   >>> Any of the LP's I list here on EBAY are from my own private collection and have been well cared for. The majority of them have only been played a few times. Since LP's could not be played in automobiles, as soon as I acquired a new LP I would immediately record it on cassette tape. The LP was then safely stored to preserve it's condition & quality. There are a small number of my LP's that suffered some minor damages to the jackets while moving (several times), but any damage will be shown & described in the listing.  *I also clean the LP's in a highly modified Spin Clean Wet Wash System, then place them in a New Clear Anti-Static Sleeve. Any original inner sleeves (and other inserts) are always included with the LP's.  I try to do my best to grade the LP & outer Jacket / Cover according to Goldmine Standards but there's always a possibility I may miss something.  If you notice something I clearly missed, please contact me first before opening a case with EBAY, Thanks !
   For shipping, all LP's are bubble wrapped and packed in an approved corrugated LP shipping carton.     *** ALL LP PRICES INCLUDE FREE MEDIA MAIL SHIPPING TO ANYWHERE IN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES ! ***
  ***If you would prefer a faster delivery method you can upgrade to my 2nd shipping option, First Class Delivery, for an additional $3.30. 
  Here is an Extremely Classic Album Release with a "NEAR MINT VINYL LP" of   K I S S -  "L O V E  G U N",  from 1977, on the Rock Steady / Casablanca Records Label, Catalog #NBLP 7057-7.98.  This IS NOT a Re-Issue or a Club Issue.  This is an Original 1977 1st US Pressing, Mastered by STERLING SOUND and pressed by the CBS Records Plant in Pitman, NJ. This LP has 10 Tracks including their Hits "Christine Sixteen", "Shock Me" & "Love Gun".
  
  GRADING of Individual Items:  The Outer Cover / Jacket is not in shrink & has some surface damage due to professional movers failing to pack properly. There is some minor ring wear.  Around the top, bottom & spine edges there are small creases and the edges & spine have a lot of scuffing spots from sliding in it's moving box. The spine is still very readable through the scuffs (see photos 3-4-5). The corners have some wear with small dings & scuffs, however, the jacket is still completely intact with no holes, rips, saw slits or cut corners. (please don't be discouraged by this detailed description). The cover still has a fair amount of gloss and looks better than it sounds but still only meets the following:   Grade = Good to Good+ !   The Printed Inner Sleeve, with KISS spelled in blood, is mostly flat with some small ripples / wrinkles but there are no splits on the sides or bottom.  Grade = VG+ to EX- !   The Vinyl LP in this package, played only once or twice, looks very, very close to Brand New, full shine & luster except for a very small, very minor, barely visible scuff that has no affect on the audio at all.  During the audio test, through the entire LP, you may hear just a hand full of very light clicks and only in the dead time between tracks. The labels are excellent and there is no hole wear.  LP Grade = DEFINITELY NEAR MINT !
