100

John A. Russo, who co-wrote the screenplay for Night of the Living Dead, also turned the flesh-eating frenzy into two blood-drenched novels which until recently were Out of Print for thirty years and lost to an entire generation of readers. This is a rare and sought-after soundtrack record, even without the autograph

RECORD:   NM-
LABEL,#:   Varèse Sarabande  (M) STV-81151
YEAR:  1982 release of music from 1958 film

MUSIC:  Spencer Moore, William Loose, George Hormel, Ib Glindemann, others

I bought this record on eBay 9-10 years ago, but apparently previous owner got it at some kind of store offer as there is the impression of another signed copy (slightly different writing) on the back cover shrink also, as if there were a stack on them and the magic marker rubbed off. See the detail pictures.

Here are a couple of other eBay auctions to compare signatures:

(Apparently, he made a cameo appearance in the movie )

PLEASE NOTE: Make sure you realize this is a vinyl LP. If you are looking for cds, go to the cd category. If you bid on this, you will be obligated to buy.

I try to apply the GOLDEN RULE when grading*, but please e-mail or call if you have any questions.

NM: no marks, no evidence of play
NM-: May have one or two very light marks which would not be noticed except for extremely close inspection and which will not affect play.
EX: May have a few very light marks which are nearly invisible and most likely do not sound.
VG+: May have some visible light marks but no feelable scratches. May play with a minimum of noise during quiet passages

ABOUT THE SHIPPING WITHIN U.S.A. : Media mail $3.95 1st record, $.50 each additional
You also have the option USPS Priority Mail flat rate of $9 which includes delivery confirmation and reinforced packing inside oversized box. It should arrive within 2-3 business days.

INTERNATIONAL: Most international shipping charges are $15 for 1st LP, $4 each additional. My costs include more than $1 for the LP mailer/packing materials and at least $.75 to PayPal.  See My eBay Store for flat rate international combined purchase deal.

I generally ship in heavy, new LP mailer from Bags Unlimited with disc outside cover, both encased in a plastic sleeve with a piece of cardboard (usually half of a cover from another old record) and then all inside a plastic grocery-type bag (recycle!), in case it gets left in rain by post office. I can pack with a sheet of bubble wrap if you request.

* This means that I try to consider what my reaction would be as a buyer, upon winning this auction and pulling the record out its sleeve the first time.  Please note that grades are visual.  It seems to me that play-grading is even more subjective and entails other variables, such as the sensitivity of one's equipment.  I have not listened to many of these records but will try to upon request.  There is not a huge amount of difference between NM/NM-/EX.  As anyone who has handled a lot of used records knows, some play better than they look and VICE VERSA.  If you have problem with something you receive from me (to err is human), please contact me through eBay, and we will most likely be able to work it out.

Shipping charges are the Buyer's responsibility.

ITALY - I am sorry, but no more records will be shipped. Bidding from Italy has been excluded.
