CONDITION OF COVERS AND INNER SLEEVES, LYRIC SHEETS, POSTERS, ETC.  (when available) ARE AS PICTURED.  WHAT IS PICTURED IS WHAT IS INCLUDED. THESE ARE PICTURES OF THE ACTUAL COVERS AND OTHER MATERIALS. SEE BELOW FOR VINYL AND COVER GRADING GUIDELINES.

Tip: Sometimes inner sleeves, lyric sheets and posters get a bit crinkly. Try this: Take the record out (I hope this is obvious), straighten out the sleeve as much as possible and then put it under a t-shirt or towel. Iron under low heat without steam. Don't press hard. Check it frequently. It can come out looking like it is new. I would do it before selling them, I just don't have the time.

Seller Terms

Automatic Cancellation Policy: 

Orders will be cancelled if payment is not received within 7 days.

Buyer pays $4.00 for media mail and packaging to the contiguous United States. For multiple records, I will invoice the buyer with an updated and discounted shipping total. Overseas shipping costs vary depending on weight and destination.

I accept returns if you are not completely satisfied with the condition of the record or sleeve or don't agree with the posted grading. I will even reimburse you for shipping both ways to keep you happy. All I ask is that you repackage it as sturdily as I did to protect the record(s). Once I have received the record(s) I will reimburse you fully. I want to encourage buyer confidence and promote a rad community.

I do not guarantee returns on any purchases overseas. I have plenty of faith in my gear. It simply isn't cost effective for me to rebate shipping both ways for overseas purchases, the shipping costs are too high. You are buying this record as described and it is honestly described. Feel free to contact me with any questions prior to bidding or purchasing.

Vinyl and Sleeve Grading:

MINT (M)

Sealed, never opened, with no damage to the sleeve such as creased corners.

I WILL ONLY USE THIS GRADING IF THE RECORD IS SEALED.

NEAR MINT (NM OR M-)

NM records are shiny, with no visible defects. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any spindle marks from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. Major factory defects also must be absent; a record and label obviously pressed off center is not Near Mint. If played, it will do so with no surface noise. (NM records don?t have to be never played; a record used on an excellent turntable can remain NM after many plays if the disc is properly cared for.)

NM covers are free of creases, ring wear and seam splits of any kind.

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) 

VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.

VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint.

Very Good (VG)

VG records have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise. Minor writing, tape or a sticker can detract from the label. Many collectors who have jukeboxes will use VG records in them and not think twice. They remain a fine listening experience, just not the same as if it were in better shape.

VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won't be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written on it or stamped a price tag on it, too.
