71

This is a very rare clean original stereo pressing of first album by acclaimed 1960s and 1970s singer songwriter Laura Nyro, More Than A New Discovery, released in 1967 by Verve Folkways Records. There are several well known originals on the album that were written by the artist that were covered by and were hits for several artists, including Wedding Bell Blues, And When I Die, Stoney End and Blowin Away. This album is very rare and hard to find on the original Verve Folkways label in such clean condition, many times rarer than on the 2d Verve Forecast label.

The LP visually is near mint condition and plays very nicely. The cover is in very good plus condition. All corners are reasonably sharp, with minor dings on both mouth corners. The spine and seams are strong with no splits with just minor spot wear. The front and back covers are very clean with just very light wear. In grading I use Excellent instead of VG++ for those items deemed just a notch below near mint.

Please understand that opened play graded copies may have been graded several weeks before listing and may be available for sale for some time, so the LP must be cleaned again before play. LP's are cleaned manually as I no longer have machine, so matter may have settled in the grooves in the interim. Please do not claim LP is not as described if you play the LP before cleaning the LP.

The LP will be shipped within 24 hours of payment, which is expected within 3 days of auction end, in specially made LP mailer with the LP separated from the cover (for unsealed items) and well packaged to protect the item from damage during shipment. Returns are accepted as long as LP is returned in the condition received. Return of sealed items will only be permitted if returned unopened.

Shipping cost is $4 per LP. To reduce shipping cost, I will combine shipping on multiple items bid and won during the same auction cycle. Please do not pay until I have had the opportunity to manually adjust the shipping cost. I cannot hold items for multiple auction cycles as it will affect my EBAY standing in so far as it concerns shipment time. I only accept bids from US based buyers and will only ship to the address recorded for the buyer on PAYPAL, which is the only method I can accept for payment.

Please keep in mind that I am a person looking to sell their collection and not a store or commercial seller. I play grade open items sold and do the best I can in the process to give an honest assessment of the item As is shown by my feedback I think I do a good job of satisfying most buyers. I leave feedback for all buyers and if you are satisfied with the transaction I would greatly appreciate positive feedback from the buyer as well. It does not take very long and is very important to me as seller. If for any reason you cannot leave positive feedback or are not satisfied, please have the courtesy of contacting me before leaving negative or neutral feedback. In almost all cases the issue can be worked out to the buyers satisfaction even if it means returning the item. If the item is not as described I will bear all shipping costs including return shipping. If a buyer behaves in a rude or unreasonable manner, and/ or fails to contact me to address issues they have with an item before negative or neutral feedback is left, I will block that buyer from further auction participation. I also reserve the right to block any buyer that leaves negative or neutral feedback when I have done everything possible to put the buyer in a position as if the transaction had not taken

Please also note that the one unfounded negative feedback I just received, the first in 7 years as a member, was from an unreasonable non US buyer, even though my ad states that my business is directed to US based buyers, and who did not contact me until 30 days after the item was delivered. Even after that I offered to take the item back although I was under no obligation to do so. The buyer demanded a more than 50% refund of the price paid. The feedback materially misrepresented the condition of the item sold. There was no long feel able mark just a non feel scuff. I only heard minimal crackle mostly in dead areas and i am willing to bet the buyer never bothered to clean the record, a major problem it seems for new collectors.

I am auctioning almost 5000 records of my own collection, including rock. soul, blues and jazz, that are very clean and, included are some very rare items that rarely are available for purchase
