Stinson SLP 73, "Hally Wood Sings Texas Folk Songs".  This is a 10" pressing of her 1950s LP.  Vinyl plays at VG+ or VG++ with a few infrequent light pops; the LP is in excellent condition for an original Stinson LP.  The jacket has several inches of repairable seam cracking at opening on top and bottom; the rest of the seams are mostly unworn, but the jacket as a whole is quite age-toned on the front and back (I've never seen a copy of this LP that wasn't this way).  Songs are "Sugar Babe", "O Freedom", "Worried Blues", "When I Was Single", "B'lieve I'll Call the Captain", "Farther Along", "St. James Hospital", "Courting Case", "Come and Go with Me", "Love Henry", "Amazing Grace", "Sants Claus Blues", "Red Apple Juice", and "Glory Hallelujah".  (Shipping is $4.00 media mail, $7.00 priority mail in the continental U.S.; $15.00 airmail for Europe, Australia, Japan, and Korea; elsewhere inquire.  Insured priority shipping required for Italy and Brazil.  Additional LPs in one package are $1.00 per extra LP in U.S. and Canada, $2.00 per extra LP overseas.  All LPs are play-graded unless sealed.  I dislike low-quality packaging as much as any other eBayer.  Individual records will be shipped in special, handcrafted mailers unlike the usual type in three ways: (1) They are significantly larger all around and padded around the edges to prevent corner bumps to the jacket; (2) they are padded on both sides of the record with styro sheets or thick cardboard sheets to prevent damage to the record surface; (3)  they are constructed of heavier-duty cardboard than normal mailers to provide further protection.  All used LPs are shipped with record securely inside an inner sleeve but outside the jacket to prevent seam splitting in transit; our innovative padded packaging will prevent seam splitting for new, sealed LPs.  The end product is designed to withstand a drop from a second-story window with no damage (though I will not test it with your package).  No record should arrive in a condition worse than described!  Multiple LPs are shipped in BagsUnlimited pizza-style boxes that are larger around than LPs and will also be well padded.  All opened LPs are play-graded on a VPI turntable with Audioquest tonearm.
