ALBUM CONDITION ~ NEW ~ SEALED, never opened or played

I cannot guarantee perfection inside the sleeve other than to say that
MFSL produced some of the finest vinyl in it's day.
Storage has been proper

COVER CONDITION ~ EXCELLENT

• This is a very well produced and preserved cover with no splitting & very minor cracking around the edges.

• The corners are almost perfectly square and clean except for:

       > A minor crinkle on the top right front corner (Photo A) This photo overemphasizes the flaw intentionally
       > A small scuff on the bottom left front corner (Photo B) Again, overemphasized by magnification
       > There is also a small bit of paper cracking on this corner (Photo B)

• The spine topography has a 2 mm shift towards the back, but does not wrap around to the back. (Photo C)

• The gatefold is slightly out of square with a 3 mm overlap on the top & 3 mm underlap on the bottom (Photo D)

• The Poly sleeve is 'gathered' slightly on the spine edge (from the heat seal process, I believe)
   However it remains solidly sealed at that point. (Photo C)

• There is also a 2 mm hole in the Poly seam edge on the bottom spine corner (Photo C)

• And of course, there are 2 factory air holes in the middle of the Poly, front and back.

• Inserted Liner Notes, Photos, & Artwork appear to be intact, but cannot confirm without completely opening
   the seal .

• All this considered, it's in great condition for it's age.

The Fine Print ~

I am an Audiophile, (not a record dealer or audio equipment reseller) and live in Ontario, Canada • Over the coming weeks, I will be offering a portion of my vinyl collection for auction on eBay • My activity as a seller on eBay, over the past 5 years, has been involved with Fine Photographic Equipment and High End Audio Equipment, the majority of which comes from my personal collections • Any items that are not mine personally, have been entrusted to me by friends who respect my honesty, knowledge and expertise in these areas.

NOTE >>>You will find that my descriptions are detailed and straightforward, with a tendency to understate the condition of an item • Exaggerated or misleading statements are just not my style • Standardized condition charts are not my style either; I'm too picky and there are too many grading systems, leading to confusion • Instead, I prefer to tell the story using my own Ears, Words and Photos • If you require clarification on anything, PLEASE ASK BEFORE you become the winning bidder • I will answer & post all questions, so please read through • This will avoid a misunderstanding or dispute later on.

A Happy Buyer = A Happy Seller and Good Communication is the key to this formula. I'll do my part....

I don't have hundreds of feedback scores, but if you read my profile comments, you'll find that my integrity speaks for itself.

Enough said.

Payment ~

• PAYPAL PLEASE, WITHIN 24 HOURS.

Shipping ~

• PACKAGING WILL BE TREATED CAREFULLY, AS IF I WAS SHIPPING TO MYSELF!

• I USE DOUBLE CARDBOARD, LAYERED CROSS GRAIN FOR EXTRA STRENGTH, WITH BUBBLE WRAP
   INSIDE AS A CUSHION FOR THE LP. THIS RESULTS IN EXTRA WEIGHT AND COST, BUT IT'S CHEAP
   INSURANCE CONSIDERING THE VALUE OF THE CONTENTS. A SINGLE LP INCLUDING PACKAGING
   WEIGHS JUST UNDER 1 Kg or 2 Lbs

• I'M INCLUDING AN EXTRA POLY LINED, ANTI STATIC, RECORD SLEEVE AND
A 3 MIL POLY OUTER COVER SLEEVE (Just because I like you)

• SHIPPING SERVICES CAN BE MODIFIED TO MEET YOUR NEEDS.
PLEASE CONTACT ME TO CONFIRM SHIPPING COST, BEFORE YOU PAY YOUR INVOICE.
IN THIS WAY, WE CAN DISCUSS SHIPPING OPTIONS TO SUIT YOUR PRIORITIES OR BUDGET.

• I WILL HOLD YOUR ITEMS FOR COMBINED SHIPPING AT YOUR REQUEST, PROVIDING THE ITEM
HAS BEEN PAID. SHIPPING WILL THEN BE INVOICED SEPARATELY AT A COMBINED RATE.

• I DON'T FUDGE CUSTOMS DECLARATIONS. TOO MUCH STRESS AND TOO MANY RULES TO KEEP STRAIGHT.

To the Winning Bidder ~

• CONGRATULATIONS! :D

• HAPPY LISTENING OR COLLECTING AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION & CONFIDENCE.

• I WILL GLADLY LEAVE POSITIVE PROFILE FEEDBACK FOLLOWING YOUR POSITIVE FEEDBACK TO MY PROFILE.

• IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS OR ISSUES >> PLEASE REMAIN CALM << AND CONTACT ME FOR DISCUSSION.
