Description

Thanks for checking out my listing!
PLEASE SEE THE PICTURES ON THE LEFT FOR RECORD DETAILS SUCH AS ARTIST, LABEL, RECORD NUMBER, MATRIX NUMBERS AND GENERAL CONDITION. 

Please read all details carefully!


ATTENTION international bidders!  Please understand that altering the final price of any online purchase to avoid customs fees is illegal.  Since I process every order digitally, the shipping label affixed to the package will show the exact cost of the item.  I am an honest seller and cannot alter the amount, so please do not ask me to do so.

RECORD packaging and shipping method:  I am a record collector who understands the importance of securely packing records. I always pad the package well to prevent shifting during transit.  I also use industry-standard shipping boxes which are specifically designed for shipping records.


Here's a relatively rare album from The Teenagers Featuring Frankie Lymon on the red Gee label.


The vinyl is at least in VG+ condition
      (a conservative grade)
Record is as the pictures show. I've cleaned the record on my VPI machine.  Some general but very light sleeve scuffs and some light scratches, none that create a skip of course. There is some very light background noise throughout but in general, the record's playback is very nice.  The record looks exactly as the pictures on the left show...  It sounds exactly as the mp3 file plays below.

The actual, unedited sound file below is provided by my Technics Direct Drive TT with a Ortofon OMP 3E cartridge.  I cannot guarantee the record will sound exactly like the file below since every turntable is set up differently.


  Check out the sample below:

  Check out the second sample below:


The labels range from VG to VG++ condition
The pictures of the record's labels show them accurately.  Side One label is in great shape, looks nice and has very light - if any - wear.  Side Two has needle marks / print knicks - text is still completely readable. Nice original red labels.  Matrix numbers show clearly on the record and are stamped. 


The cover is in VG to VG+ condition
The many pictures of the cover provide an accurate description.  The cover has nice print on the front cover as the pictures show.  The edges on top and bottom show wear but are solid, this looks to be a repair but a good one at that.  The spine looks solid though there is print chipping there as well.  Part of the title on the spine is worn.  Corners show some wear.  A very small split at the corner at mouth.  Back cover is in great shape with some light foxing / some age spotting and light contact wear.  Top left has part of what looks to be the original price sticker. All print is still completely legible.  Nice cover overall here, not mint of course, but solid and relatively hard to find due to scarcity of the original red labels.


I grade conservatively and take a lot of time to properly list my records so please bid with confidence.  If you have any questions, please contact me through the 'ask seller a question' link on this page.

GRADING:
I will have the Goldmine Standard in mind when grading but will be taking plenty of pictures to represent the records condition. Any items having multiple condition grades: First grade is vinyl, second is the sleeve.


Here are grading abbreviations I may use:

bb-bb hole in cover
cc-cut corner
co-cutout
dh-drill hole
dj-disc jockey/promo
ep-extended play 7"
ph-punch hole
ps-picture sleeve
re-reissue
rw-ring wear sm spl-seam split
soc-sticker on cover
sol-sticker on lbl
sops-sticker on picture sleeve
toc-tape on cover
tol-tape on label
wlp-white label promo
woc-writing on cover
wol-writing on label


"Goldmine Standard" grading:

SS = Still Sealed
Never opened. Any flaws (torn shrinkrwrap, creasing) will be indicated in the description.

NM- = Near Mint Minus
Has been opened, but is still flawless
with no damage whatsoever.

VG+ = Very Good Plus
- Vinyl: May have scuff marks and signs of some wear but will still play almost perfectly throughout, with only "barely detectable" crackles or pops. A slight noise at the begining is allowable, but the remainder must be nearly flawless.
- Cover: May only have the slightest signs of normal wear.

VG = Very Good
The majority of records (worth selling) fall under this grade.
- Vinyl: May crackle, pop or make other annoying noises, but only occasionally,never continuously, and not more loudly than the music being listened to.
- Cover: Normal used cover wear such as ring wear and split seams. If there is abnormal damage such as tears or markings, but the seller still feels that it qualifies as a

"VG", the damage must be described in comments attached to the item.

G+ = Good Plus
- Vinyl: May have continuous crackles, pops, etc... but not so loud as to make the music completely unenjoyable for the casual listener.
- Cover: More than normal wear and tear.
