ALBUM:         JIMMY "PREACHER" ELLIE / I'M GONNA DO IT BY MYSELF / GO HEAD ON
 

RECORD(S) CONDITION:    NM

Welcome to 2010 Classical! – My name is Jake and I want to thank you for stopping by and checking out my 45’s category.  I have been selling mostly 33 1/3 up until now, but things will be changing a little bit over the next few months (starting June 2010).  I don’t want to sound cocky……but be glad you found my auctions!......and make sure you add me to your favorites over this time.  I just fell into an UNBELIEVEABLE collection of 45 rpm related records that will be listed in a relatively short time, I’m guessing about a dozen per week.  I can tell you that what little expertise I have regarding records is almost 100% in the classical genre, knowing almost nothing about 45’s, so keep that in mind as I will be listing everything for $9.99 or less to start.  I’m hope you find some deals!

Okay – now for the collection; about 80% or more are promo/DJ copies…….and at least 90% is VIRTUALLY MINT CONDITION……as the rest hovers around VG+.  So there you go, you can look at my feedback and see that overall I am selling no nonsense LP’s.  Although I have no experience grading 45’s, I do have experience grading 33 1/3’s.  Defects will be pointed out, play tested, and given my best description possible.

Also, please be aware that most of these 45’s do have similar writing, and most come with the plain white or brown factory paper sleeve.  If a record has any type of picture sleeve, you will see it in the photos. 

Shipping costs will be $4 for North America & $7 everywhere else.  I will combine, and I will charge postage + materials. (usually $1) Ask questions or for an invoice if needed. GOOD LUCK!

In the rare but possible scenario that you feel I misgraded an album, I will refund your entire purchase price ONCE THE ITEM HAS BEEN RETURNED TO ME.  Feel free to ask me to go into detail with certain albums that you think might need a more thorough description.  I use Goldmine as shown below:

Record LP  GRADING:
MINT (M) : Absolutely perfect in every way. Played for testing or still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all.


NEAR MINT (NM): A nearly perfect record. Many sellers won't give a grade higher than this, implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no signs of wear. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, water stains or other similar defects. The same should be true of any inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like (or else these should be graded separately). Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a record shop and opened it.


VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) : 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 signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are ""OK"", but should be clearly pointed out. 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. An LP cover may have slight signs
of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, staple holes or corner cut. In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, the VG+ graded item would be Near Mint. Very Good Plus records are highly acceptable to all but a few collectors.


VERY GOOD (VG) : Many of the slight defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon 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) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue). The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, a VG item DOES NOT have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.


GOOD (G), GOOD PLUS (G+): 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. A cover 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.

FAIR/POOR: Do we really need to discuss this? Only the rarest of the rare items are even slightly acceptable in this shape, and even those sell for 1/10th the price of the same thing in VG or VG+

All LP'S are shipped OUTSIDE THE JACKET (EXCEPT BOX SETS) in sturdy LP mailers, UNLESS YOU REQUEST DIFFERENT.
