Van Halen ‎– Women And Children First Welcome to my auction, this item and all items I sell have been acquired/cleaned/graded by yours truly alone. I am an avid collector specializing in finding the best sounding pressings of my favorite music. These sales are the results of my efforts over the years. I stand by my sales and your satisfaction is priority one. International bidders are always welcome to bid. On to the good stuff.   CLEANING All records are cleaned in an ultrasonic tank with Groovmaster label protectors. They are then cleaned on a VPI HW-17 with L'Art du Son cleaning fluid and Mofi brushes. Once cleaned they are rinsed on the VPI HW-17 with Whole Foods Deionized water. In some cases wood glue or Record Revirginizer may have been applied. Rest assured that no ebay seller has cleaner records than I do. GRADING

90% of the records I list will have been play graded, and by play graded I mean listened all the way thru with headphones on. I record these and even reference back to the raw files when creating the listing. For the few that were not recorded I spot listen at random points on each side making note of the lead in track and runout track. I take great pride in my grading and if there is ever an issue I will make it right no questions asked.

SHIPPING All records will be shipped using a sturdy mailer with the LP outside the sleeve in it's own poly inner sleeve. The jacket and the LP will be placed in a plastic sleeve. The mailer will be marked with a Fragile sticker.   Original US first promo pressing with the poster.
