Description


Tom Brock ** 33 1/3 rpm ** RARE Soul Funk


Items in this lot are:
  • I love you more and more -- Label: 20th Century Records -- Record#: T-430

Special note to foreign bidders: I declare foreign shipments as merchandise with the value you bid for them. Shipment to foreign buyers is via priority mail international with insurance for the value bid. Please e-mail for shipping costs before bidding as this method costs more, but is insurable and trackable. Example: United Kingdom 1-2 pounds $47.45 + $2.10 box/tape/pack = $49.55.

Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

Alternatively, if the ending winning bid is less than $50 and if you have perfect feedback and want this shipped first class international, it could be shipped that method with the understanding there is NO REFUND FOR ANY REASON since the item cannot be tracked online or insured. Example: United Kingdom 1 pound 13 oz.: $24.15 + $2.10 = $26.25.

Feedback/bidding policy: I check feedback daily and will return feedback promptly. Although I go to great lengths to accurately describe my items, if you feel the merchandise is not as described, e-mail me BEFORE leaving feedback and we will resolve it. Please note I do allow returns (see return policy below).

Description:Up for your consideration is the next in a series of unique Lps, this one by Tom Brock.

Several unique things about this item: Firstly, the record retains the original shine with a few very light to light marks (mainly concentrated on the first track of each side), grading by sight in normal room light. I'm sure if you took this and put it under a 1000 watt bulb, you'd probably find something that makes it less than mint. If you're that kind of collector, and after a recent unpleasant experience with a buyer from Malaysia, let me suggest this auction is not for you.

I don't claim this record is mint. I took the time to play the entire record and found the tracks to audibly average nearly half way between VG+(excellent) and Near mint. . You can assign your own grade based on my comments and the scale shown below.

Secondly, past sales on e-bay for this disc have ranged from $28 to $66!

So this is your chance to own a unique item at a reasonable price. Bid early and often so you don't miss out on this auction!

It is further described below, please take the time to read before bidding.

Please e-mail if questions.

Be sure to check my other listings to save postage on multiple winning bids. Please explore the "me" link next to feedback rating) to check out my store and some of the 15,000+ records I have for sale as well as the LP to CD transfer service I offer.

I am using the Goldmine scale of G=Good(1), VG = Very Good(2), VG+ = Very Good Plus(excellent)(3), NM = Near Mint(4) when grading the disc(s).

Here is a summary of the record(s):

Artist: Tom Brock Title: I love you more and more Record: Black vinyl with original shine, a few very light to light marks (concentrated mostly on track one of each side), grading by sight in normal room light. Labels: Light blue with mostly black print. No stickers, no pen/pencil marks, a few spindle marks. Trailing wax: Side 1: "T1 M-430-AS-2". Side 2: "T1 M-430-BS-1". Inner sleeves: A generic sleeve will be added in addition to the current 20th Century sleeve which has some seam splits. Cover: Still has most of the original shrink wrap; there are some breaks in the wrap along the outer upper/lower edges. Corners with up to moderate wear. The lower outer corner is clipped. There is a sticker on the OUTSIDE of the shrink wrap, front upper right corner. Back upper right corner and back right edge with some spotting, perhaps humidity related (see scan). Some seam wear, no seam splits. No pen/pencil writing. Slight general/ring wear.. Rate the cover VG to VG+(excellent), closer to VG. Comments: I found the eight tracks to audibly average nearly 1/2 of the way between VG+(excellent) and Near Mint. You can assign your own grade based on my comments and the scale shown below. An excellent addition to your LP collection. Keep in mind how it plays for me may be different than how it plays for you due to difference in audio equipment. Side 1: Comments: Have a nice weekend baby A few light pops at the beginning; Up to some very, very light surface noise (3.2) The love we share is the greatest of them all Up to a very, very light surface noise (3.7). There's nothing in this world that can stop me from loving you Up to a very, very light surface noise (3.7). I love you more and more Up to a very, very light surface noise; One light pop (3.3). Side 2: Comments: Naked as the day I was born Up to a very light surface noise at the beginning; one light pop (3.3). That's the reason why (I'll love you until the day I die) Up to a very, very light surface noise with some very light muffled pops at the end (3.4). Shake me, wake me Up to a very, very light surface noise (3.6). If we don't make it, nobody can Up to a very, very light surface noise (3.65).

Additional criteria I use when audibly grading records for people:

  • NM(4) = absolutely nothing wrong at all (very rarely happens--I've even opened sealed records and they don't play Near Mint)
  • 3.5-3.9 = very, very light surface noise
  • 3.1-3.4 = very light surface noise, very light pops
  • VG+(3) = up to light pops and light surface noise (below this, one's enjoyment is affected, very subjective)
  • VG(2) = up to medium pops and moderate surface noise
  • G(1) = up to heavy pops and heavy surface noise

I normally ship Lp's in 12 1/4" x 12 1/4" x 1" boxes. As of 8:26:2014, I will add either some bubble wrap or some small, squishy foam padding on top to help prevent postal abuse. Weight with box is about 15 oz. Shipping is: $2.69 Media Rate (0-1 pounds) + $1.19 box/tape/packing + $1.05 delivery confirmation = $4.93.
Alternatively, I can ship an LP in a 14 x 14 x 6" box. Weight with box is about 1 pound 11 oz. Shipping is $3.17 Media Rate (1-2 pounds) + $2.10 box/tape/packing + $1.05 delivery confirmation = $6.32.

This auction is currently pegged for shipping in the smaller box. If you want the larger box and/or insurance, let me know before paying and I'll send a revised invoice, it will cost more for shipping.

Buyer pays shipping/handling. Standard method within U.S. is Media Rate, $4.00 This includes delivery confirmation which enables you to track shipping of your package online. Outside U.S., e-mail location to determine S/H costs prior to auction end. Insurance / other methods of shipping cost extra. Payment received within ten days of auction ending.
