ATTENTION international bidders!
Please understand that altering the final price of online purchases to avoid customs fees is illegal.  Every order is processed digitally, the shipping label affixed to the package will show the exact cost of the item.  I am an honest seller and cannot alter the amount, so please do not ask me to do so. RECORD packaging & shipping!
I provide ample padding in each package to prevent shifting during the shipping process. I also use industry-standard shipping boxes which are specifically designed for shipping records. Records are shipped outside their sleeves (if a sleeve is included) and covers to prevent damage during transit.  
Goldmine Standard Grading:
SS / NM- / VG++ / VG+ / VG / G+ / G / P
I grade very conservatively, please see my grading scale below the record description for more details.



Vinyl:  VG++ to NM-
Record has a beautiful gloss, beautiful surface with only a few very ultra light sleeve scuffs / marks.  Vinyl has a slight wave to it from the pressing - not from storage! (cover is nearly mint).  This record comes from the collection of a 70's dj in the Charlotte, NC area - it has been stored in conditioned space its entire life.  Sound is epic, as you'll hear below.  VERY CLEAN record, just below mint in my opinion.   Crisp sound, no skips (of course), super record, great music, excellent recording.   Original with the A1/A2 suffix in the matrix.  This is a visual grade as well as a complete play grade.

Labels:
The labels look as pictured. Very nice!


Cover:  VG++ to NM-
The cover is beautiful.  Excellent condition.  No splits, no obvious marks.  Very small and slight bottom mouth corner crease as shown in the pictures.  Some very light signs of ring wear but overall, it looks amazing - just as the pictures show.  Seams are all very nice, title on the spine reads perfect.


Inner Sleeve:
The inner sleeve is plain with a window and, aside from some creasing, is in acceptable condition.


Please inspect the pictures well for something I may have missed mentioning. I've enjoyed the record while I've owned it, its time to let it go to make room for more acquisitions. I try to be conservative when grading, I hope my description was sufficient.


Thanks for looking!
Mike



Payment:
PayPal please

Packaging:
All records are packaged with care and shipped outside their sleeves and covers, encased in bubble wrap, padded with cardboard when necessary, boxed in record boxes and taped well. All orders are processed digitally to avoid shipping errors. Each buyer's physical address listed with PayPal and eBay will be automatically added to the label then printed and taped to the box. Delivery confirmation is free inside the US. International orders will have the complete order information including buyer name, record name, weight, final price and customs number clearly printed. Final value prices cannot and will not be altered for customs' sake, that practice is illegal and I will not mark any package as a gift. Please see the shipping details in the listing for the service being used. Buyer can contact me at any time to discuss further shipping arrangements.


Goldmine Grading Details
SS = Still Sealed
any defects will be listed and/or photographed to complete the description

NM- = Near Mint Minus
just short of absolutely perfect
acceptable defects would include a hairline mark not detectable to the touch and not affecting playback, background noise is nearly silent

VG++ = Very Good Plus Plus
most records I will list fall under this grade, just short of NM- but may have a mark or contact wear to the label to grade it slightly lower, maybe a drill hole or cut, maybe a mark or name written on the label lightly, sound is still great, loud and near perfect, cover may have slight edge or corner wear, maybe slight ring wear

VG+ = Very Good Plus
a great record, sound is high quality though may have a few pops or clicks, overall very nice looking vinyl possibly with light marks & scuffs, labels may have a name or mark on them, possible light contact wear to the label, covers may have a small split but not large or gaping, edge wear on cover may show more than slight, may be a mark on cover

VG = Very Good
only records I will list with this grade would be rather rare or of higher book value, meant to sell as a filler until a better record comes along, vinyl may have feelable marks but should play through without skipping, pops or clicks may be louder than usual, may have marks or wear on the label, cover may have open splits, wear on print, may have marks or other very apparent defects (all will be stated in description either by type or in the pictures)

I edited the sound links, they were incorrectly linked. 
As of 9pm EST / August 9, 2013, the sound links should bring up the correct tracks. 
Sorry for the confusion! 

Thanks again for looking,
