Up for grabs from my rare soundtracks file is a marvelous copy of "Weird Al" Yankovic's hard-to-find-on-vinyl "UHF: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack and Other Stuff" LP from July 1989.  Released on the Scotti Bros./Rock and Roll Records label, this album documents many of the featurettes that made "UHF" a cult hit in the years after it crashed and burned with mass audiences, including "Money for Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies," "Spatula City," and "Gandhi II."  It also includes studio-only tracks that are ostensibly much funnier, like the "Hot Rocks Polka" (I've yet to hear a finer attempt lampooning the sex-obsessed chauvinism of the Rolling Stones), "Spam" (a great pastiche of both  R.E.M. and the fabled processed lunch meat), and "The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota" (a ballad that sends up the styles of folk artists like Gordon Lightfoot).  Expect to find some gems on this odd little release!
The record is NM, having only been played a handful of times since I acquired it still sealed, as the original owner.  There is no audible or handling wear to note.  The jacket and innersleeve are marred by a deletion cutout through the barcode, but are otherwise nice, rating VG+ for a pristine appearance with the original shrinkwrap and hype sticker still intact.  Be sure to check out my other listings for rare soundtracks, and happy bidding!

"Quality items at reasonable prices from an eccentric merchant!"

As a math teacher and long-time record buyer with a definite passion for both vocations, I am excited to continue to make available LPs I have collected over the last decade and a half but now need to winnow from my shelves.  The items I will be posting include quite a range of genres and interests – soundtracks, specialty records, and albums ranging from the typical mainstream to the unexpectedly weird.  Check back often to see what surprises I’ve got in store! 

Please note my conditions of sale:

-I use Goldmine standards to rate my albums, and I seek to do so conservatively.  Items will often receive both a visual check and a playgrade, so that I can review the material one last time and also listen for any differences between audible quality and my visual perception of an album's surface.  If there are any potential flaws in an item, I will make sure you know about those upfront.  As a rule, I will not attempt to sell records that rate below VG for the total package (unless the item in question is rare or hard to come by).  Because I deal largely in used stock and will be thorough in explaining an item's condition, please note that all sales are "as is" and final – returns are not accepted.

-I ship through USPS services to destinations in the U.S. only. All records will be packed sturdily with quality outer cardboard, with records and innersleeves removed from jackets to avoid seam splits on used items.  Because of the demands of my work schedule, shipments typically go out twice a week, by Wednesday (for albums paid for during the previous weekend) and by Saturday (for all later payments).  Whenever possible, I crank out shipments faster than this, so rest assured you'll get your order quickly.

-I will accept payments for items through PayPal only. If you win one or more of my auctions, please make sure items are paid for within 7 days of the listing's end.  Please note that I open failure-to-pay cases against those who do not pay or make any attempt to communicate with me within my stated timeframe.  Please do not bid or commit to buy if you don't intend to follow through with a payment.

-Shipping will be at cost to the buyer, through Media Mail.  I charge a starting fee of $3.17 for one album, then 50 cents per each additional LP in your order. 

-I will always be willing to combine shipping on multiple wins/purchases.  Just make sure to request an invoice prior to completing your purchase.

-The bottom line: I will make every attempt to insure your satisfaction as my customer.  Let me know of any problems prior to posting negative or neutral feedback, as this will help me to refine my services and better serve my fellow record collectors out there.  Enjoy!
