Synopsis:                  I Feel Fine" is a riff-driven rock song written by John Lennon (credited to Lennon–McCartney) and released in   1964 by The Beatles as the A-side of their eighth British single. The song is notable for the use of feedback on a recording for the first time by any musician. "I Feel Fine" was the first of six number one songs in a row on the American charts, a record at the time. The subsequent singles were "Eight Days a Week", "Ticket to Ride", "Help!", "Yesterday", and "We Can Work It Out". 

My goal is to attain high customer satisfaction which will be achieved by selling products that are in at least NEAR MINT/VERY GOOD+ condition, along with using reasonable shipping costs. I won’t charge handling fees like some seller, but I will combine multiple wins to ensure that you get the optimal shipping cost. IF after you received your item and you have a problem PLEASE let me solve so that we can avoid possible unwarranted negative feedback. My only negative is from Member “dfwgent” and I never even shipped him an item (he was spiteful).

GRADING GUIDELINS

I do not use any “modified” versions of grading. I use true tried and tested Goldmine grading system. There is no need to confuse buyers therefore I use the grading scale that has been successful for thirty years. Unless otherwise stated, our products are VISUALLY graded with the aid of a bright 150W light bulb. I grade VERY conservatively, in order to ensure that buyers are happy. All flaws worth noting to potential buyers (scratches, MINOR warps, cut out holes, saw marks, split cover seams, writing, etc.) will be listed in the item descriptions in an attempt to avoid any, and all, surprises. Keep in mind, or be aware, that many import picture sleeve 45’s had jackets that were different than the U.S. releases as they look like a jacket but do not have three sides glued together.

·      M (Mint): Unopened record or compact disc.

·       NM (Near Mint): Vinyl that appears to have never been played. There are simply NO visible blemishes on the vinyl/disc or jacket/case

·       VG++: Occasionally I will use this one if the item is NM, but I don’t feel comfortable grading it that way as there might be A small blemish on it.

·       VG+ (or EX): Except for a few minor things, this would be Near Mint. This will show slight light signs of wear including light signs of scuff or scratches that DO NOT affect the listening experience. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than ONE inch long)

·       VG:  More marks/scratches only minor, nothing deep, no loud clicks or pops. This type of material will not be sold by this seller. Groove wear and light scratches are evident. Surface noise is heard but it is not overwhelming. Minor writing, tape or stickers are visible
