Up for auction is the pre-1972 vinyl lp Lightnin' Strikes  by Lightnin’ Hopkins on the Vee Jay Record label.  Original USA release - not a re-issue or reproduction.  Based on Matrix this appears to date to 1962 - I purchased record in 1972.
Rating: Disk: EX - Cover: EX/G
Condition: Disk: is nice and shiny. Please note: rating of disk is based on a full play of record prior to being listed.   Cover: has original shrink – not a cut-out - bumper upper right corner.  Back of record is an advert for Discotheque Records [WTF].

My ratings for records strive to be simple, accurate, tend to be conservative, and are as follows.  Please note, if I have not recently played the record, my assessment is based solely on a visual inspection under a strong light, and obviously, my ratings could be out of whack.
For Disks:
Mint (M) - only used for sealed, as purchased, and obviously, never played (but see note below on sealed records, if applicable). 
Excellent (EX): No scratches, skips, pops, clicks, scuffs, a clean, glossy surface - very little evidence of having been played – a clean glossy surface.
Good (G): a few short, shallow scratches producing pops or clicks but no skips, minor scuffing, overall clean, glossy surface.
Fair (F): minor scratches, scuffs, some manufacturing defects, no skips.
Poor (P): numerous scratches, scuffs - a few isolated skips (I will offer records with a small number of skips only if the item is somewhat rare - and the skip may be “worked around” with better playback equipment than I have).
For record jackets:
Mint (M) - sealed, shrink wrapped, as purchased and no cut-out hole, notches, slits, straight clipped corners, circular clipped corners, metal ferrule inserts, clean edged hole, ragged edged hole, under shrink wrap damage, labels, stickers, bumped or smushed corners, bends, creases, nothing, nada, zip.
Excellent (EX): May have shrink wrap and may be sealed, no writing, wear rings, bends, a clean surface, may have cut-out or hole punched through cover
Good (G): clean, no writing, minor staining, small amount of disk/shelf wear - some defects that may be found under shrink wrap
Fair (F): minor staining, wear, or writing, minor splits on seams
Poor (P): major staining, wear, and/or writing, seam(s) split (offered at auction only if the item is somewhat rare)

Item is sold as is.  Also, if you have a problem with the listing then let me know before bidding – especially if I have made an error or have not been able to find definitive information regarding a listing.  Returns will only be made on a misrepresentation on my part – not, for instance, on a difference of opinion on what is or is not a scuff or a scratch. 

Buyer to pay actual shipping charges to be determined after the end of auction.  Please note: there is a $1.00 handling change (includes inserts and shipping box).  Packages will be shipped Media Mail - will use Priority Mail if quicker shipping is preferred.  Paypal and Personal Checks accepted for payment (but ask about other forms of payment).  Winner will be contacted after close of auction.  Will combine items to lower shipping and handling fees.  Will ship up to 4 records per box.  Payment expected within 5 days of auction’s close.  Finally, please do not ask for special handling that will substantially increase the weight of the package after you have sent payment.  Thanks for looking.
