Welcome to ELC Audio Engineering. I'm reserving Friday evenings for vinyl records (LP, EP, 45, etc) as well as other media (CDs, DVDs, books). Regarding vinyl records: In many instances, I'm not the original owner, but take good care of records regardless of their previous condition. Many of the LPs being listed were purchased in the 80s and 90s (during my stint with the USAF) and, consequently, are ORIGINAL or early issues. My "grading" method takes surface noise and play-ability into account: Even new records, if not properly stored, can have gross surface noise. Because I use delicate, "high-end" record-playing equipment*, I'll clearly state when a record presents with defects such as scratch noise or skips. The physical condition of a record's sleeve should be clear from the photos. I (mostly) take original photos. Nothing is borrowed unless I cite an image's source; otherwise, it's flat-out plagiarism (noting other sellers have used MY original photos). Please read the description carefully before bidding.

Shipping: eBay does NOT automatically adjust for the shipping cost of combined items. If items can be combined into a single shipment, please request an invoice so I can combine items to save you money. I charge for actual shipping only (meaning no added fees) using eBay's shipping calculator. International bidders MUST use eBay's International shipping service. Please read [1] for additional shipping info.

As stated above, I do not use stock photos or canned descriptions. What you see in my photos is exactly what you're bidding on. I do not "borrow" from other sellers, nor do I use eBay's database. If sellers aren't using their own photos, then you really don't know what you're buying. *Note: Photos of record care and record-playing equipment can also be seen in editions of The Audio Link (these are fair game because I'm the author).

Photos are an integral part of my descriptions: PLEASE VIEW ALL PHOTOS CAREFULLY. If something isn't clear, please ask before you bid. Please read the description carefully so you know exactly what you are bidding on.

With very few exceptions, I do not accept returns. Read [2] for further details regarding this policy. Nothing in this listing is misleading--check my feedback as a seller [3]. Many thanks for keeping eBay a positive buying and selling experience!

This listing is for the vinyl LP titled 154 by WIRE (1979 Harvest SHSP-4105). Also included is the original inner sleeve. The 7" EP that accompanied 154 is NOT included. This vinyl LP album has one defect on side 2 (recording shown in one of the photos). Briefly, an almost microscopic scratch at the beginning of side 2 presents as a "pop". This pop, heard each revolution, persists for about 45 seconds into the LP. Aside from this, the vinyl is in great condition. The sleeve has wear on its top edge, as shown. Please view all photos carefully, as they're better descriptors than my writing. And please view photos for what's etched on the runouts, as these give insight as to the authenticity of an album or release. If you're a Wire fan, I'll be listing "Chairs Missing" and "Pink Flag" separately. Record(s) to be shipped in a new, high-quality mailer with added cardboard stiffener.

Reminder: International buyers must choose eBay's International Shipping Service. Thank you for viewing!

[1] I pack items with great care--the same way I'd like to receive a delicate or valuable item. Like other sellers, I do not have control over shipping costs or carrier delivery time. Small- and medium-sized items will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail. Larger parcels will be shipped via FedEx Home or FedEx Ground. Unlike Jeff B, neither eBay nor I operate our own shipping services--this means no "prime" or overnight shipping (although I ship some items for free depending on size).

[2] Why I no longer accept returns: In a few unfortunate incidences, bidders with buyer's remorse had intentionally damaged perfectly good equipment in order to receive a refund. In other instances, buyers were simply incompetent: Equipment was damaged because these buyers did not know how to properly use or handle it; yet, they wanted refunds because of the damage they had caused. Bottom line: No returns! If the wrong item is shipped, or if their is a gross oversight on my part (I have yet to do either of these), I will promptly refund or exchange an item and pay for return shipping. Please understand what you're buying is USED unless it's clearly stated as new.

[3] I'm batting 100% positive feedback after nearly two decades of buying and selling on eBay*. I kindly leave positive feedback for those who do the same. Prior to my current username, I had over 1500 combined selling and buying reviews with 100% positive feedback. *(I changed my username since starting on eBay in order to reflect my current business.)

I do not entertain best offers, nor do I end auctions early. Item will be sold to the high bidder (heck, a single bidder might get a fantastic deal). Items not paid for after 72 hours will be re-listed.
