If you have listened to these songs for years and years, but never at 45rpm – you will be AMAZED. The sound is so clear, crisp, full, and complex and articulate. You will NEVER hear these songs sound like they do on these 7”es! Seriously. I know that’s a big claim but I stand by it. I had all the LPs and listened to them for decades. Then I picked up a 7” and my head practically blew up! Nothing but a 45rpm 12” sounds as good as a 45rpm 7”.
Vinyl guarantee: If this record doesn’t play, or has an excessive amount of scratches or noise – send me a video of the record playing that reveals the noise. Then you’ll get a full refund and shipping paid to return. I will personally pay for you to ship the record back if it doesn’t meet the description.
I’m not a professional grader so I’ve made my own vinyl system from 1 – 5.
1 = skippy and scratchy, damaging to a stylus; visible scratches.
2 = Been played. Contains playing wear (tinny vocals & cymbals) with potential scratches and maybe even a skip.
3 = Plays and sounds good with low or no noise, no skips and no audible scratches. May have visible light scratches and a few spindle marks.
4 = Nearly perfect, as in a new record that has been played a few times. Usually no spindle marks. This grade is almost noise-free.
5 = Brand new, unplayed
Sleeve grading is like comics:
P = Totally messed up, ripped, water damaged, barely holding together.
F = A typical $.25 bin sleeve. Messed up but holding together, contains scratches, folds, indents, etc.
G = Totally fine but not new. Still shiny, has scratches or creases. This grade looks fine from a distance but up close you can see bits of damage.
VG = Looks nice with minimal damage.
NM = Almost new.
M = Totally untouched, brand new.

In a perfect world, the buyer pays exact shipping. Sometimes the estimate is higher than the actual cost. Is this case the buyer will receive a shipping refund. For combined shipping I advise you to wait for my invoice to pay so you don't overpay. I will get all invoices for combined shipping out the day after the auction ends. If you prefer a different shipping service, just let me know and I can use Pirateship. Please wait for an invoice before paying!
I implore you to carefully inspect the photos. There may be visible damage that I don?t mention in the text. These photos are the exact items for auction so it behooves you to carefully inspect them before bidding. Additional photos are available upon request.
I love the auction process so much that I refuse all offers. If I accidentally left offers open, that is a mistake. I will refuse all offers, just bid!
I am mostly a buyer but have become a seller to purge some of my comic and graphic novels collection. Stay tuned because there will be a lot more weird stuff.
I have been mail ordering for over three decades and take great pride in my packing skills. As of this writing (12/2/23) I have yet to have any shipping damage reported. I go totally overboard because I've had my heart broken by shipping damage many times in the past. Set aside some time and patience so you can carefully open your box. In the extraordinarily rare instance damage is caused, a full refund will be issued and shipping costs for the return will be paid for. Damage must be photographed within 5 days of delivery. (That way I can file my claim with the shipping insurance.) Pictures must show the damaged box and the damaged product. I'm an honest person and I hope you are too. My full name is also my user name, for example.
Domestic US only, international shipping is too risky (and takes forever) for everyone right now. Apologies for that. I generally ship a few days after payment is received (weekdays only). If you have special instructions for me I am happy to work with you. But please understand that I am not a professional seller and I am also partially disabled. I get confused sometimes but I will do the best I can to make sure you are happy.
