Description
**********NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING; TOO MANY 'LOST' OR 'MISSING' PACKAGES WITH ZERO RECOURSE!**********
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).
Highly in-demand Northern track nowadays...with a few caveats for this copy. :(
Side A: Stamped matrix. Grooves look impossibly tight and the record has lots of shine and gloss. 1 scuff @ 10 o'clock, one spot at 5 o'clock. Hairlines, and only a few scratches. HOWEVER, it looks as if there is a pressure fracture at 11 o'clock. The record is in one piece, and the stress fracture is situated between the outer edge and the deadwax. Carefully felt for this, on both axis, and it is not able to be felt. RCA did use a fair amount of thinner vinyl for record production, and this is one of the sad results.
For gloss/shine/label - Strong VG+.
Side B: A few more scuffs and a few more scratches/hairlines. Small amount of residue on playing surface. The aforementioned pressure crack is obviously there, but it does look to be less impactful. Weaker side of VG+.
VISUAL GRADING ONLY.
Ephemera/various: I will be accepting offers on this.
As with all records, a careful dusting/cleaning may be required for optimum playback.
FIVE DAY ONLY SALE.
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.
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 ONLY. See my feedback and bid with confidence!
