COMMENTS:  Welcome and thanks for looking!  This LP forms part of the original one owner collection that I personally purchased with my own hard earned childhood money. I do not shop through yard sales or attic collections. This is and always has been MY ALBUM.  I am and continue to be an avid music and entertainment connoisseur, who has taken my media very serious and meticulously treated the care of my records as being part of my life.  You can be certain that this record has been played on only the very best audio equipment. Every post 1970's record was played on a superbly balanced Harmon Kardon straight-tracking turntable to minimize any groove wear. Every album was always cleaned before play with Discwasher D4 solution. Unfortunately, I had a few mishaps and some may have minor scratches and I will let you know if that is an issue and where they are located. I will do my best to answer any question relating to this LP.

PACKAGING:  Each LP will be shipped separately, in an industry-standard 12" cardboard mailer. Extra packing will be included as required. Openings will be sealed with clear packaging tape.

POSTAGE:  All LP's are dispatched individually, but I may offer a discount for multiple buys unless requested. I will package and ship your vinyl record with the greatest care, to ensure that this collectible vinyl record arrives in pristine condition.  I guarantee every item I sell to be as listed. I strive to provide superior service, but if I make an error, I will make every effort to make it right.

All domestic orders are shipped MEDIA MAIL unless PRIORITY is requested at time of payment.

PAYMENT: I accept Paypal Only. Please do not bid unless you have Paypal! It may be more expensive, but at least they are on hand if there are problems. Thank You. Payment is within 2 days, please.

NOTE: Buying a record of this age inevitably involves an element of risk. However, I can assure that the record and sleeve are in truly advertised condition. I sincerely doubt you could find better however, in this age of digital quality, the odd pop and crackle sometimes prevails. The joy of vinyl, perhaps? But as a collector, you will be already aware of the erratic nature of 60's/90's pressing quality!

Caution:  EBay photos are at best mediocre and should only be used as a guide. Please don't bid unless you are going to buy! Due to the delicate nature of the LP, I cannot offer refunds unless I made a mistake in the description However, in the unlikely event of not being truly satisfied, contact me to discuss before leaving feedback. Yes, I want a sale, but I'm equally concerned that you should be happy with your purchase. I am not a trader but only a part-time EBAYer, so please allow time for me to respond to your questions/winning bids.

Note: The above information is deemed to be my Terms of Sale. Please don't bid unless you agree with them.  

This is part of a much larger auction that I will post when allotted. I have approximately 300 LP's to sell.... Thanks Again and Good Luck!

Record Grading Standards

The Disc (Vinyl) and the Album Cover are graded separately.

DISC (VINYL) GRADES

SS
(STILL SEALED)

Sealed at factory and never opened. Disc is assumed to be undamaged and mint, but this cannot be proven until the album is actually opened and the disc examined.

M
(MINT)

Perfection, no flaws, defects, marks or otherwise indications of being handled or played. Any scuffs, hairline scratches or other marks disqualify discs from this category.

NM or M-
(NEAR MINT or MINT MINUS)

This is the next highest grade that I will assign to opened, handled records. The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. The label is bright, clean and unmarked.

E or VG++
(EXCELLENT or VERY GOOD ++)

Disc plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a hairline scratch or two but nothing that is obvious or affects play. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked.

VG+
(VERY GOOD PLUS)

Some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact on the sound quality. Vinyl will still have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections (small labels or initials, etc.) but otherwise clean.

VG
(VERY GOOD)

Vinyl will have noticeable scratches or scuffs that cause minor surface noise, but do not overpower the music. There will be no skips. Vinyl may appear somewhat dull and grayish. Labels may have small tears, tape marks, larger writing, etc. but still easily legible. There may be wear or deformation of the spindle hole.

G
(GOOD)

Well-played, dull, grayish vinyl with deeper scratches and wear causing distracting surface noise (hisses, pops, cracks and other imperfections).  The record will still play through without any skips. Labels may be significantly defaced or damaged.

F
(FAIR)
P
(POOR)

Unless the record is particularly rare, I would not try to sell a record in this condition. There will be major noise, surface damage, deep scratches, and skips. Attempting to listen to these discs will be painful. These discs are basically trash unless a collector desires one to fill a space in a collection until a better one comes along.

ALBUM COVER GRADES

SS
(STILL SEALED)

Album is still in the factory-applied shrink-wrapping.

M
(MINT)

Absolutely perfect; no corner dings, marks, tears, dents, impressions from the disc, or other flaws. Cover should appear as if a record has never been inside.

NM or M-
(NEAR MINT or MINT MINUS)

Very minor signs of wear or cover impressions. Artwork is as close to perfection as possible.

E or VG++
(EXCELLENT or VERY GOOD ++)

Minor disc impression or slight corner creases, no wrinkles, puckers, seam splits or writing on the cover. Artwork is clean and unworn and there is no ink wear.

VG+
(VERY GOOD PLUS)

Cover is clean but may have minor writing or marks and may show slight wear. There may be just the start of ring wear, where the disc has created a raised area on the cover that resulted in the ink wearing off the paper. There may be slight discoloration or staining, minor seam wear, but no splits or tears. Corners may have small creases or fraying.

VG
(VERY GOOD)

Covers are worn and used. Seams may be starting to split or may have been unobtrusively repaired with clear tape. (I use special archival-quality, non-yellowing, clear tape for all repairs.) There is moderate ring wear, but the artwork is still attractive. There may be yellowing or discoloration and there may be larger writing, labels, or marks. Corners may have damage or creases and there may be scratches or gouges that otherwise damage the artwork.

G
(GOOD)

Several (but not all of the following flaws will apply: Seam splits, large marker writing, major seam splits, significant ring wear, damaged corners, tears, cuts, gouges, masking or duct tape seam repairs, or other flaws and damage. Again, probably only useful to fill a collection niche until something better can be found.

F
(FAIR)
P
(POOR)

Trash, useable only to keep the record off the floor.
