Prestige 7383, "The New Folk Sound of Terry Callier" from 1965.  This is an original pressing of this seminal LP.  Most of the vinyl play-grades at VG++ with very little background sound, but the final track on Side A appears to have a small pressing defect that causes a light crackling sound.  Jacket has solid seams all around; there is corner wear on the top corners; there are no bends; jacket back is basically clean with some age toning and a "Preview Copy" stamp (see scan).  Songs are "900 Miles", "Oh Dear What Can the Matter Be", "Johnny Be Gay If You Can Be", "Cotton-Eyed Joe", "It's About Time", "Pronenade in Green" (="Green Rocky Road"), "Spin, Spin, Spin", and "I'm A Drifter".  Shipping is $4.00 media mail, $7.00 priority mail in the continental U.S.; $15.00 airmail for Europe, Australia, Japan, and Korea; elsewhere inquire.  Insured priority shipping required for Italy and Brazil.  Additional LPs in one package are $1.00 per extra LP in U.S. and Canada, $2.00 per extra LP overseas.  All LPs are play-graded unless sealed.  I dislike low-quality packaging as much as any other eBayer.  Individual records will be shipped in special, handcrafted mailers unlike the usual type in three ways: (1) They are significantly larger all around and padded around the edges to prevent corner bumps to the jacket; (2) they are padded on both sides of the record with styro sheets or thick cardboard sheets to prevent damage to the record surface; (3)  they are constructed of heavier-duty cardboard than normal mailers to provide further protection.  All used LPs are shipped with record securely inside an inner sleeve but outside the jacket to prevent seam splitting in transit; our innovative padded packaging will prevent seam splitting for new, sealed LPs.  The end product is designed to withstand a drop from a second-story window with no damage (though I will not test it with your package).  No record should arrive in a condition worse than described!  Multiple LPs are shipped in BagsUnlimited pizza-style boxes that are larger around than LPs and will also be well padded.
