Shipping within the US is set at $4.00 per package.  Therefore, if you buy one album, 2 albums, 10 albums or 20 albums, the shipping is $4.00.  I can fit up to about 25 single LP albums into my larger shipping box.

This item is a rare and collectible LP from the Rolling Stones.  It is a still-sealed and mint pressing of the legendary Some Girls LP, released in 1978 on Rolling Stones Records.  This is my favorite Stones album of all-time, and to my way of thinking really defines the band from start to finish.  This one has an interesting story to go along with it.  It features a generic wig ad from the 50’s – 60’s, with the song titles added in, and die-cut openings to show the printed inner sleeve.  On the original pressing, the inner sleeve contained the photos of a number of popular entertainment icons – Lucille Ball, Farrah Fawcett, Marilyn Monroe, Racquel Welch, Judy Garland, Liza Minelli and others – as well as hand-tinted doctored photos of the band members.  But, somehow – and it is very hard to believe it was merely an oversight – the band had not obtained licenses from these various people and estates to use the photos.  A legal uproar ensued, and all of the subsequent pressings came out with a “Cover Under Reconstruction” inner sleeve with the photos deleted.  This particular pressing is in beautiful, sealed mint condition, complete with the Miss You promo sticker.  I am by nature a conservative grader, but I can say that you CANNOT FIND a nicer pressing of this album – period.  It is ABSOLUTELY MINT.             

I do not use stock photos.  The photo shows the actual item up for auction.

NOTE:  Sealed albums are collectible because they are sealed.  Since I do not own a store, I cannot return items to the manufacturer.  Once an album is opened, I cannot refund the purchase price in full because opening significantly affects its value.

NOTE TO ALL BUYERS OUTSIDE OF THE US:  Pursuant to Paypal Seller Protection Policy sections 11.3 and 11.4, EVERY item paid for by Paypal MUST be sent via PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL MAIL.  PLEASE NOTE THAT BIDDING ON THIS ITEM IS ACCEPTANCE OF THIS REQUIREMENT.  In addition, the USPS has recently increased their rates yet again.  If you need the cost of postage for any item, please send me a message through My eBay, or go to the Postal Service's website.  Multi-album LP sets weigh more and, consequently cost more.  I will always combine postage, since combining multiple albums saves money. 

If you have any questions about shipping costs, please contact me BEFORE YOU BID. 

I fully recognize that this results in very high shipping costs, but it is of no benefit to me because the money is paid to the USPS for postage.  If you think this policy is unfair, contact Paypal -- I'm only following their Seller Protection Rules.  The fact that other sellers may send items by First Class International -- and put themselves at risk for claims -- is immaterial.  If you have any questions about my shipping policy or costs, please send me an e-mail via My eBay.

I am not a dealer, and all of the items I place up for auction are from my personal collection gathered over the past forty-plus years.  I am selling my collection little by little, to pay for college expenses for my two kids, in my spare time.  Shipping within the US is $4.00 per package, via media mail, regardless of the number of records up to 25.  If you want Priority shipping within the U.S., the cost is a function of weight and postal zone.  Send me a note at the conclusion of the auction, and I will send an invoice indicating the cost of priority (I can also provide this info while the auction is pending, if you e-mail me your zip code and the number of LPs).  Insurance through the USPS is available, and once again send me a note requesting that insurance be included, so that I may include the cost of insurance in the invoice

PLEASE NOTE: Media mail does not have tracking.  The USPS offers delivery confirmation with online tracking.  If you want online tracking with delivery confirmation, please let me know and I will send an invoice including the cost for delivery confirmation, which is currently $0.85.  

International Buyers – Please Note:

·  Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

·  Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

·  These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.

·  I do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.

Payment may be made by paypal.  If I do not receive payment for an item within fifteen (15) days of the end of the auction and I do not hear from you in response to e-mails, I will consider the auction results void and relist the item(s) for auction.  

Should you have any questions at all about postage, the payment method or for details about any item in particular, please do not hesitate to contact me.
