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 conservatively, please see my grading scale below the record description for more details.


Here's a hard to find original hot rod album from Mr. Gasser and The Weirdos, Ed Roth's creation!  This one's in STEREO... clean wax, check below for condition.
Please read on below for more information...



Vinyl:  VG+ to VG++
This is a conservative grade. The record has been cleaned on my VPI machine and handled with care. My grading is conservative and, in the process, detailed text and many pictures are used to properly describe the record for sale.
Nice shine as the pictures show!  The disc does have very light sleeve scuffs and very light marks, a couple marks can barely be felt, no reflection during playback.  Nice play with no skips, smooth continuous play. Dynamic sound of course with very light - if any - background noise!
Since opinions vary on sound quality, I've included clips of the record spinning from my turntable. Again, I cleaned the record on my VPI machine before playback. I use a Yamaha P-520 direct drive turntable with a Digitrac cartridge at 2g.  
The clips you hear below are unedited.  This is a visual grade as well as a complete play grade.  Again, please feel free to check the sound clips below!

Cover / Sleeve:  
The sleeve is in VG to VG+ shape due to a spine split which was repaired long ago by the previous owner with clear tape.  Bottom seam shows some wear, a couple spots show very small splits but the bottom seam is solid all the way across.  Top seam looks great with only light signs on handling and a couple odd marks, just as the pictures show.  Front graphic looks nice as the pictures show, back cover reads well with all print clear.  Some light signs of handling but in general the cover looks nice, despite the obvious defects... 
Capitol inner sleeve is included along with an additional clear sleeve that will protect the record during shipping.  I pack my records well and get repeated compliments for taking the care, time and effort to do so.  Please see the packing graphics below for my packing procedures as well as my feedback to rest assured I take pride in my shipping practices.
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

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 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 saw 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 feel-able 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)
