NOTE: No overseas shipping. Apologies.

So if you've been looking for an OG copy of this, you probably want this one -- the vinyl is in stellar shape.

See below for more detail:

VINYL: VG+ (9.5 of 10) OG Mono pressing, No "Inc." label -- a true OG. And this record is in outstanding shape -- tip top. It's about as good as a record this old can look. Only the absolute lightest of streak possible can be seen, and it sounds amazing. No haze to the pressing, no bubbles, no warp or scratches, or ever really paper scuffing. It's tip top, and sounds it.
COVER: Lower VG+ (7.0 of 10) NOTE: So the top seam is split and held together with old tape. Generally, I wouldn't give a VG+ for that reason, BUT the sleeve is pretty great outside of that, so I did feel it does warrant a VG+. Spine looks great, and there's only very light ringwear. Bottom seam is strong as well, and the back s in really good shape. Presents really well, so overall I'll give it a lower VG+ _______ Now the standard messages:

GRADING: Yes I use standard grading. HOWEVER, I will NEVER use the word "mint" or "near mint" to describe a used LP ... sorry, won't do it. The highest I go is VG+. I use a number after to more represent a combination of how the vinyl looks and how it sounds. 10 is the best. I'll describe what I see in addition. I've found the combination of these two can minimize expectation gaps. But ask questions when in doubt.

CLEANING: Yes. All vinyl is cleaned ... on my own machine I made. Vacuum machine. I wash and rinse with my own formula cleaners -- once with my enzyme cleaner, and rinsed with my own distilled water/alcohol formula. ... this process has worked for me for years.

TESTING: Yes. I've listened to the records I sell. I play on a Lenco L70, via Denon 103 MC cart; tube preamp, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to KLH 17 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
SHIPPING: $4.99 for anywhere Media Mail, domestic. Overseas is BY WEIGHT, so check that weight before bidding, you overseas-ers! LPs shipped in a proper box with plastic sleeve, and yes, vinyl shipped outside the sleeve. 
NOTE: Due to the pandemic, I am temporarily suspending international shippments. Once international Post catches up, I begin again.
RETURNS: Generally a no go, unless you have a compelling reason. But if there's a serious problem, I'm sure we can figure it out with a return. I mean, I am an adult ... allegedly. But I do try to describe accurately, offer time for questions, and I deal in used records, not new stuff ... yes, it's always kind of a gamble buying via eBay, which is why I try to do my best to make an objective attempt to describe the LP in question. ASK QUESTIONS WHEN IN DOUBT. I promise, we can make this an easy transaction
