The Times - Pop Goes Art RARE Hand Painted Vinyl LP (Wham/TV Personalities)

$

62

Artist: The Times Title: Pop Goes Art! Year: 1982 Label: Wham! Number of Tracks: 12 Condition (Vinyl): 6/10 (a few surface marks and scratches - particularly on Side A - but plays great) Condition (Sleeve): 6/10 (corner wear, a bend or two, light seam split on spine and heavier seam split on bottom edge - I try to be conservative with grading) Notes: The classic first pressing of The Times' debut release, this is the hand-painted (spray painted, really) edition of Pop Goes Art! NOT the later Art Pop reissue, the vinyl labels clearly state "Whaam! Records" and catalog number "LP01". This copy even features the pasted on track listing on the back sleeve that only made its way to some of the run.

I'm currently selling lots of vinyl - please check out my other auctions and save with combined shipping!!


Condition/Grading

I grade both the media itself and the package/artwork separately. Each gets a grade from 1-10, with 10 being the best condition and 1 the worst. A new, unplayed record or CD will get a 10. A record or CD that's been played but is still in mint condition will get a 9. Things go down progressively from there. If there is a notable flaw, I will reference it after the number grade. I have given up on letter grading because I found that the definitions were too varied from seller to seller and buyer to buyer and think a number grade will give buyers a little better idea of what to expect.


Postage/Shipping

My shipping rates are clearly posted below:

CD 7" 10" 12"/LP First Item, USA (Media Mail) - - 4.00 4.00 Each Additional Item, USA (Media Mail) - - 2.00 2.75 First Item, USA (First Class) 3.75 4.00 - - Each Additional Item, USA (First Class) 1.25 1.50 - - First Item, USA (Priority Mail) 6.00 6.00 8.00 8.50 Each Additional Item, USA (Priority Mail) 1.75 2.00 3.00 4.00 First Item, Canada (First Class) 4.50 5.00 6.50 8.00 Each Additional Item, Canada (First Class) 1.50 2.00 3.25 3.75 First Item, Rest of World (First Class Air) 6.00 7.00 10.00 12.50 Each Additional Item, Rest of World (First Class Air) 2.50 3.50 5.50 6.50
I do not ship CDs or 7" singles media mail, they always go at least first class. I can upgrade any domestic purchase to Priority Mail for an additional charge. All non-US winners get their items shipped via USPS First Class International Mail. The additional per item charge in this table is generally good for 4 or 5 items. If you buy more than that, the rate will go down further even further; send me a message for specific info. Also, unlike a lot of other sellers, I generally count double releases (those with two 7"s singles in a gatefold sleeve, two CDs in a single jewel case or double vinyl LPs) as just one item, but if it's a particularly lavish release (with posters, booklets and such, even if it's just a single disc) there may be an additional postage charge.
