Made for Reader's Digest.

Drop-down LP guide attached to the pullout tray.

Visual "LP Album Grading Standards" as follows:

• Mint ( M ) ~ Perfect in every way. Never been played.  Only for " STILL SEALED " LPs.
• Near Mint- ( NM- ) ~ The vinyl looks glossy and clearly has only been played a few times, if ever!  May show an extremely slight surface mar.  
• Excellent ( EX ) ~ May show some slight evidence of having been played.
• Very Good Plus ( VG+ ) ~ May show a few faults.  A little rub; slight audible marks; or a little background crackle may occur.  Light surface scuffs, scratches, or spindle marks may be present.  New LP album sheen has quite often been diminished.
• Very Good ( VG ) ~ It has seen a bit of life but is still usable.  Light pops and clicks; a jacket or inner sleeve split; and/or light visible scratches may be present.  Label wear is quite often present.  You can still listen to the LP and enjoy looking at it; but it is visually and audibly " USED ".
• I will rarely offer an LP that would grade below these standards.  When I do, it is strictly because of the collectability of the particular LP.
• Any reference to an evaluation of a jacket or sleeve should be disregarded by all buyers.  Beginning 5/11/2021; eBay made it a requirement to fill the box evaluating the jacket and sleeve prior to allowing a listing to go live.  I stand by my 20 plus year history as an eBay seller of advising all buyers to evaluate all photos, and grade sleeves according to their particular standards and expectations. 

What the buyer can expect:

• I describe all listings to the best of my ability.
• When in doubt, please ask questions.  I answer " ASAP ", and above all, " HONESTLY "!!
• I ship daily.
• 5 Star service is my goal.  I always leave positive feedback, once I receive positive feedback.  If for any reason you feel you cannot leave positive feedback; please contact me for a quick resolution to your concerns.
• I work within eBay recommendations that buyer and seller should communicate with each other prior to involving eBay in any concern that may arise during the purchase process.
• I will accept a return on domestic purchases " ONLY IF NOT AS DESCRIBED!! ".  Buyer " MUST " contact me prior to initiating any return.  Buyer pays all return shipping charges. 
• I suggest that you mouse over any photo that may concern your decision making.  The ability to do this is provided by eBay and will give greater detail to the listing.
• All records are graded under high intensity fluorescent lighting.  
• Please review all photos to establish condition and value of this listing.  This is your best description because " WHAT YOU SEE . . . IS WHAT YOU GET! " 
• Additional photos are available upon request.
• " BUY IT NOW " requires immediate payment.

International buyers please note:

Any tariffs, duties, or taxes imposed by your government in relationship to your purchase, are your responsibility.  These charges are not included in the purchase price or shipping fees associated with this listing.  I will not falsify or alter any information concerning this listing to reduce or eliminate those charges.  International sales are shipped through the eBay International Shipping Program whenever, and to wherever possible.
