INSURANCE INCLUDED IN FOREIGN AIRMAIL QUOTE(MUST BE INSURED). VINYL WITH SOME VERY FINE SURFACE LINES BOTH SIDES. AT FIRST GLANCE YOU MIGHT BE INCLINED TO SAY VG MINUS, BUT I'VE PLAYED THIS LP AND IT SOUNDS JUST FINE WITH NO NOTICE OF ANY OF THE SURFACE LINES MENTIONED. A TINY BIT OF SURFACE NOISE LEADING INTO THE LAST CUT SIDE TWO(COME RAIN OR SHINE). SOME SPINDLE RUB MARKS AROUND HOLE UNDER LIGHT BOTH SIDES. OBVIOUSLY PLAYED OVER THE YEARS, BUT WELL TAKEN CARE OF.
FRONT LACQUERED COVER STILL SHINY WITH ONLY A MINMAL AMOUNT OF RUB WEAR. BACK WHITE CARDSTOCK COVER HAS DEFINITELY AGED AND IS NOW TAN. SOME BEGINNINGS OF LOSS TO BACK LINER NOTES APPLIED TO CARD STOCK ON BOTTOM EDGE UNDER BLUE NOTE RECORDS. ALL THREE EDGES OF THE COVER HAVE SOME ASSORTED ROUGH SPOTS FROM SHELVING AND HANDLING. BOTTOM EDGE COVER SPLIT FROM SEAM SIDE IN ABOUT THREE INCHES.
GRADING & POLICIES: All records are visually graded. Grading indicates state of vinyl (covers noted separately), If I've listened to an LP, note will be made about sound quality. The following is a general overview about grades, subject to any above notations: MINT indicates pristine vinyl without any marks on surface. MINT MINUS may contain one or two very light surface marks from play or sleeve wear under light. If you are a real collector, you'll also know that even a factory sealed LP occasionally has some light sleeve or rub marks. Anything in the VG category would contain more than two surface marks and have some other visible signs of hole or ring wear. Rarely do I offer something in the "G" state. If I do, it's usually a rare LP and priced accordingly. Values are assigned according to market availability and rarity, not a price guide.
PAYMENT: PAYPAL is my preferred method for your payment. I like to ship your records out within 2-3 days of payment, so using PAYPAL gets the records to you ASAP and concludes the transaction. Contact me after the auction if your PAYPAL payment or another method of payment will be delayed so I know what's going on. Shipping charge applies to any number of LPs in the U.S. and for up to two records foreign(three or more please contact me for correct air quote).
