In my continuing quest to bring you fine vinyl, I'm happy to offer the record(s) listed above.  (and of course, as usual, please check out my other listings to find things that you may need).
Hearsay/rumor puts the number of these at 200; (the original first pressing releases; as evinced  by the nature of the sleeve itself, and the printed stamp on the lower left back corner. 
NOTE: this copy of the sleeve is just that...sleeve ONLY! There is not a 45 rpm record included. 
Front: A bit of a bend. Light amount of outer/inner ringwear. wol on top white border. Some small amt of wrinkling. Various / sundry paint nicks. Good solid VG+ copy, and don't forget...extremely  hard to find!
Back: About the same as the front. An impact near the center hole has left a mark, but the sleeve is  torn there. However, there is a bend on the top border and a tiny perpendicular tear almost exactly in the middle.  
Ephemera/various:
As with all records, a careful dusting/cleaning may be required for optimum playback. 
FIVE DAY ONLY SALE. VISUAL GRADING ONLY!!
Please see and examine pictures, as they are part of the listing. If you would like additional pics, just let me know!
NOTE: Due to the pandemic, there are mail delays all over the US. Please allow for some  extra time for shipments to arrive...for example: I have seen intra-US shipments sit in a  Post Office for roughly 2 weeks. Priority Mail packages have taken as long as  7 days, add a few more days for First Class, and even more time for Media Mail. 
Please be patient. I will always go to bat for my customers, and I will take care  of the needs of the customer and transaction, but I cannot make USPS work faster. 
It is preferable that payment be made ASAP, however, due to various circumstances,  I'm allowing up to three days for payment to be made. Anything after that, and an unpaid item case automatically opens. If you don't plan on paying, then don't bid.
Shipping: 
I'm happy to combine shipping for orders! 
No matter how many 45's you purchase (in the lower 48 of the US), the shipping cost will never go over the current Media Mail rate (currently $3.11). 
I ship all of my (soon to be your ) items as such:
1. Paper sleeve (will match company of the record if available), poly outer sleeve.  2. Cardboard stiffeners for added package strength (in case of shipping delays for supplies, I will use 2 records for intra-US shipments).  3. A stiffener is placed under the record, then the next one is turned at 90° with the record in between. 4. Specialized mailing boxes are exclusively used for mailing 45rpm records (or LP's).
If you are getting more than one record from me, please wait until I send you an invoice. 
Any questions? Please feel free to contact me. I've an open-door policy! :) I WILL happily process returns if the item arrives damaged, or is significantly different than advertised. I will NOT process refunds due to buyer's remorse, I'm sorry to say. 
PayPal welcomed, as are credit/debit cards. No cash/checks/MO/IMO, please. 
***See my feedback and bid with confidence!***
