Tom Waits LP: Swordfishtrombones - 1985 Specialty Records Plant Repress of the 1983 Album - Island Records - Black Labels
This copy of this album is in beautiful condition. The vinyl is glossy clean near mint. I listened to the entire album just before offering it for sale. It plays with wonderful sound. Record surface noise was negligible with only an occasional light tick. The play-test revealed near mint reproduction. This pressing has the black background Island labels.  Prior to my play test, this record was probably played once before when new. I always recorded LPs to tape on first play and then used the tape for subsequent listening.
The record cover is clean and glossy and very close to near mint. I'll grade the condition as excellent. There is very faint appearance of light ring-wear arcs at top and bottom of front. There are tiny dings at bottom corners. There are very small creases at top corners and a small dent on the top edge. All those words don't add up to much actual distraction from cover beauty though. Check for yourself.
The black printed inner sleeve is near mint aside from splits of about 2 inches each on the side seams. 
This is a very nice copy of this album. This copy of this album has been fully described to you and the photos provided are of the actual item for sale. You know that the packaging is in the condition described because you can see it in the photos (and I like to point out any flaws so you won't be unpleasantly surprised later.).
This will ship by insured USPS Media Mail within the USA. My costs to ship will be higher than what you are charged after packing materials costs are considered.
Please see the photos to check out the beauty and condition for yourself.

For items to be delivered outside of the USA, buyers should be aware that any customs fees / taxes that are required by your government are your responsibility and are not covered by the cost of the item or the shipping charges.

I promise to pack your item securely, no matter what it is. Everything I ship gets packed well, so don't worry about a thing. If appropriate I will add insurance coverage and sometimes I will add signature tracking (USA) when your item is shipped. Signature tracking ensures that the postal service doesn't leave your valuable item unattended on your doorstep out in the rain. Signature tracking requires that your package be handed to you (or your agent) directly - after you sign for it. So if you order something rare and/or worth a bit, be prepared to have to accept delivery in person.

When multiple items are shipped together, I can almost always give you a better deal on the shipping cost compared to the individual shipping costs. I promise to give you the best rate possible based on the items purchased and the shipping method required. Be sure to look at all that I offer to see if you can add to your order without significantly increasing shipping charges.
For "Buy It Now" items (most of what I offer), simply add each that you want to your shopping cart. When ready to commit to buying, request a total from me from your cart and I'll send an invoice as soon as I can. Since I'm not a computer and I do other things like sleep and take the dogs for walks, you might not receive an immediate response, but I will get back to you as soon as possible. If you decide to pay for items you want individually instead of using the shopping cart, I might be able to send some money back for a shipping discount. You won't get quite as good of a deal that way though, because I will already have been charged ebay fees on the shipping costs that you paid. 
Sometimes combining shipping results in increased packaging material expense. I'm not going to skimp on safe packaging.  Some items are not compatible for combined shipping.  Combining shipping might require changing the shipping class used.  A few items that I offer are not eligible for combined shipping. There will be a note to that effect in description somewhere if that's the case. For international sales, items with "ebay International Standard Delivery" shipping can usually be combined up to $100 value.  For international sales, items with ebay's "Global Shipping Program" shipping cannot be discounted easily because ebay does not permit shipping discounts with their "Global Shipping Program."
Of course it is ok to ask about combined shipping costs up front too. I can't always give an exact cost, but I'll do my best to give you a ballpark figure.
I reserve the right to limit the number of items or the total value of items that I'm willing to send in a single package. This is especially true for international orders where postage rates and insurance limitations are limiting factors.
