 NOTE: Due to the cost we are not offering this to overseas customers; however, if an international buyer is willing to pay the additional packing charges PLUS the USPS for registered mail (i.e., so you can have tracking) AND will submit a waiver statement indicating that the buyer assumes all risks, we will consider an international sale. Please do not contact us for a total schedule of costs (we would need your address prior to obtaining those costs from the USPS) unless you are very clear on all three points. (We have a nearly 100% positive eBay rating over nearly 15 years of selling on eBay so at this point we hope our reputation for trust, care and customer satisfaction is obvious. At the same time, the only instances where we have had problems with shipments have been international sales, so that’s why, due to the price of this item, we feel we must state the conditions of sale upfront.)

 LP is VG (we are very conservative with our gradings); sleeve is VG+.

 Red vinyl/mono first edition LP has varying fair-to-moderate surface noise – there is a very audible scratch (but not a skip) between the final two tracks on side 2. The surface noise is not so prominent as to be distracting, however (even during soft passages). Light but noticeable stylus wear in the run-out grooves plus a few very superficial-to-light scuffs on both sides that we do not consider to be all that noticeable except when examined very closely under a bright light.

 The Tampa label is black and is perfect on both sides (the photo here makes it look as if there is some blue on the side 2 label but that is due to the photo lighting).

 Inner paper sleeve appears to be original; we have added an additional sleeve for protection.

 Outer sleeve is the original 1st edition beige artwork. Note that the photo lighting makes it look like there is a brown blemish but this is not actually the case. Front cover laminate has no bubbling or peeling; rear cover glue job is fully intact. Very slight ring wear apparent on rear. Spines are all very good condition with no obvious scuffing or shelf wear, with the exception of a ½” split on the right upper spine and a 1” split on the lower spine (both splits on the right side where the sleeve opens).

 The album has been housed in a poly outer sleeve and kept in a smoke free environment since it has been in our possession.
