Description
I grade conservatively and take a lot of time to properly list my records so please bid with confidence. If you have any questions, please contact me through the 'ask seller a question' link on this page.
ATTENTION international bidders!
Please understand that altering the final price of any online purchase to avoid customs fees is illegal. Since I process every order 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 method:
I am a record collector who understands the importance of securely packing records. I always pad the package well 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.
This is Marvin Gaye's third album from 1964 entitled "When I'm Alone I Cry". This is the original on the TAMLA label, number 251. This is a rather rare chance to own an excellent sounding Tamla original. Please read below for more details...
VG++ = The record has been cleaned on my VPI machine. There is a beautiful sheen to the vinyl. Overall, the surface looks excellent though there are a few ultra very light scuffs and a couple very very light marks (none detectable to the touch). No skips or odd noises during playback on my turntable. The sound clip(s) provided below provide(s) a great example of the sound quality. This is a fantastic sounding album in my opinion. I've listened to the entire record and recorded it to disk, a downloadable MP3 file of the entire record can be made available to the winning bidder. Record looks as the pictures show on the left.
The actual, unedited sound file below is provided by my Yamaha P-520 Direct Drive TT with Digitrac 280E cartridge @ 1.5 grams /// I can't guarantee the record will sound exactly like the file below since all turntables are equipped differently.

Inner sleeve is the original Tamla factory sleeve. There is a very slight split at the center of the sleeve's base and the left side has a tape repair on a split.
VG+ = The cover is solid. No splits. There is some light wear on the cover at contact points and there is also some very light ring wear. Corners have some light wear. The pictures show the cover from all angles and represent it well. Overall, the cover looks nice.
PAYMENT: PayPal please.

GRADING: I will have the Goldmine Standard in mind when grading but will be taking plenty of pictures and providing text to represent the record's condition.
"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 in excellent condition - nearly flawless.
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" audible cracks or pops. A slight noise at the beginning 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.
