Great copy of The Velours on Onyx 501. Vinyl, both sides a strong VG++. Labels are VG++ & VG+++. A great copy!!!

Shipping is $4.00 for up to 5 - 45's mainland US. All others obtain cost prior to bidding.

On the 45’s especially, I do not guaranty originality. Ask questions to be sure, I do not except returns based on originality. If you are a 45 collector then you know a lot more than me. I do guaranty grading. I have shipped over 600 45’s and only have had 3 sent back. Check my feedback.

Grading definitions are below

 BID WITH CONFIDENCE – I usually under grade

 International shipping has to be invoiced with the postage added. I have found that this runs from $14 - $18

 Records are mostly put up on Wed. & Thur. Shipping is done on Mon. or Tue. If you pay me by Sun. the items will be sent Mon. or Tue.

I have been collecting records for over 40 years and selling them for about 10. I am a collector of 33’s and 78’s but to my astonishment have accumulated a great number of 45’s. Life’s short and I am getting on so it’s time to let go. I am going to try to put up 15 items a week, concentrating mostly on the 45’s..

 For the most part, the 33’s and 78’s I am listing have been in my collection and listened to and enjoyed by me. All the 45’s with a few exceptions have been in storage for well over 15 years. About 1,000 came from one collection of a 70 yr. old gentleman who bought them new from 1956 – 1963. With very few exceptions they have not been played by me and by their condition not played a lot by him.

 Every record I offer has been visually looked at and if necessary cleaned. I grade conservatively. Some records come to me with split seams that are already taped, some not. If not, when I tape them I use acid free tape.

 All records, including sealed albums, have some audible noises so I do not use a Mint grade.  Any record listed that is expected to sell for $50.00 is play graded. If I list any record with less then a VG+ grade, it is most likely  pretty hard to find but still very listenable, at least until a better copy comes along, if you can find one at a reasonable price!

 My opening bid price is substantially lower than the most recent auction sold results and I feel a fair place to start.

 Good Luck bidding, I am certain that you will be satisfied!
