ATTENTION international bidders! Please understand that altering the final price of any online purchase to avoid customs fees is illegal. Since I process every order digitally, the shipping label affixed to the package will show the exact cost of the item. I am an honest seller and cannot alter the amount, so please do not ask me to do so.
RECORD packaging and shipping method: I am a record collector who understands the importance of securely packing records. I always pad the package well to prevent shifting during transit. I also use industry-standard shipping boxes which are specifically designed for shipping records.
Here's a rare record from surf & psych band, FARM - this is the soundtrack to George Greenough's epic surf film The Innermost Limits of Pure Fun.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND, THIS IS A RARE RECORD. TYPICALLY, I WOULDN'T OFFER A RECORD IN THIS CONDITION FOR SALE, BUT THIS IS A RECORD THAT DOESN'T COME UP FOR SALE VERY OFTEN. I HAVE PLAY TESTED THE ENTIRE RECORD AND IT PLAYED THROUGH WITHOUT SKIPPING. I CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL DO THE SAME FOR THE NEXT OWNER. I CAN OFFER THE ENTIRE ALBUM FOR DOWNLOAD TO THE WINNING BIDDER IF NEEDED.
The vinyl: VG condition
Record is as the pictures show. I've cleaned the record on my VPI machine. This record has been played quite a bit and the marks on the wax show it. Some of the marks are lightly detectable to the touch. No gouges or anything severe, but definitely some scratches and some scuffing. I have played the entire album on my Technics direct drive (details on my setup below) and didn't hear a skip though there is overall light to moderate background noise as well as clicks and pops in places. But generally, the record plays surprisingly well for its cosmetic condition. I really enjoyed the record.
Playback is as you'll hear in the clips below. No skips on either side on my tt, continuous playback throughout. The record looks exactly as the pictures on the left show... It sounds exactly as the mp3 file plays below.
The actual, unedited sound file below is provided by my Technics Direct Drive TT with a Ortofon OMP 3E cartridge set at 1.25g. I can't guarantee the record will sound exactly like the file below since all turntables are equipped differently.

The labels are in VG to VG+ condition
The many pictures here show the record accurately. Some writing on the labels.
The cover has issues...
Only part of the cover of the record is here. The previous owner took a bad 80's pop record and used it as the back of this 'frankenstein' gatefold. I can't really assign a grade to the cover... but this is a rare record, which is why I'm offering it up here for sale. I've recorded the album to my hard drive, hopefully a surf collector can use this one as a play record or filler until a better copy comes along.
Here's a clip from the film:

co-cutout
dh-drill hole
dj-disc jockey/promo
ep-extended play 7"
ph-punch hole
ps-picture sleeve
re-reissue
rw-ring wear sm spl-seam split

"Goldmine Standard" grading:
SS = Still Sealed
Never opened. Any flaws (torn shrinkrwrap, creasing) will be indicated in the description.
NM- = Near Mint Minus
Has been opened, but is still flawless
with no damage whatsoever.
VG+ = Very Good Plus
- Vinyl: May have scuff marks and signs of some wear but will still play almost perfectly throughout, with only "barely detectable" crackles or pops. A slight noise at the begining is allowable, but the remainder must be nearly flawless.
- Cover: May only have the slightest signs of normal wear.
The majority of records (worth selling) fall under this grade.
- Vinyl: May crackle, pop or make other annoying noises, but only occasionally,never continuously, and not more loudly than the music being listened to.
- Cover: Normal used cover wear such as ring wear and split seams. If there is abnormal damage such as tears or markings, but the seller still feels that it qualifies as a
"VG", the damage must be described in comments attached to the item.
G+ = Good Plus
- Vinyl: May have continuous crackles, pops, etc... but not so loud as to make the music completely unenjoyable for the casual listener.
- Cover: More than normal wear and tear.
