  >>> Any of the LP's I list here on EBAY are from my own private collection and have been well cared for. The majority of them have only been played a few times. Since LP's could not be played in automobiles, as soon as I acquired a new LP I would immediately record it on cassette tape. The LP was then safely stored to preserve it's condition & quality. There are a small number of my LP's that suffered some minor damages to the jackets while moving (several times), but any damage will be shown & described in the listing.  *I also clean the LP's in a highly modified Spin Clean Wet Wash System, then place them in a New Clear Anti-Static Sleeve. Any original inner sleeves (and other inserts) are always included with the LP's.  I try to do my best to grade the LP & outer Jacket / Cover according to Goldmine Standards but there's always a possibility I may miss something.  If you notice something I clearly missed, please contact me first before opening a case with EBAY, Thanks !
   For shipping, all LP's are bubble wrapped and packed in an approved corrugated LP shipping carton.     *** ALL LP PRICES INCLUDE FREE SHIPPING TO ANYWHERE IN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES ! ***  

  Here is an Excellent+ to NEAR MINT  LP of  BLACK SABBATH  - "THE ETERNAL IDOL"  from 1987, Warner Brothers Records, (MFG'd specifically For (not By) BMG Direct Marketing),  Warner Cat # 9 25548-1,  BMG Cat # R 163809.  This IS NOT a Re-Issue but is an Original 1987 1st Warner Brothers US Press 'For' the BMG Record Club. (This edition LP is from a "Digital Recording" and was pressed by SRC, Speciality Records Corp. under exclusive contract with Warner Brothers). This LP has 9 Tracks including the Hits  "The Shining", "Hard Life To Love" & "Eternal Idol".
  
  GRADING of Individual Items:  The Outer Cover / Jacket is still in shrink with 4 excellent corners and a perfect spine, very faint ring 'impression' on top front,  Grade = EX+ to NM !
  The Original Printed Inner Sleeve is still very flat with just a few minor 'waves' but has a small 1/2" split on one side,  Grade = EX+ or Better !   The LP (played only a few times) shows all it's original shine and luster with no scratches, but has 1 very small scuff on side 2. The labels are excellent and there is no hole wear,  LP Grade = EXC+ to Near Mint (closer to Near MINT) !   ***NOTE: There is one very minor issue with this LP.  In the dead time between the songs on Side 1 there is a faint, intermittent crackle but only in one channel. At the lead in where the needle drops and at the end of the LP the dead time is near perfect. I had the LP cleaned several times with no change. The general consensus is the Side 1 Master may have been slightly overused.  The crackle does not continue into the music or affect the audio quality at all.
