Special note to foreign bidders: PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING!! IN PURCHASING THIS ITEM, YOU ARE AGREEING THERE ARE NO REFUNDS FOR ANY REASON ON FOREIGN SHIPMENTS. In order for me to ship out of the U.S., it is much more effort and expense.

  1. Because of this, I do not ship to foreign buyers if the value of the item is less than $20.
  2. For items $20-$50, I can ship First class International to buyers with perfect feedback. This method is NOT insurable or trackable, but costs less. Weight must be less than 4 pounds.
  3. For items $50-$100, I would ship via priority mail international with insurance for the value bid. Some countries do not allow insurance. Please e-mail for shipping costs before bidding as this method costs more, but is insurable (usually) and trackable.
  4. For items > $100, it will have to go some method that can be signed for. Global Express, probably, it is expensive!

Examples of shipping as of 2/22/18(to the U.K.):

  1. 9 ounces - $23.50 (first class international) + cost of box
  2. 9 ounces - $35.25 (Priority Mail International) + cost of box
  3. 9 ounces - > $50 (Global Express) + cost of box

Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. I declare foreign shipments as merchandise with the value you bid for them.

END NOTE TO FOREIGN BUYERS.


Feedback/bidding policy:   I check feedback daily and will return feedback promptly. Although I go to great lengths to accurately describe my items, if you feel the merchandise is not as described, e-mail me BEFORE leaving feedback and we will resolve it.  Please note I do allow returns (see return policy below).

"Most purchases will be subject to a sales tax. E-bay automatically collects this for about 38 states. Sales tax for other states is collected at the respective state sales tax rate."

Description: Up for your consideration is the next in a series of unique Lps, this one featuring electronic/moog music.  The back cover notes some of the equipment used: "Polymoog, Minimoog, Arp 2600, Casiotone 210, Farfisa compact organ, MXR digital delay, Orban reverb, Ross flanger, Teac 80-8, Teac 3440, Scully 280 + other goodies."

A few unique things about this item:
Firstly, this record retains the original shine with no visible imperfections other than a few very light apparent sleeve marks grading by sight in normal room light.  I'm sure if you took this and put it under a 1000 watt bulb, you'd probably find something that makes it less than mint.  If you're that kind of collector, let me suggest this auction is not for you.

I don't claim this record is mint.  Based on past experience and visual examination, I'd expect the tracks to audibly average half way between VG+(excellent) and Near Mint with some scattered very light surface noise such that might be heard on just about any record.  If you want an audio grade of an entire record, no problem.  Just drop me a message well in advance of the end of auction.  You can then assign your own grade based on my comments and the grading scale shown below.    

Keep in mind how it plays for me may differ than how it plays for you based on differences in audio equipment. 


Secondly, at the time of this listing, no recent past/present sales on e-bay!

So this is your chance to own a unique item at a reasonable price.  Bid early and often so you don't miss out on this auction!   

It is further described below, please take the time to read before bidding.

Please e-mail if questions.

I am using the Goldmine scale of G=Good(1), VG = Very Good(2), VG+ = Very Good Plus(excellent)(3), NM = Near Mint(4) when grading the disc(s). 

Here is a summary of the record(s):

Artist: Jack Schrage and Demetri Corelis Title: Intersketches Record: Black vinyl with the original shine and no visible imperfections other than a few very light apparent sleeve marks  grading by sight in normal room light.    Labels: Red with black print.   No stickers, no pen/pencil marks, a few spindle marks.  Some bubbling on side 2. Trailing wax: Side 1: "Side I LPS-RMW-1".  Side 2: "Side 2 LPS RMW-2 RPL M-2". Inner sleeve(s): A generic, white sleeve in fine shape. Cover: Corners very slightly worn.  No stickers.  No pen/pencil marks.  No seam splits.  Slight general / ring wear.  Rate the cover VG to  VG+(excellent), closer to VG+(excellent).   You can assign your own grade based on my comments. Comments: Based on past experience and visual examination, I'd expect the tracks to audibly average about half way between VG+(excellent) and Near Mint with some scattered very light surface noise such that might be heard on just about any record.  If you want an audio grade of an entire record, no problem.  Just drop me a message well in advance of the end of auction.  You can then assign your own grade based on my comments and the grading scale shown below.         A good addition to your LP collection.   Side 1: Comments: Latin sketches - Jan. 81 Audio grade provided upon request.

Additional criteria I use when audibly grading records for people:

  • NM(4) = absolutely nothing wrong at all (very rarely happens--I've even opened sealed records and they don't play Near Mint)
  • 3.5-3.9 = very, very light surface noise
  • 3.1-3.4 = very light surface noise, very light pops
  • VG+(3) = up to light pops and light surface noise (below this, one's enjoyment is affected, very subjective)
  • VG(2) = up to medium pops and moderate surface noise
  • G(1) = up to heavy pops and heavy surface noise

I normally ship a single record in a standard 12.5 x 12.5 x 1 record mailer.  Weight with box is 15 ounces. Shipping is $2.80 Media Rate (0-1 pounds) + $1.20 box/tape/pack = $4.00.
Alternatively, I can ship in a  14 x 14 x 6" box. Weight with box is about 1 pound 11 oz. Shipping is $3.33 Media Rate (1-2 pounds) + $1.70 box/tape/packing  = $5.03.

This auction is currently set to ship in the smaller box.  If you want the larger box, let me know and I'll send an appropriate invoice.

Buyer pays shipping/handling. Standard method within U.S. is Media Rate, $4.00 This includes online tracking. Outside U.S., e-mail location to determine S/H costs prior to auction end. Insurance / other methods of shipping cost extra. Payment received within ten days of auction ending. Payment via Paypal preferred.
