This is not one of those new repressings, this is the original 1974 release, the cover is in very good++ condition, slight bump in upper left corner, the vinyl is very good+, it has a few very light marks, nothing major, no deep scratches, I worshipped this lp like one of my own children, where ever they may be??????

Did you hear the rumor about The Residents getting ready to do an opera of Meet The Residents, das is vunderbar!!!!!!

Also please note, Ebay for some reason has included delivery time of 2 to 3 days, why they do this, who knows, but just so you don't get in a panic, your time may vary!!!!! Just a bit!!!!!

BIDDING REQUIREMENTS:

Sorry I have to do this, but anybody thinking of bidding on my records must have at least 10 positive feedbacks, I tried to leave this auction open to everybody, but have had problems with new bidders who don't really know what's going on, or how Ebay works.
Also, please wait for me to send you an invoice after the auction so I can make sure all the details for shipping are correct, I will try to get your item(s) mailed out to you the next day following your payment but on occasion it may take me a day or two at the most, if your sending a money order or well concealed U.S. dollars, please let me know so I can have an idea what's going on.
This is not a business, it is not a record store, even though I have far more rare records than any store could imagine, they are all mine, which I have collected since 1960, I collected records like some people collect baseball cards, but now find myself surrounded by thousands of records, and they must all go!!!!!
 
SHIPPING INFO:
I ship USPS.   US -- $6 for the 1st LP (Priority) insurance included, $1 for each additional item,  

Canada is $8.00, rest of world $12.00, $2.00 for each additional item, I ship Global Priority where possible.

Please contact me if you have any questions, I prefer Paypal but will except Bidpay and money orders in U.S. Dollars, please contact me within 3 days of auction end, must recieve payment within 14 days of purchase, item ships when payment recieved.

Please note shipping costs, I use Priority and Global Priority for the simple reason that the faster the item gets to you, the less risk of loss or damage to the item, there are countries that do not except Global Priority and I will adjust the price accordingly, if you really want to save a few dollars on shipping, I will do this for you, but please just be aware of the risks involved, if you have any questions, please ask before bidding.


Feedback:

If you are not satisfied for some reason please contact us prior to leaving feedback so we can fix the problem.
We do want to make you happy, and love giving as well as getting positive feedback, all records are checked under a bright light and played before putting them up for auction, I won't sell it unless it meets my high standards!

Grading Definitions:

Mint (M): Absolutely perfect in every way - never played, possibly sealed. (Mint grading used sparingly if at all)
Near Mint (NM or M-): Near Mint is the highest grade listed in all Goldmine guides. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this, implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record shows no obvious signs of wear. Lp should look new, just purchased. No creases, folds, seam splits or visual defects.

Very Good Plus (VG +): Very Good Plus will show signs that it was played, and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show slight signs of wear and may have scuffs or light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. (Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK) NOTE: None of my records are warped!!!!!

Very Good (VG): Many of the defects found in VG + will be more pronounced on a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during intros and fades, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches that will affect the sound. This is the lowest price grade used by Goldmine listings, no need to go any lower than Very Good (VG) I won't sell it if it's not at least Very Good!

Please remember, these are records and not cds, and even a mint copy of a record will have a minimal amount of surface noise, the more +++ after very good, the closer the record is to near mint, I don't think any record is mint unless it is still sealed, and even in that case, there are some manufacturers who have poor quality vinyl, I'll try to indicate this when I can, I won't try to rip you off, I will do my very best to give you an accurate description, and will do my very best to assist you in any way I can, I want you to have a pleasant experience and that is my main goal, so have fun, and please, ask me any questions you may have before you bid, I'll try to give you all the info I can! - THE DROOGSTER
