I've set a high BIN price due to the rarity of this item and because I have no idea what it is worth. I am considering all offers to get an idea of value. I might, in a week or two, put the record up for auction instead, but in the meantime, if the right offer comes along, it's yours.

Shipping is $4 in the U.S. and will include tracking and insurance. International shipping will be via Priority Mail International with insurance.

I grade visually using the following guidelines:

Vinyl:
S = sealed

M = opened but perfect in all details
NM =  one or perhaps two minor problems at the most that should not affect sound (i.e. paper scuff, spindle mark at center hole, fingernail scratch on label, non- removable fingerprint or previous sticker glue)
NM– =  two or three of the above problems, maybe a slight, unraised hairline scratch (can’t be felt with a fingernail). In other words, a couple of visible defects that should not affect sound
VG+ = more scuffs and a few slightly visible scratches that should affect the sound minimally at most, but no deep scratches
VG = noticeable scratches and scuffs that will most likely be heard when played
VG– = more serious surface scratches or multiple defacing problems or slight groove depth scratch 
G = it just gets worse from here and it would be rare for me to list a record in this condition

Covers:

S = sealed

M = absolutely perfect in every way

NM = should have no creases, folds, seam splits, or cut-out holes, just the slightest signs of age

NM– = like above, but with slightly more sign of age

VG+ = no more than three flaws that have to be explained, such as small writing, more noticeable ring wear, and slight wear to the seams

VG = has writing, stickers, or seam splitting, and looks obviously worn, but the artwork still looks decent

G = significantly more than normal wear and tear, but it still holds the record and isn’t ready for the garbage can

Less than G would be rare for me to list unless the vinyl was in significantly better shape 

I do my best to be honest and conservative with my visual grading. If, after receiving the record, you feel that it was not described accurately, I do accept returns within seven days of when they were received by the buyer. Return shipping is paid by the buyer. Once I receive the record, I will refund the original purchase price, including the original shipping cost.
