PROVENANCE : This item came from a large collection that I purchased. It was owned by a serious collector with homes in NY and London and was part of a huge collection containing a lot of import titles. The condition on most of the collection was amazing – there were so many records that over half of them were never opened (still factory sealed). It also became apparent that this collector would often buy two copies of a record (from the same store), open and listen to one copy and keep the other copy sealed. Take a look at the rest of my current listings and take advantage of this opportunity to get some other fine recordings.

GRADING :

NM (+/-), E (+/-), VG (+/-)

Lps are visually graded and then sound-tested in various spots. I try to check visible marks to see if they make noise, and significant scuffs or scratches are usually mentioned in the description. Lps have NOT been listened to in their entirety, so it is possible for there to be noise or wear not mentioned in the description. I try to grade conservatively to please all buyers. I know that there are different grading systems out there, but keep in mind that many record dealers do visual grading only. I occasionally use the grading NM+, which usually means the lp looks new and plays with no noise in the areas I sound tested. An lp graded NM- (near mint minus) might have some sleeve residue, minor surface wear or minor scuffs (usually but not always noted). The grading NM/NM- means the lp looks NM but plays NM- with occasional light surface noise. An lp graded E may show light wear or light surface marks and it will usually have some surface noise. An lp graded VG will generally have wear and marks and play with considerable surface noise. In general I recommend cleaning all lps before playback, as they may not have been machine cleaned. Items are sold AS-IS. Returns/Refunds are considered on a case-by-case basis. NO RETURNS/REFUNDS on items shipped internationally and on clearance/budget items with starting prices of 99 cents or $3. I have established a reputation, especially in the quality-conscious classical record community, as a top seller with fair prices, excellent packaging, super-fast shipping, and often better-than-stated condition. Please view my thousands of feedbacks and feel confident that I am not trying to cheat anyone by using as-is policy. I discard just as many records as I sell because they do not meet my standards.

AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS:

If you have won a SINGLE LP, the shipping rates are listed above and you can make payment immediately via paypal.

If you are in CANADA, please wait for my invoice as your shipping rates will be lower than the overseas international shipping rates that will appear if you pay instantly.

If you are the winner of MULTIPLE LPS or BOXSETS, please wait for my invoice.

I will usually have hundreds or even thousands of items to deal with so I will package the items, calculate shipping, and invoice you as quickly as I can. If you have not heard from me within 48 hours, please check your spam/junk mail folder in case my invoice was sent there – if you still do not find my invoice then please contact me.

If your ADDRESS, ZIPCODE, or COUNTRY is different than shown by ebay or if you have specific special packing requests beyond a cardboard lp mailer box with insert, then please email when the auction ends so I can send you a correct invoice. If you do not have any address changes or special packing requests then I would appreciate it if you would not send ebay messages requesting totals – they only add to the hundreds or thousands of emails I have to read and actually slow down the invoicing process.

Thanks for finding and checking out my auctions and items – I am sure you will enjoy them!
