JOE BATAAN - Subway Joe - SEALED original Fania Mono LP

$

69

Hi everyone,   We just posted a good number of Sealed lp records - many are very interesting titles.  Please check out our other auctions. 

The full band name is Joe Bataan and the Latin Swingers - and they don't just Swing, they Boogaloo! This is his 2nd lp, from 1968. It is in beautiful, fresh SEALED condition. Not a reissue. A rare treasure in this condition - really!

ALSO note - We cannot offer returns on these sealed LP's, as we are moving overseas in July and will not have time to process, etc..

Here is my Grading Key - Grading is by visual inspection only, but being a long-time record collector, I've gotten pretty good at it.  I will mention if I play graded, which I do if it seems necessary.

NM   Near Mint - no marks of any sort. The highest grade for an open LP, such as one that was played only once to tape it.
NM-  Beautiful vinyl but may show multiple spindle marks on the label or very light sleeve rubs.  A "rub" appears as a slight surface discoloration - it is not an abrasion, like a "scuff" that occurs when dirt is present.
VG++  Visual evidence of use but near zero chance of noise once cleaned properly.
VG+  Only light surface marks (such as sleeve scuffing). One or two small needle marks is allowable if they are not the type that normally sound. Overall: minor noise unlikely but not impossible.
VG   Means "Very Good", not "thrashed" like it often does on Ebay. Heavier scuffing or multiple light needle scratches.  Should play fine with normal, non-annoying, occasional clicks or ticks - no loud Pops. 
VG-  Definitely more noise than we would like. I won't usually offer these unless I believe they are really rare, worthwhile listening, or go along with a group.
SEALED  Means just that.  We're happy to guarantee what's inside is VG+ or better, but you can't always assume they are MINT or NM.
One caveat about play graded lp's - everyone's cartridge has different attributes. It's possible that mine (Shure V15V-mr) plays a particular lp quietly that yours does not, or vice versa.

Good luck, enjoy!

INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS - Important -

1.   Please check the "Calculated Shipping" below for your actual costs before bidding. Especially if this item is OVER 4LBS. - the package has to go International Priority, which is expensive.

2.   We will ship First Class International if you choose, but the Postal Service DOES NOT OFFER INSURANCE AS AN OPTION on that type of mail.  We will have a USPS receipt as proof that we shipped your item.  If you want to save money by using this method, you must agree to take the risk of damage or non-delivery yourself.  We will not take responsibility for uninsured or under-insured items.  If you cannot agree to this and/or don't want to pay the International Priority rate (which includes insurance) -  then do not bid.

3.   No Bidders from Italy - We sorry, but do not accept bids from Italy. Period.  If you bid, it will be canceled.  Italy has been nothing but headaches, with many non-paying bidders and lp's supposedly "lost" in the mail.

Hi - The INTERNATIONAL shipping is not showing the cheaper First Class option due to an error, and since there is a bid, I cannot add it to the auction now. If you are interested in bidding and would want it mailed First Class, please email me for your country's rate. Most of them are between $14 and $18.
