RECORD DESCRIPTION:
Thanks for checking out this listing. Up for your consideration is an ultra rare 10 inch, 78 rpm, four record set from Bahamian 'Troubadour" George Symonette.
All records in this set look to be in solid VG+ condition. Some may have light scuffs and very light scratches but overall every record looks great and have been kept in their sleeves inside the book. I purchased this set from the original owner sometime ago. I've recorded a clip off the first record in this set called "The Crow" in the clip above to the left. Check it out to get a feel for what to expect during playback.
The cover is in great shape sans some light wear and marks. All the 'pages' in the book are in great shape as well. The inside front cover has a bio of the artist and has some light foxing which matches the same off-white color as the front cover. The back cover looks great too as well as the spine, which is also in VG+ condition.
I've taken pics here to give a better idea of what to expect. I grade conservatively and take a lot of time to properly list my records so please bid with confidence.
PAYMENT:
PayPal please.
SHIPPING:
Delivery confirmation free for all orders inside the United States. Media mail for customers inside the US only! This record is in stock and will leave here within 1-5 business days, add 50 cents per each additional record when combining orders.
International Orders: I can ship overseas. I will send with USPS First Class International shipping. I will have a receipt from the triplicate overseas customs forms ready to email to you should the need arise. The postmark will show proof of shipping, along with the 'ship to' address. Tracking is available but at a substantially higher cost and different service.
GRADING:
I will have the Goldmine Standard in mind when grading but will be taking plenty of pictures to represent the records condition. Any items having multiple condition grades: First grade is vinyl, second is the sleeve.
here are common grading abbreviations I may use:

"Goldmine Standard" grading:
SS = Still Sealed
Never opened. Any flaws (torn shrinkrwrap, creasing) will be indicated in the description.
NM- = Near Mint Minus
Has been opened, but is still flawless
with no damage whatsoever.
VG+ = Very Good Plus
- Vinyl: May have scuff marks and signs of some wear but will still play almost perfectly throughout, with only "barely detectable" crackles or pops. A slight noise at the begining is allowable, but the remainder must be nearly flawless.
- Cover: May only have the slightest signs of normal wear.
VG = Very Good
The majority of records (worth selling) fall under this grade.
- Vinyl: May crackle, pop or make other annoying noises, but only occasionally,never continuously, and not more loudly than the music being listened to.
- Cover: Normal used cover wear such as ring wear and split seams. If there is abnormal damage such as tears or markings, but the seller still feels that it qualifies as a
"VG", the damage must be described in comments attached to the item.
G+ = Good Plus
- Vinyl: May have continuous crackles, pops, etc... but not so loud as to make the music completely unenjoyable for the casual listener.
- Cover: More than normal wear and tear.
