Description

Hum – Downward is Heavenward blue vinyl LP  (Cat No. MGH 002, Martians Go Home, 1997)

This LP, now almost 18 years old, is long out of print in any vinyl format, but the blue was extremely limited edition and always difficult to find as it was purportedly recalled due to its propensity to warp.

The vinyl is in near mint condition. No visible flaws and no warping. The vinyl sounds great, with some minimal surface noise in between the songs, but this is due to the pressing not being the highest quality rather than to wear.

The sleeve is in VG/VG+ condition with some lightly bent corners and some discoloration and wear on the back of the sleeve. Check out the pictures. Includes a poster which is in near mint condition. I don't recall ever unfolding it. 

Don’t miss your chance to pick this up, as there’s no telling when you’ll see another copy!

Grading Policies and General Remarks on Vinyl Condition:

I do not own a record store and I don't read Goldmine. I'm not going to try to be an expert on grading. Too often when I buy on eBay, people rate items as "Very Good" that I think are ready for the trash.

I do however take care of my records. Most of them were purchased new from independent stores or distros, and I have stored each in a plastic sleeve to ensure that each record remains in about the same condition. Occasionally, I receive a new record from the label or distro with a small seam split or a bent corner. If that's the case, I'll let you know. If it's used, I'll describe whatever visible flaws I see. If I don't describe a particular item, assume that it is in "like New" condition. Whether or not that makes it M, M-, or NM, doesn't mean much to me.

Shipping:

I charge a modest handling fee (included in shipping quote below) to help cover supplies and time. I always ship in cardboard mailers. Most of the time they’re brand new ones that cost me $2.00 a piece, but occasionally, I reuse a record box that someone shipped a record to me in. As a regular eBayer myself, I know the mystery of whether or not a record will arrive in good condition can be quite frustrating and agonizing. I make sure there is no mystery by telling you how I pack my records up front. I believe that my shipping charges are still about average, and you can rest assured that your record will arrive to you well-packed.

I walk by the post office on a daily basis, so your item will typically be in the mail within 24 hours, but occasionally it will take 48. I ask in turn that you pay promptly. If, after 3 days, I have not received paypal payment or been notified by you, I will start the process of reporting you as a non-paying bidder and relist the item.
