Shipping:
I'm happy to combine shipping. Up to four 12" records can be shipped together for the same price (excluding doubles and box sets). If one of your items ships for free, up to 3 more can also ship for free. Items are shipped in cardboard mailers. Contact me with questions or requests.
General Notes:
This record comes from my personal collection (non-smoking household). As a lifelong audiophile and vinyl collector, I've spent countless hours sorting through records looking for items I like and making purchases of those in the best possible condition. A number of years ago, I sustained some sudden hearing loss. Hearing aids work great for all of the daily needs, but for music they aren't good. So, my collection needs to be moved on to others who will listen to these records and cherish the music recorded in their grooves.
I am a fastidious owner. Upon my purchase, vinyl was cleaned on a VPI record cleaner if deemed necessary, i.e. sparingly in the name of preservation, and covers routinely transferred to a new polypro or mylar outer sleeve and discs to new 'rice paper' inner sleeves. All original artifacts I purchased have been retained and will be included in the sale. The pictures should be helpful in this regard; the pictures are of the exact item on auction. My grading is on the conservative side leaning in your favor. Anything listed with average or below average condition will be the more rare items. Please feel free to ask any questions that will aid in making a confident purchase.
I use three grading standards only, to keep it simple. They are:
* Excellent - exceptionally clean * Very Good - shows minor signs of wear but still very clean * Good - shows greater signs of wear
If the listing is for a SEALED record, the vinyl is presumed mint though I'll still make notes on the album cover condition since bent corners do exist on sealed records!
When in doubt - examine the pics and ask questions. I take pains to make accurate and high-res photographs, they often show most defects quite clearly.
