Description
The winnings of this auction will go to the renting of recording equipment. My band is getting ready to record an album and we need to raise as much money as possible to rent amps, guitars, microphones, and a reel-to-reel machine. We've decided to gather our records, equipment, and other odd items to sell on ebay and craigslist.
The Listing:
Ralph Records - 10th Anniversary Radio Special. From Discogs: A small-run promotional item for Ralph's 10th birthday. The premise of this record is that Penn Jillette (of Penn & Teller fame) is locked in a hotel room for a week and given the entire Ralph Records discography to listen to and comment on. There is a short excerpt of a Ralph tune, and then Penn comments on it, and so on. Jillette dislikes the records, and by side 2 he has a nervous breakdown.
This resulting 3-sided show was edited from over 50 hours of music and taped commentary.
Side four of the recording (10 Years In 20 Minutes) was not part of the "Jillette sessions", but was included as a special bonus.
800 of these special two-abums sets were made, and were send out only to radio stations and to friends of Ralph Records.
Wrong catalog numbers 8502 (instead of 8205) on discs labels.
Sleeve: Low VG Plenty of rubbing and some scratches, some light stains on back pictured above. Definitely noticeable wear but no visible seam splits.

Grading System: Like most sellers, the only time the grade "M" or Mint is used, is if a record is sealed. Even a sealed record will have it's sleeve inspected for dings or dents. That being said, for every grade used (NM, EX, VG+, VG, VG-, and G), I will add an extra category to each in order for there to be a TOP VG+ or a LOW VG+.
For example: A Low EX is slightly better than a Top VG+, and a top VG is nearly as good as a Low VG+. As I've stated, I have had too many sellers who vaguely label everything VG+ even if it plays like a VG, and use NM when there are clearly scratches on 20-30% of the record. I will only use NM if the record appears to have 95% of its surface immaculate, and even then, any apparent factory defects can not affect play.
In my opinion, about 70% of the records rated VG+ on Ebay that I've purchased should have been rated VG if using true goldmine standards. I personally do not use goldmine standards because I can offer a more detailed and accurate appraisal.
All of the records I have for sale are from my personal collection.
I've listened to every single one of these LPs, the last thing I want to do is mislead a fellow record collector on an item they've probably been waiting to own.
Every record I own has been stored in a cool, dry shelf away from all light and heat, in a room that never gets higher than 65 degrees fahrenheit.
If you have ANY questions about specifics, please message me. I do digital transfers of my LPs, so most of them have only been played a handful of times once in my possession. In most cases, I can offer a sound sample if you e-mail me.
Record will be packed with reinforced cardboard and a quality cardboard mailer. I can only ship to the US, UK, and Canada. For US mainland, shipping will be $4.00. For Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and the UK, I will have to quote you a shipping charge when the auction ends. Please wait for a message from me with the correct amount for shipping to anywhere besides the US mainland. I write "No Returns" for my own protection, as it's common for people to scam. If you truly don't believe that the record matches the description, message me and hopefully we can work something out.
Once again, I will only ship to the US, England, and Canada. My apologies if you live somewhere else.
In my experience, even most brand new, unopened records have small amounts of surface noise here and there. Some are better than others, but keep in mind I am very strict with my grading that I only use NM when it's actually true.
Good luck bidding, and please feel free to ask any questions.
