The Cramps - A Date with Elvis - New Rose Records - 1986 - This is a French Import - 
Jacket:  VG+  Jacket is actually NM except for the bottom seam has separated due to dried out glue.  There is NO tear.  I don't know what's up with Euro and South American manufacturers because that dried out glue happens all the time and is rare with American jackets.  You can reglue or not, but the Jacket is really NM otherwise.
Inner Sleeve:  Original inner sleeve with lyrics and photo included and in NM shape.
Vinyl:   VG++  A few surface marks/scratches but plays super nice.  I listened to first two cuts on Side A
I am happy to combine shipping.  Most shipping boxes can handle 3 or 4 LPs.   We can discuss shipping if you purchase more.
PLEASE READ ALL INFO BELOW ON GRADING, TERMS AND BASIC AUCTION DETAILS
MY LPS
With few exceptions, all the LPs I am offering come from my personal collection.   Most were purchased on Ebay over many years.  They have all received excellent care while in my possession both on the turntables/cartridges used and in storage, most having polylined inner sleeves and plastic outer covers.  That doesn't mean they are all NM as sometimes I wanted albums for the price, experimentation or easy playing so a decent copy is all I wanted.  In other cases I really wanted as close to "mint" as possible.  Just rest assured they have all been treated well for years.  
GRADING
Grading is subjective.  I will do my best to be accurate as I want buyers to be satisfied.  I am cleaning all the LPs then both visually and play grading.  Sometimes LPs really are near mint but still have pops or noise due to the PRESSING itself or the original material (as in 1930's jazz recordings).   I will attempt to describe such as I will listen to one full cut from each LP.   I use only the categories VG and NM along with a plus or a minus.   I no longer will use "mint" as any LP other than sealed will have some question (even new sealed LPs weren't always "mint").  In many cases NM really will effectively be Mint.  I just won't use the term Mint.  Anything below VG won't be listed, it goes to the thrift stores.  
NM - Jacket tight, no splits, tears, writing, discoloration, etc.  Vinyl - Shiny, clear of most any surface scratches, sounds excellent with no pops, scratches except perhaps can be heard between cuts or in the quietest of passages.  As noted above if I consider the noise to be part of the PRESSING while the vinyl looks pristine, I may grade NM but will mention the situation.
VG - Jacket generally tight, will exhibit shelf wear, small splits or tears, etc.   Vinyl - Sound is excellent but has extra pops or noise from being played or perhaps a slight warp that does not inhibit normal play.   Anything below this will not be offered.  
+(-) will be used at my discretion to help further grade the jackets and vinyls.  For example, VG++ might be used where I just can't quite give it a NM status but it's closer to NM than to VG.   I'll do my best but no doubt not everybody is going to see eye to eye with me on every LP.   You'll have to have a little faith here but I do want to maintain my good rating at Ebay so I have an incentive not to over grade.  If I do, you may buy once but not again.   
STANDARD DETAILS
-   All LPs manually cleaned on my Spin Clean set up -  All LPs visually and play graded (I listen to one complete cut per LP, usually 1st cut, Side A unless I see an issue elsewhere) -  All LPs come with paper inner sleeve, most with polylined paper sleeve and plastic cover for jacket (unless otherwise noted) -  All LPs shipped in cardboard LP mailers.  I do NOT make money on shipping.  Minimum media mail postage is $2.85.  I add the cost of the mailers and packaging.  That's it.  I don't understand how some people expect shipping to be lower than seller cost, especially when I list items for 99 cents.   -  Returns are NOT accepted unless I've really screwed up.  I am as straightforward in my descriptions as possible.
