This record looks a little better in the pictures than it does in person, due to the reflective surface of the record. It has some fingerprints, dust, smudges, and scuffs. There are probably some small scratches that I can't see in ordinary indoor light. (I wear trifocals, and I'm often out of focus.) If you have concerns, I can try looking at it in sunlight or with a flashlight.
I have not made any attempt to clean this record. It should be professionally cleaned before it is played.
I am not a collector, dealer, or expert, so I may not always be aware of relevant details and terminology; please feel free to ask questions before you bid.
I ship the records in sturdy boxes via Media Mail. Media Mail is the cheapest way to ship, but also the slowest. If you purchase more than one of my media mail items in the same week, I will try to bundle them together (if possible) to save shipping costs. I use special mailing boxes for records, so there is a limit on how many can be bundled together.
*** I SELL ALL RECORDS AS-IS *** Please feel free to ask questions before you bid.
NOTE: Any items paid for before Feb 18 cannot be shipped until Feb 20. Sorry for any inconvenience. Sometimes life happens!
