The Yardbird's Little Games  The classic milestone record that straddles freakbeat, Psychedelia, blues and rock.  From 1967 this original pressing comes in the mono incarnation, which is highly desirable for it's well done, punchy, mono straight to the gut sound. 1st side has: XEM118047-1C and 2nd has: XEM118048-1C, both stamped.

The vinyl is very near to NM-  for having no marks to speak of other than a wisp or two between sides and a very clean surface. EX for being super clean looking and sounding.

This record plays flawlessly and will surpass expectations.

The cover is a clean VG for being heavy stock and completely intact. There is some age yellowing showing up mostly around the perimeter of the back and at the spine mostly. Cover has a punch hole near top LF cover and slight beginnings of ringwear at the front bottom and an even slighter bit at top. Bottom RF/LR opening corner has a wrinkle and the RF bottom corner has ink wore off but remains stubbornly straight while the back side of that it has some of that yellowing but is solid. All in all a cover that was well made as it has endured whatever was thrown at it with no splits and a spine that is all intact. Nice over all. A wanna be VG+.

I don't vacuum records yet but if you do then you get the benefit of a cleaner and probably better sounding LP than what I hear. I use a carbon fiber brush and I have advanced anti-static skills. I am working on the vacuum record cleaner. I do keep my quality stylus clean, well aligned and balanced as well. I never play a record groove more than once in a 24 hr. period as  a precaution towards keeping  wear at a minimum.

I package with LPs in anti-static sleeves next to cover both inside a poly protector sleeve -the same way I store them. Original inner sleeves stored inside cover. Padded with bubble wrap or similar inside a cardboard media mailer with an extra cardboard slice inside for extra protection. 

Selling off a good portion of collection so stay tuned. I basically will not list an item less than VG+ and see no reason to mess around with a disc less than VG+ to M. I have auctioned on Ebay before (2006 under 'pattyattywatty') with good feedback and no returns. I will grade per Goldmine and accepted standards and try to stay conservative. VG+ is the same as EX per Goldmine, so I may say something is EX+ which just means 'damn close to NM' which is just my variation of their guidelines.  If the record requires detailed explanation I try to give it.  I will try to list items worth the effort.

U.S. : I usually add tracking as it's cheap. Will give breaks on combined mailing: I can do 2 LPs for $4.00.  For more than two LPs the cost would be something like a $1.25 per disc beyond 2. For quantity of more than 2 OR ANY OTHER SHIPPING SERVICE  BESIDES ECONOMY MEDIA MAIL or if insurance is needed, please WAIT FOR INVOICE.  In those situations. Request an invoice reflecting how you would like your item sent.

International: I am not set up for anything except being able to calculate the cost of shipping through software that allows me to purchase and print USPS service according to location and selection of service such as 1st class (16-23 U.S.$) which is slow and cheapest (no tracking). Priority (29-36 U.S.$) which is 6-10 days and Express (38-40 U.S.$) which is 3-5 days. They can all be insured for the value of item I believe but tracking is only for Express and maybe Priority. There is a form of internal tracking within this software for all of the options but only The Express service has a tracking number that works with Ebay correctly (maybe Priority as well, I'm just not sure). So please if you are outside of the U.S. request an invoice and state which postal service you would like, how quick, with insurance etc.

PayPal only. 

Returns officially clicked to off as an incentive for me to be accurate in my listing description. If there is an error on my part please let me know within 3 days after receiving and I am sure we can work it out. Buyer pays return postage of item as it was shipped to them. I know the items I am selling so it should go without saying that if an item is returned for some reason then it should be the exact same item sent to the buyer and not anything else.
