Greetings everybody! Thank you very much for stopping by another of my ebay record auctions! I appreciate that you took the time out of your busy schedule to click on my listing and have a look at what I have to offer, and hopefully you will like what you see-preferably enough to make what I have yours! Recently, I was laid off from the record business I’ve spent the past 2 decades working for, but things are looking up, as I have been offered a job with my previous boss-who just happened to be the prior owner of the same record store at his new business, which would just happen to be-records! Pretty neat, huh? But I’m still doing ebay for myself and don’t see that stopping anytime soon. I’ve also been allowed to do listing on ebay for the business that laid me off, kind of a free-lance position, so that’s pretty doggone nice of them, and I appreciate the opportunities-all the way around! Life ain’t so bad! But-this week (and maybe the next few as well)-things are going to be hectic for me, and though I want/need to get listings done, I won’t have the time to be as chatty as I usually am, so my listings won’t be quite as long. The main description parts anyway. But I’ll get the main details in, so don’t worry, the needed information will still be here. Plus, the mailing might be a little slower than usual, but I’ll do my best to expedite matters. However, I need to get this going, so…I appreciate your stopping by, let’s see what I have up this time!

This time up, I have a 7" 45rpm release on the 95 Interstate Records label, label # 95 INT 20019, by L. L. Milton. This is the single of "That's All I Need" b/w "Watch Your Self". “That’s All I Need” is a bluesy vocal number, a bit slower than mid-tempo, and for some reason, though there’s not a lot of different instruments, the organ was hitting notes that made my ears squirm a bit. Vocals are nice, music good, just that organ… “Watch Your Self” is a mid-tempo instrumental that features guitar, organ, harmonica, and some sax late into the tune, nice sound for driving down the road on a lazy day. The playing surface needs cleaning, with a touch of storage/play wear and a few harmless, but visible needle marks. Has some crackling, not much, and with a good cleaning, the crackling can probably be removed. Still good enough for E. That’s my grading though, and my grading is considered non-standard. If you are considering placing a bid, please read the paragraph that follows this one, as it will show you the gradings and their respective descriptions. It won’t take long to read, please do. The label has writing in black marker on “That’s All I Need”, and other various small abrasions/storage wear. All the text is still clear enough to read with ease. If you need more pictures or description, I can and will be happy to provide. If you have any comments or questions, please send them to me, and I will reply as soon as possible.  

My Grading is as follows: M (Mint)-ONLY for Still Factory Sealed Records ONLY! No 45 nor 78 will ever get this grading. E+, minimal wear, perhaps only needs cleaning. E, a few light marks, maybe some minor background crackle and/or hiss. E-, light marks, crackling (nothing major), scuffs, etc.. Not great, but still quite playable. V+, More marks, scuffs, needle marks, scratches-but nothing that would make the needle skip. Will have background noise that even with a cleaning will still be around. V. Worn. Scuffs, scratches, can be noisy, but still (probably) won’t cause the needle to skip nor get stuck. V-, Noisy? You bet! Worn? Oh yeah. Playable? Sure, but don’t expect it to sound all peachy keen. P. Bleah! Playable perhaps, but do so at your own risk. Don’t trash a new needle on it. Only used on records considered rare enough for “fill in” purposes to a collector-or to those who do digital restoration.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR NON-U.S. BIDDERS!!!!
All items I sell will be sent with postage printed up from eBay. This way, the prices are automatically listed for customs purposes and cannot be altered. Yes, this does mean that the customs people will know the value, but since I get a bit of a price break on postage, I can keep the prices low for you-the buyer.  I will not "mark item as a gift", just so you can evade import rules.  The people at my post office know me, and they will check overseas packages for inspection.  I hope you will understand my position about this, my apologies if you are not able to comply.

Also, international bidders, the price listed for postage on my listings are for domestic mailing.  I wish I could send overseas for that price, but reality speaks different.  I place a fair price on all international postage.  Watch for the invoice if you win.

ALSO-I need to let international bidders know of a certain problem that doesn't always happen, but will arise from time to time.  All International mail sent from this region has to go through the U.S. Postal Service sorting center in Sandston Virginia, by our local airport.  This sorting center has been named the least efficient sorting center in the entire U.S. Postal Service.  They prove this from time to time by mis-routing packages.  If this happens-and I will monitor the delivery-usually it will add at least an extra week for it to arrive.  If there are any problems, please contact me first, and I will do what I must to make sure you are satisfied with the order.
