Product Description

Up for bid is a super-RARE Epic Records vinyl pressing of Ozzy Osbourne's 1991 commercial smash entitled "No More Tears." When "No More Tears" hit retailers shelves, vinyl record pressings were few and far between as the format was commercially dead. Therefore, only select artists' albums were sparsely issued on vinyl--meaning that in most cases inner sleeves were minimal, typically in the form of the basic white paper sleeve. As one might expect, "No More Tears" was pressed in very limited quantities on vinyl, so finding one of these gems is quite the rare occurrence. Though used, this LP has been relatively well preserved, and it does come with the original plain white paper sleeve that was included.

While I am no vinyl record expert, I feel this LP and accompanying jacket are in solid VERY GOOD if not VERY GOOD+ CONDITION. The vinyl does show some minor blemishes in the form of light scratching/scuffing in select places, but overall it still looks nice. The vinyl plays well and DOES NOT skip. Likewise, the outer jacket still looks nice too but it does show some signs of shelf wear from years of being stored with other LPs. Having said all that, let me clarify that I am not a professional record collector, so my estimation of an LP's condition is that of a seasoned but amateur collector. I enjoy collecting vinyl, and I've certainly had experience over the years but I am no expert. Since I do not profess qualifications to professionally assess records, please bear that in mind when reading my description. For a helpful reference, I use the Goldmine Record Grading 101 guide that can be accessed via the Internet at the following web address: http://www.goldminemag.com/collector-resources/record-grading-101/2

In my amateur estimation, a conservative assessment of this Judas Priest "Screaming For Vengeance" LP is that it rates as being in VG+/VG CONDITION (vinyl rating/jacket rating). Likewise the vinyl LP labels look good too with only minimal signs of previous use. This is a nice but not perfect LP, and it would make a welcome addition to any record collection. Since ratings are by their very nature subjective, I have provided numerous pictures so buyers can visually gauge condition for themselves.

The LP shown is the EXACT piece up for sale. Please examine the pictures carefully and let me know if you have any questions. I'm just a fan and collector like many of you, so I don't want any buyer to be disappointed with an item I have sold. Finally, please feel free to check out my other auctions as I am currently offering plenty of great Hard Rock/Metal collectibles. I'll happily combine shipping charges for buyers who win more than one auction (provided said items can fit in one package). I hope to earn your business! Happy bidding!!

Shipping Policies and Procedures

Please use eBay's shipping calculator to obtain an estimate of shipping costs for a particular item or contact me and request that I provide a shipping quote. Too often buyers are bidding with little awareness of the shipping costs and then deciding not to pay upon finding out the shipping fee. This typically happens with international buyers who have not investigated shipping costs beforehand. Please understand that I DO NOT inflate shipping rates or charge handling fees. In fact, I usually lose money on shipping because I do not charge for packing materials. Buyers only pay the exact estimated shipping costs and nothing more. Therefore, when bidding consider the weight and size of an item before determining that a shipping estimate is too high. I provide the shipping calculator for this very reason.

I pride myself on serving fellow eBayers quickly and professionally. I make every effort to ship items within 12-24 hours of receiving payment. In rare exceptions (such as over weekends or holidays), it might take a maximum of 48 hours to ship an item once payment has been received. I want all buyers to receive their merchandise as quickly as possible because as a fellow eBayer I also appreciate sellers who ship items expediently. This being said, domestic buyers who choose slow shipping options such as Media Mail or Parcel Post must realize and expect items to take longer to arrive. Therefore, please don't negatively affect my "shipping time" rating by docking me unfairly. Likewise for international buyers; I make every effort to get international shipments in the mail immediately because of the time it takes for items to reach their destination. Please be aware, however, that once an item leaves the USA I have little to no control over time of delivery or even tracking information. Some countries have slower customs processes than others, such as Canada for example, and there is simply nothing I can do to change that. Again, when leaving feedback, please bear these factors in mind. I strive for 5-star feedback, and if I fail to perform I should earn less than  a 5-star rating. However, I also want my ratings to accurately and fairly reflect my performance and not conditions that are beyond my control.

Returns Policy

As I rule, I generally do not accept returns. I buy and sell on eBay as a hobby, so I do not have cash reserves to cover buyer's remorse and repeated returns. However, in the event I make a mistake or unwittingly misrepresent an item, I will happily accept a return and do what is necessary to make things right in the eyes of the buyer. While mistakes aren't the norm for me, I am human and thus prone to the rare unintentional lapse. However, I ask that buyers are judicious in reviewing any auction listing and ask questions if they are uncertain about an item's condition, publication information, or contents. Likewise, I provide plenty of pictures of the exact items up for sale, so please review those closely in advance of placing bids.
