Grading: 


Disc labels: (Side 1: Mint minus (M-)); Side 2: Mint minus (M-): Both labels are incredibly clean with NO marks. There are slight traces of spindle marks.


Disc (vinyl): (Side 1: Mint minus (M-)); Side 2: Mint minus (M-): The heavyweight disc weighs 147 grams, is unwarped, ultra glossy and in superb condition. It is in simply amazing condition and looks barely played. Under harsh light, there is a hint of a barely visible line. The stereo audio is stunning on both sides. It plays flawless with the barest trace of a light pop. Even the softer tracks, such as "Michelle" play quiet and free of noise. Probably the finest original stereo pressing we have ever heard.

Jacket: (Near Mint (NM)): The front laminated Garrod & Lofthouse, rear flipback, "Patents pending" sleeve is beautiful with almost no signs of wear at all. The front is super vibrant and clean. The rear of the sleeve and flipbacks are incredibly clean and white and show barely any wear at all. The bottom and top edges are clean and straight (NO splitting). Three of the four corners of the sleeve are squared and sharp and one has a tiny bump. The spine printing is clear and legible and the spine is very clean overall. One of the nicest original jackets we have seen.


Inner sleeve: (Excellent plus (EX+)): The Emitex inner sleeve is clean and in excellent plus condition.

TERMS:


- Payment: Winning bidder should contact us within 3 days of the auction’s ending. Auction must be paid 7 days after the auction closes unless other arrangements are made. If not, a Non-Paying Bidder Alert will be submitted to eBay and the auction will be considered null and void. 


Grading: We are conservative graders and try to be as concise and as accurate as possible without a lot of the standard hype.  We will never explain the condition of an item by saying it "looks good for something this old" as we consider that patronizing and an insult to potential buyers. Please ask us questions about any details about the item before bidding.


Shipping:

Packaging: All items are professionally packaged with high quality unused materials for shipment. No items will ever be loose in their shipping cartons. Records that are not sealed in their original shrink-wrap will never be shipped in their original jackets. All vinyl will be in poly-lined sleeves and outside of their original jackets so that no seam splitting can result from the shipping process.


Shipping charges for vinyl discs, posters and memorabilia include the cost of postage and boxes with extra padding. Good packaging is not cost effective but we insist upon safe and secure packaging. We do not want you to receive damaged items!


- STILL SEALED items cannot be returned unless they are STILL SEALED. No exceptions.
