring wear, no writing, no seam splits and no cut outs, drill holes or cut corners. The jacket might or might not be in shrink wrap. VG++: The jacket will be just a notch under near mint with 1 or 2 very minor flaws. Perhaps a bit of corner wear or just a bit of very light cover wear or very light ring wear. VG+: The jacket will be in nice shape, with some corner wear and maybe some light cover wear or light ring wear. VG: The jacket will have more noticeable flaws with heavier cover wear or ring wear, plus maybe a small seam split in the 3 or 4 inch range and maybe a name written in small letters near a corner.  G+: The jacket will have even more flaws with maybe a crease, some surface scrapes, more writing and larger seam splits; with heavier cover wear G: Even worse than G+ but still usable  fair: Many flaws and only used for very rare records or if the actual vinyl grade is VG+ or better Please check my feedback and bid with confidence!
