Description: Up for your consideration is the next in a series of unique Lps, this one  featuring The Suburban Veterans Chorus.

A few unique things about this item:
Firstly, this record retains the original shine with some very light marks and fingerprints 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 played the entire disc and noted some scattered very light surface noise and scattered very light to light pops.  I'd audibly average the tracks between VG and VG+(excellent), closer to VG+(excellent).  If you want a detailed track-by-track analysis of an entire record, no problem.  Just drop me a note well in advance of the end of auction.  You can then assign your own grade based on my comments on what I heard and the GRADING SCALE BELOW!.      

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 past/present sales on e-bay.  NO COPIES FOUND FOR SALE OUT ON THE INTERNET!

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.

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).

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 single LP records in a 13x13x2 box.  Weight with box is about 1 pound 1 oz.  Shipping is 1-2 pounds Media Rate, $3.82 + $1.20 box = $5.02

Alternatively, I can ship in a  14 x 14 x 6" box. Weight with box is about 2 pound 1 oz. Shipping is $4.45 Media Rate (2-3 pounds) + $1.70 box/tape/packing  = $6.15.
