Description: not much to say about this one. we all know it. we all love it. and if you have not experienced the 200g Classic Records version then Buy It!

My grading is typically more conservative than many other ebay sellers..I often buy LPs listed as VG+ that are more like VG or VG-.
Nevertheless, grading is a very subjective art so if you require detailed descriptions of a particular LP, be sure you ask me plenty of time before the auction closes
and i will be happy to clarify any questions.

I try to indicate any imperfections in my item descriptions so when you receive the LP there are no upsetting surprises.


I use 'Goldmine' Grading Standards:

from Tim Neely's Goldmine Record Album Price Guide:

Mint (M): Absolutely perfect in every way - certainly never played, possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all.

Near Mint (NM or M-): A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this, implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. An LP jacket should have no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticable similar defect. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like. Basically, an LP in Near Mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a retail store and removed the shrink wrap. Near Mint is the highest price listed in all Goldmine price guides. Anything that exceeds this grade, in the opinion of both buyer and seller, is worth significantly more than the highest Goldmine book value.

Very Good Plus (VG+): Generally worth 50 percent of the Near Mint value. A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that don't affect the sound are OK. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. LP inner sleeves will have some slight ring wear, lightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP jacket may also have slight signs of wear and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable. A synonym used by some collectors and dealers for "Very Good Plus" is "Excellent."

Very Good (VG): Generally worth 25 percent of the Near Mint value. Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a Very Good disc. Surface noise will be evident on playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.

Good (G), Good Plus (G+): Generally worth 10-15 percent of the Near Mint value. Good does not mean bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A jacket or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.

Shipping:

All Domestic shipping will ship via USPS Priority Mail and include delivery confirmation at no extra cost so rest assured.
Please use the shipping calculator below. All packages valued over $100 must be insured.
Hawaii, Alaska, and military po's, may cost extra so please let me know before checking out.

I ship worldwide, however, for all international shipping, i only use USPS Priority mail with insurance. Most worldwide shipping is automatically insured up to $66.80 and any package valued over that will have a small but required additional charge. Please use shipping calculator below.
this charge will appear in your invoice. you must contact me at least 24 hours before auction end to request total shipping fee for multiple items.

I combine Shipping costs of multiple items at end of auction based on total weight.
International buyers with special needs or multiple items, please let me know when you have finished shopping and request an invoice from me before checking out via paypal.

I take great care in packing LPs and therefore if you do not request insurance I am not responsible for lost or damaged items.
If the Record is not sealed, I always separate vinyl and insert from the cover to avoid seam split in shipping so rest easy.

*Shipping and Handling Note: The reason I only ship USPS Priority is because a) domestic packages are traceable b) international packages are insured c) my packing method of slipping standard LP Mailers inside the Standard Priority box insures that there will be no corner damage to LPs in transit which often happens with only using standard LP mailers. I apologize that I do not offer the cheaper media mail or international first class but with my shipping and handling method you can rest assured that
your LP will arrive safely.
