• Self-titled (The newest teen-age singing group) -- Label:  Decca -- Record#:  DL 4588

Special note to foreign bidders: NO FOREIGN SHIP ON THIS ITEM!

Description: Up for your consideration is the next in a series of unique Lps, this one by the Munsters.  As near as I can tell the actors in the TV series are NOT the singers on this record.  The actors from the TV show are pictured on the front cover (see scan).  Briefly, vinyl is used, cover almostly complete seam split.

A few unique things about this item:
Firstly, this record retains the original shine with some very light marks and small scuffs  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, let me suggest this auction is not for you.

I don't claim this record is mint.  I took the time to listen to it and found some very, very light to light surface noise, some very light to light pops.  I'd audibly average the 12 tracks around VG+.  You can assign your own grade based on my comments and the grading scale shown within the description.  The music was DOMINANT.  

Keep in mind how it plays for me may differ than how it plays for you based on differences in audio equipment. 

Secondly, at the time of this listing, no current offerings on e-bay for this particular issue!  A few past sales have exceeded $200!

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!

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):

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 a single record in a standard 12.5 x 12.5 x 1 record mailer.  Weight with box is 1 pound 1 ounces. Shipping is $3.17 Media Rate (1-2 pounds) + $1.20 box/tape/pack + $.50 handling = $4.87.
Alternatively, I can ship in a  14 x 14 x 6" box. Weight with box is about 1 pound 8 oz. Shipping is $3.17 Media Rate (1-2 pounds) + $1.70 box/tape/packing + $.50 handling = $5.37.

This auction is currently set to ship in the smaller box.  If you want the larger box, let me know and I'll send an appropriate invoice.
