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

Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

Description: Up for your consideration is the next in a series of unique Lps, this one by Rory Gallagher, six different records.

A few unique things about this item:
Firstly,

1. Deuce:  vinyl - this record retains the original shine with no visible imperfections  grading by sight in normal room light.  
2. Calling Card: vinyl - this record retains lots of the original shine with some very light marks, grading by sight in normal room light.
3. Blueprint:  vinyl - this record retains the original shine with no visible imperfections, grading by sight in normal room light.
4. Top Priority:  vinyl - this record retains the original shine some very light to light marks, grading by sight in normal room light.
5. Self-titled: vinyl - this record retains the original shine with no visible imperfections, grading by sight in normal room light.
6. Photo-finish: vinyl - this record retains the original shine with some very light marks, grading by sight in normal room light

I'm sure if you took these and put them under a 1000 watt bulb, you'd probably find something that makes them less than mint.  If you're that kind of collector, let me suggest this auction is not for you.

I don't claim these records are mint. 

Deuce + Blueprint + Self-titled LPs: Based on past experience and visual examination, I'd expect the tracks to average around 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 on the Deuce LP. 

Calling Card + Photo-finish LPs:  Based on past experience and visual examination, I'd expect the tracks to average better than VG+(excellent) with some scattered very light surface noise, perhaps some very light pops.

Top Priority LP:  Based on past experience and visual examination, I'd expect the tracks to average around VG+(excellent) with some scattered very light surface noise and some very light pops.  The weakest record of this lot, but still a decent record.

If you want an audio grade of an entire record, no problem, just drop me a note well in advance of the end of auction.  You can then assign your own grade based on my comments on what I heard and the GRADING SCALE BELOW!.   Keep in mind how it plays for me may differ than how it plays for you based on differences in audio equipment. 

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.

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).

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 can ship in a  14 x 14 x 6" box. Weight with box is about 3 pound 13 oz. Shipping is $4.31 Media Rate (3-4 pounds) + $1.70 box/tape/packing + $.24 handling = $6.25.

Buyer pays shipping/handling. Standard method within U.S. is Media Rate, $6.25 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.
