ATTENTION international bidders!
Please understand that altering the final price of online purchases to avoid customs fees is illegal.  Every order is processed 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 & shipping!
I provide ample padding in each package to prevent shifting during the shipping process. I also use industry-standard shipping boxes which are specifically designed for shipping records. Records are shipped outside their sleeves (if a sleeve is included) and covers to prevent damage during transit.  


Goldmine Standard Grading:
SS / NM- / VG++ / VG+ / VG / G+ / G / P
I grade conservatively, please see my grading scale below the record description for more details.



Vinyl:  strong VG (6 or better out of 10)
This is a conservative grade. The record has been cleaned on my VPI machine and handled with care. To provide the best description possible, detailed text, numerous pictures and often audio clips are used to fully describe the record for sale.
Nice shine to the vinyl!  Strong playing record overall with light to moderate background noise overall with light pops along the way. There are light sleeve scuffs and light marks - nothing that creates a skip during playback. The record is as shown in the pictures.  Playback can be judged by the clips below - I've included longer clips in varying sections to give the best idea possible during play. Labels have a name on them, but are generally in nice shape.
Please judge the playback for yourself at the clips below.  For playback, I use a DUAL 731Q direct drive with an Ortofon 5E cartridge/stylus setup.

The clips you hear below are one clip from each side, respectively. This is a visual grade as well as a complete play grade. Again, please feel free to check the sound clips below!

Cover / Sleeve:  
The cover is in VG+ condition. NO open splits. Cover shows light to moderate signs of handling but is still in rather nice shape. There is a bow to the cover from top to bottom. Front cover is as shown, edges have some signs of contact wear and print chipping, still solid though there is one area of print wear at the top corner on the seam. Back cover shows some light contact wear and the white area has faded or foxed due to age. Some light creases, light wear at the mouth corners but overall a rather nice original cover here.
The inner sleeve is plain.
The record will be shipped outside the cover in the plain sleeve, then all is packed and padded as all my records ship. Please see my feedback to rest assured I take pride in my shipping practices.
Please inspect the pictures well for something I may have missed mentioning. I've enjoyed the record while I've owned it, its time to let it go to make room for more acquisitions. I try to be conservative when grading, I hope my description was sufficient.



Thanks for looking!
Mike


P.S. As always, if you need any assistance or have any questions - please don't hesitate to ask.  I'll help out as soon as I possibly can. Again, I do the very best I can to insure the best transaction possible and personally handle, clean, play, photo, package and ship each record. I take my records very seriously.



Payment:
PayPal please

Packaging:
All records are packaged with care and shipped outside their sleeves and covers, encased in bubble wrap, padded with cardboard when necessary, boxed in record boxes and taped well. All orders are processed digitally to avoid shipping errors. Each buyer's physical address listed with PayPal and eBay will be automatically added to the label then printed and taped to the box. Delivery confirmation is free inside the US. International orders will have the complete order information including buyer name, record name, weight, final price and customs number clearly printed. Final value prices cannot and will not be altered for customs' sake, that practice is illegal and I will not mark any package as a gift. Please see the shipping details in the listing for the service being used. Buyer can contact me at any time to discuss further shipping arrangements.


Goldmine Grading Details
SS = Still Sealed
any defects will be listed and/or photographed to complete the description

NM- = Near Mint Minus
just short of perfect - acceptable defects would include a hairline mark not detectable to the touch and not affecting playback, background noise is nearly silent

VG++ = Very Good Plus Plus
most records I will list fall under this grade, just short of NM- but may have a mark or contact wear to the label to grade it slightly lower, maybe a drill hole or saw cut, maybe a mark or name written on the label lightly, sound is still great, loud and near perfect, cover may have slight edge or corner wear, maybe slight ring wear

VG+ = Very Good Plus
 a great record, sound is high quality though may have a few pops or clicks, overall very nice looking vinyl possibly with light marks & scuffs, labels may have a name or mark on them, possible light contact wear to the label, covers may have a small split but not large or gaping, edge wear on cover may show more than slight, may be a mark on cover

VG = Very Good
only records I will list with this grade would be rather rare or of higher book value, meant to sell as a filler until a better record comes along, vinyl may have feel-able marks but should play through without skipping, pops or clicks may be louder than usual, may have marks or wear on the label, cover may have open splits, wear on print, may have marks or other very apparent defects (all will be stated in description either by type or in the pictures)
