Thank you for your interest in my Listings. My weekly auction listings are unmatched in overall condition and value. I ask my buyers to compare value and condition with other equivalent listings. Everything I list is offered at an opening bargain value price. I list to sell and guarantee everything as described. 

Without question, one totally freakish period piece album ever made and an absolute must for any collector of sixties historic recordings or groupie madness. From 1969 and issued on Straight Records 1059 in stereo by the GTO's (Girls Together Outrageously) titled Permanent Damage, original issue that contains the lyric and photo booklet. All subject matter and lyrics and dialog are the girls own attitudes and not censored. Members were sixties groupie chicks. Miss Pamela was known for servicing such stars as Jimmy Page, Keith Moon and Gram Parsons and later married Michael DesBarres. Album is produced by Frank Zappa and contains guest appearances by Jimmy Carl Black, Ian Underwood, Jeff Beck, Nicky Hopkins, Rod Stewart, Don Preston and of course Frank Zappa. Vinyl has had some use with light  handling scuffs and play quality is a superb vg+ with little to no extraneous noise. Label is near mint with no spindle scuffs, contains the original lyric booklet and gatefold cover is a weak vg+ with clean front appearance, minor shelf wear and corner bruises with minor creases. Not much need for me to list all 17 song titles, besides, it's not like anyone is going to say, "Gee, I remember that one"! Guaranteed as described and I ask winner to cheerfully pay shipping cost. Vinyl will be VPI wet vac cleaned and in high density lined inner sleeve (Am I the only vinyl seller left on ebay that provides that civility?) Thank you. "How embarrassing it is at only 13...To have to take showers in front of a dyke gym teacher who drools at the sight of your pectoral muscles flexing, smelling of four laps around the track, 50 push-ups multiplied by 200 girls...The cracks of backs hitting cement floors as we strained our bodies into womanhood".

PACKAGING 

All records are professionally packaged and most are shipped in cardboard LP mailers with cardboard flats & bubble wrap. Larger bulk shipments are all shipped in new boxes designed to accommodate records and packaging. I do not skimp on packaging in order to save a few cents on shipping cost. Please do not instruct me on how to safely package vinyl.

RECORD GRADING USED LP'S

I place emphasis on play grade, maintain the highest professional standards, do spot check play grading on all individual auction items and always provide an accurate visual grade and label appearance. I play grade on a quality system with a high end cartridge in order to maintain a strict and undisguised play grade. I always keep my grading simple and fair and will not subject my customers to a proliferation of meaningless grades. If a record plays between two grades I always apply the lesser grade, I don't create a grade in an attempt to articulate a borderline evaluation.
nm....near mint, superb play quality with little to no signs of visual wear and plays with little to no extraneous noise. The only records that qualify for a "mint" grade on my listings are my new unplayed and unhandled store stock items.
vg+...very good plus, excellent play quality with minor use and little to no overall visual wear. Any minor scuffs, light surface scratches, or blemishes do not effect play and play grade may have some very minor extraneous area noise.
vg....very good, very playable, probably with some extraneous surface noise. A slightly mishandled or well used record. May have visual scratches or blemish. I generally do not auction vg albums unless they are exceptional pieces and highly sought after items. Most vg albums I will include in bulk lots.

I use standard record grading abbreviations and include cover grade within each description. I open, clean and inspect all suspect sealed older albums. 

Grading is very subjective and everyone has their position on determining various grades. I stand by my grading as stated within grading details above, but there are always those who have unrealistic high expectations. Please understand that many of my vinyl records are 20 to 60 years old. In my experience I have rarely found vinyl of this vintage that, under extreme scrutiny, does not have a hairline scuff, mark, blemish or manufacturing smudge. Realistic expectations when buying vintage records should be applied.  If you have a problem, contact me and explain exactly what the issue is, please don't regrade the album. 

GUARANTEE

Retail music is my full time occupation. Your satisfaction is important to me. I guarantee everything I sell and will be cooperative and understanding towards any of my valued customers who genuinely feel I may have not maintained my grading standards, have overlooked a flaw or manufacturing defect, or have mistakenly misrepresented an item. Buyer must initiate return process as specified within eBay. Returned item must be received in same condition as originally shipped. I will always conduct my business in a fair, courteous and respectful manner towards all my valued customers.
