This is the nicest copy of this album I have come across in all my years of collecting.  A real beauty.  Fresh and clean.  Top copy!

Condition: Cover is in great shape, no significant signs of wear or age.  No ring wear, or seam splits.  Corners are sharp, not bumped.  No seam splits or wear.  Spine is clean, titles clear.  Shrink is clean, shiny, a couple small closed tears at open corners (see photos).  Great, clean original cover.  Keeper!
Grade: Near Mint (NM)

Vinyl is also looks beautiful, still retains its original glossy shine.  No apparent scratches, marks, or scuffs, but under a strong light perhaps some faint superficial tiny hairlines, signs of vinyl having been taken out of the paper inner sleeve a couple times.  Labels are clean, no wear around spindle holes.  Looks like this record has been played maybe only once previously but handled with care.
Grade: Excellent Plus (EX)



Combined Shipping:
Yes, I offer significant combined shipping discounts.  Just ask!

International Shipping:
Because of unreliable postal services, I only use eBay's Global Shipping Program which protects both the buyer and seller from loss or damage.

How I Pack Your Records:
I remove the records with inner sleeves from the covers prior to packing.  I sandwich the record between two pieces of cardboard for padding and protection.  I also reinforce the corners of the shipping box to protect the corners of the record jacket from damage.

About Me: -I have been a record collector for over 40 years and a seller on eBay for over 20 years. 
-I consider myself a professional, not someone who is selling records he found at a garage sale like many on eBay. 
-I try to grade accurately -- beware of sellers who claim they grade "conservatively" -- rarely is that the case.
-I don't just give a record a grade, but I also explain why I give it the grade that I do. -I explain why I describe a record as "original" or a "first pressing" -- most records on sold on eBay as original are NOT. -I visually grade my records, and sometimes spot-test them for audio quality -- I can't listen to them all the way through. -Every stereo system is different, and what sounds good on mine may not sound good on yours.  If so, return it. -Every seller makes mistakes not matter how much experience they have -- record selling is NOT a perfect science. -If I make a mistake, or the record isn't what you expected, return it for a full refund -- and I will pay for return shipping. -I have 100% positive feedback for a reason -- and I strive to keep it that way by being accurate about what I sell.
