OK. Last listings until after the holidays to avoid shipping getting caught up in the rush. Check other my other vinyl deals. They might make nice gifts for audiophiles or just to add to the collection for winter enjoyment.

Here is an original press of Captain Beefheart's first album in pretty decent condition, not NM but a worthy keeper.

Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band / Safe As Milk - Buddah Records BDS 5001 - Stereo - 1967

Disk = a nice VG+, nice gloss, has some light superficial lines, nothing feelable or audible, playback is sweet, no surface noise worth addressing. Generally an EX player. Labels look good.

Cover has no splits or writing, a little paper loss on top left and a wee bit of flaking on spine, generally sturdy. No ringwear to speak of, has two small rubs on front right near the mouth, pretty decent overall for a 45 year old cover. Includes Buddah inner sleeve.

My Vinyl Grading

Mint & SS (still sealed) - Factory fresh condition. 

NM - A near perfect record. opened and played but handled and stored carefully. Disk has NO marks and cover has no visible damage or shelf wear.

EX - A record in excellent condition. Disk has been played, yet signs of wear are tough to find. Few if any superficial marks can only be seen under good light and do NOT affect play. Disk has full gloss, clean labels and plays without surface noise (depending on vinyl pressing quality of the record company.) Dust ticks between track is only natural. Covers have crisp seams, no writing and minimal shelf wear.

VG+ = A negotiable well kept record. Disk may have superficial marks from normal use, especially when age comes into play. If any marks are 'feelable' they should not be heard in play. Any surface noise will be reported in my listings. Only light ticks between tracks is to be expected. Covers may have wear due to age and storage, but no seam splits, damage or tears. Any writing would be reported in the listing. 

VG  = This is the condition of most old records. A used record that still plays through very well without skipping. Surface noise does not overcome the song to the point of being annoying. Labels may have writing, but all info is clear. Covers may have minor splits, ringwear, writing or stains but are still presentable.

G or VG- = Only use this grade if the record is very scarce and valuable. The cover still holds the record. The disk still plays without skipping. That's it.

Shipping - I usually ship items the morning after they are paid for. If payments come in after noon, they will be shipped the following business day morning. I will do international shipping, quoting the rate given to me by USPS plus 1.00 for customs headaches. If you live in Italy, Greece, Russia or Mexico, you might want to choose registered mail. 

Packaging - All vinyl records will be shipped in an LP mailer with ample reenforcing to assure it arrives the way it leaves my house. If the box arrives damaged, it would be the fault of mail services. So when in doubt, insure your high-end items.

All records come in a poly sleeve and the record is shipped out of the cover and original inner sleeve to prevent damage in shipment.
