Welcome to our eBay store

We combine shipping!

Once upon a time, in our home town, we owned a record store. The opportunity to collect music proved irresistible. Now, many years later, with thousands of records accumulated in our library, it's time to share the wealth.

As you might image, like any serious collector, we've taken great care to preserve LP integrity. Every record was stored properly. Every record has an inner sleeve. Every jacket (unless it's a box set) is protected with an outer sleeve. Please see below for further descriptive conditions.

LP: Classical   Joseph Schwantner:  Magabunda, Four poems of Agueda Pizarro William Schuman: American Hymn Lucy Shelton, Soprano Sait Louis Symphony Orchestra, Leonard Slatkin, conductor Nonesuch Digital: 79072   Our personal collection of LP's  is sufficiently large enough that many have been listened to only once. Consequently, we rate this LP in very good condition. Upon close inspection, it is possible a few small light surface abrasions / scuffing may be present, but record plays perfectly. Jacket looks good. 100% guarantee. Protected in an archival poly bag.   *Please note. Due to the size of our scanner's bed, approximately 1/2" (one half inch) is cropped off photo of jacket.

Terms for Describing Condition
These terms apply to books, dust jackets, and magazines.

As New is when the book is in the same immaculate condition in which it was published. There are no defects and the dust jacket, if issued with one, is perfect.

Fine approaches the condition of “As New,” but without being crisp. There may be minor defects, which are noted.

Very Good describes a book that does show some small signs of wear but no tears on either binding or paper. Any defects are noted.

Good describes the average used and worn book that has all pages or leaves present. All defects are noted.

Fair is a well-worn book that has complete text pages but may lack endpapers, half title page, etc. All defects are noted.

Poor describes a book that is sufficiently worn so that its only merit is as a reading copy. This book may be soiled, scuffed, stained or spotted and may have loose joints, hinges, pages, etc. All defects are noted.

Ex-library books are always noted as such regardless of condition.

Additional terms used in our descriptions.

Boards are the actual hardcover material of the cover, front and back.

Bookplate is usually a square illustrated sticker on which an owner writes his or her name, or on which the author has signed his or her name.

Bumped refers to the bent or rounded corners of the boards.

Browning or tanning refers to brown or tan looking pages or page edges that appear in some older books.

Chip is a tiny piece missing from the edge of the dust jacket.

Closed tear is a tiny rip in the dust jacket, but no material is missing (as in a chip). It can be “shut” and protected from further tearing with a Mylar cover.

Cocked means the book is no longer square. If laid down, the book appears to be pushed (slanted) forward or backward from the spine.

Creasing is where the dust jacket or pages have been bent, and then returned to its original state.

Dampstain is a tan or gray stain resulting from water or other liquid damage.

End papers or pastedowns are the sheets of paper pasted onto the inner covers, joining the book block to the covers. One side of the sheet is pasted to the inside cover, the other is left free (see FFEP).

FFEP stands for front free-endpaper. This is the first page of any book. Though usually blank, it is a common place for an inscription.

Foxing is the term used for the rust colored spots which occur on paper. This is the result of oxidation of both organic and iron impurities left behind during the paper making process.

Front, top or bottom edge: These are the outside page edges.

Loose is what happens to a book which has been read several times. The cover easily flaps open and the pages do not return to a tight condition.

Heal or tail is the bottom of the spine.

Head is the top of the spine.

Mass-Market paperback is the most common paperback book, about four inches wide and seven inches high. Seen most often as “popular” fiction, science fiction and romance books.

Mylar cover is the clear film that most fine bookshops use to cover and protect the dust jackets.

Spine separation occurs at the head (top) of the spine where the fingers grab and pull the book from the shelf. After repeated pulling, the glue holding the outer spine board to the inner binding separates.

Stiff wraps are the outer covers of a softcover (paperback) book or pamphlet.

Sunned is the fading of paper or binding as a result of sun exposure.

Trade paperback is a softcover book which is generally large in size and made of better quality materials than a Mass-Market paperback.
