Description

Cover is VG+ with essentially no creases, and very minimal high-spot, corner and edge wear (see photos). There is a cut-out hole punched through the cover at top right, a 'Promotional Copy Not For Sale' sticker at bottom left, and a hype/language warning sticker at bottom right. Picture inner sleeve in nice shape but it has a 1-1/2" long edge tear on the bottom. I will make sure this doesn't get worse during shipping. Vinyl inspects EX. I only play-graded Side 1, but it was quiet and problem free. A really nice copy!

Terms (Please read before bidding!):

1) Payment is by PayPal only, and is due within 3 days of the end of the auction.

2) By default, I ship by USPS Media Mail with Tracking. If you prefer Priority Mail or UPS, those options are available, too.

3) ALL international shipments will be handled by eBay's Global Shipping Program; no exceptions. International buyers are responsible for all associated expenses and customs duties, and for informing themselves about the particulars of the Global Shipping Program prior to bidding.

4) I am happy to combine multiple items into a single shipment, but only on items that end on the same day and are purchased at the same time.

Bidding in this auction constitutes acceptance of the terms of sale as listed above.

Prompt payment ensures that your item will be shipped the next business day!

Please note:

I do not accept offers to close auctions early, or conduct private sales outside of eBay's auction system.

A postscript about my music auctions. I am not a dealer. I am (or was) a serious private collector. Almost all the records I'm now offering on eBay are ones I acquired myself in the 1970s and early 1980s, and most have remained unplayed and basically in a state of physical 'stasis' during the 30+ years since.

I put a lot of time and effort into my pictures. I want to make sure they accurately depict the item being auctioned – like they would look if you were actually holding them in your hands. Sometimes a mere photo won't do, though, so I'll make scans of the cover. (I do this by default for my most valuable offerings.)

Re: grading. I have very high standards for both the physical condition of an album and its playback characteristics. I strive to use the most accurate language possible in my descriptions, and compared to most other sellers, I tend to under-grade my records. (E.g. what I would grade as 'good' would probably be described by the majority of others here as 'excellent'.) Seriously, if I say an album is nice, be assured, it is really nice!

I also take the greatest of care packing your purchases for shipment. I only use brand new cardboard shipping boxes that are custom made for record albums. Additionally, I use pre-formed cardboard inserts as stiffeners and bubble wrap inside the box for maximum protection. Rest assured: I will make certain that you receive your record in exactly the same condition as it is shown/described here.
