NOTES (see below for abbreviations): Excellent collectible which includes the "Brumus" poster & lyrics (on back)--in NM condition! Vinyl is in great shape--shiny and clean--only the slightest handling at most (looks barely touched). Label looks superb.

INTRODUCTION:
**NOTE: I have thousands of vinyl LPs and 45s that I will post periodically, so please set me as a favorite seller and check back each week!! **
Items are graded visually unless otherwise noted. Grading is based on Goldmine's and is listed below (with abbreviations used). Please take a moment and refer to my grading system as it may differ slightly from other sellers. I consider myself fair on grading - if you feel that I missed something, please contact me and we'll work it out (see my refund policy). I've been selling online for over ten years on various sites-you can purchase with confidence (check my feedback). LPs and 45s are shipped between stiff boards (no worries-see details in shipping section).
As mentioned, check back often, as I will have plenty of LPs, 45s, 78s, reel-to-reels, and many other music related items (tees, too)! And feel free to check my other listings as I have many other items for sale. I combine shipping whenever possible. Thanks! Happy hunting.

CONDITION GRADING:
MINT - I don't use this grade as there is always something that isn't perfect.

STILL SEALED (SS) - This is the closest I would consider to being Mint. However, sometimes these have wear (like some creasing to jacket, or a cut-out) that will lower it in grade, therefore, I'll add a grade for the overall visual condition (and for those whom are wondering, I'll state if I believe this is resealed). NOTE: I'll list a record as "SS" if a small portion of the plastic is broken, but it is obvious the vinyl hasn't been removed (I'll mention this if it is the case).

NEAR MINT (NM and NM-) - To earn this grade, the vinyl must look like it was just purchased - no scratches or any easily noticeable wear (including around center hole) on either side (light indication of sleeve scuff is fine). Only the slightest surface wear to jacket, sleeve (45), or any insert contained within is allowed (ring wear is not acceptable). Easily seen creases, folds or seam splits are not allowed. A record that has never been played, or played very sparingly and handled gently. Highly desired for collectors.

EXCELLENT (EX or VG++) - A record that has been played, but shows care in its use and storage. Vinyl surface may show a little surface wear, but nothing to effect play and is shiny in luster. Center hole may have mild signs of being placed on turnatable. Very small creasing to jacket is fine. A cut-out, drill-hole, saw-hole, or any indication of being discounted at the store, but otherwise is NM, will list here. If it looks NM, but has a lightly written name on label it would list here. Collectible condition.

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) - Still shows care in its use and storage, but has been played a few times. Vinyl surface will have some surface wear (lgiht surface markings, with a few pops possible in soft music sections) and will have predominate luster (shiny). Center hole can have some signs of spindle tracking. Slight warping to disk is acceptable (play isn't effected). A slight seam split, or some creasing to jacket or sleeve is fine. Slight ring wear to jacket is acceptable. Name written (or small label) on label or jacket, while the rest is EX, will list here. Still, considered of collectible value.

VERY GOOD (VG) - Groove wear that can be felt with your finger. Surface noise that can be heard in soft passages, or the fade-in, fade-out sections, but not noticeable during louder music is allowed. Usually, some ring wear, or creasing, with minor seam splitting to jacket occurs. Writing (or label) on label or jacket, while the rest is VG+ will list here. Still, a nice listening experience, and would be of collectible quality if record isn't common.

GOOD PLUS (G+), GOOD (G) - Record will have surface noise and will play without skipping. Vinyl will have surface scratches. May have a small chip that doesn't effect play (45s or 78s). Jacket or sleeve will have two or more of the following: seam splits, ring or rubbing wear, tape, writing, a small tear, creasing. Basically, can be listened to, but will need adjustments (equalizing) to allow a good listening experience (especially in quieter sections). Only a very hard-to-find record would be considered collectible in this range.

FAIR (F), POOR (P) - In either of these conditions, there will be issues. Usually, there is loud noise and/or a skip or two. May have a bad warp that effects play. May be cracked or badly chipped (45s and 78s mostly). Jacket will have significant wear--ring wear, seam splitting, writing or other markings, stained or warped, and so forth. Nearly impossible to achieve a pleasant listening experience. Basically, only a rare copy would be worth purchasing (I'll rarely offer up a record in this condition unless it is rare, or included in a lot [or as a freebie], or a bad sleeve/jacket matched to a decent vinyl, etc).

OTHER TERMS USED (listed in Notes section):
DJ COPY (DJ) - former DJ copy, which may well mean it is a promo, or otherwise unique recording that is rarer than the usual mass market release. Often, DJ 45s from the sixties (and sometimes late fifties or early seventies) have a mono side and a stereo side of the same song.
PROMOTIONAL [PROMO] COPY (PC) - a promotion (for advertising purposes) copy of a record. Sometimes, these are exactly the same as the mass market release--and sometimes they are recordings that aren't released to the public. I'll mention what I know when I have one of these.
AUTOGRAPHED (AUTO) - is signed by artist(s).  

ABBREVIATIONS (listed in Notes section):
CUT-OUT (CO); CRACK IN VINYL (CR); CHIP ON VINYL (CH); WARPED BADLY (WP); WRITING (WR); STICKER OR NAME LABEL (LB); TAPE (TP); TEAR IN JACKET (TR); SHRINK WRAP ON LP (though opened) (SW); SKIPS (SK); WATER DAMAGE (WD); STAINS ON JACKET (ST)

SHIPPING & COMBINED SHIPPING:
Whether this listing is a 7" or 12" vinyl, your item will be wrapped in paper (or plastic or bubblewrap) and placed between two pieces of stiff cardboard. If your item is a cassette, 8-track, reel-to-reel, etc, it'll be carefully wrapped, or placed in a box. For a 78 RPM classic, it will be wrapped then placed (floated) in a box. All effort will be taken to ensure that your product will arrive in the condition that you see here. Please refer to shipping calculator for costs.

Combined Shipping: I'll combine shipping whenever possible, as long as auctions are within the same week (and you'll save a lot of shipping $$!!) -- please let me know if you are trying to win more than one item so I can wait on the invoice. If you wish to have multiple items shipped via Priority Mail, I will quote a price at end of auction, if not listed otherwise.

International bidders: depending on shipping method selected and the amount of items involved, the price per additional item will be greatly less than individually, so it's a good deal to purchase several at once. Use calculator for single auctions.

INSURANCE:
If you wish to have your item(s) insurance, let me know and it can be added to the shipping fee.

TERMS OF SALE:
Payment must be received by no later than 7 days after auction's end to avoid automatic Non-Paying bidder filing with eBay. I reserve the right to cancel bids of those with negative or hidden feedbacks-or those that hand out more negatives to sellers than usual. Your bid is a legally binding contract, but if you have made a bid and wish to retract it, or win the auction, but want a refund prior to shipping, I always try to accommodate.

RETURN POLICY:
If not satisfied with item due to defect or other severe issue, please contact me. Every effort will be made to accommodate if mistake is on my part. I don't accept returns based on buyer's remorse, damage occurring during shipping, or other reason not related to my representation of item. And I request that the returned item arrives in the same condition that it was sent, so please package it well (use the same packaging, if possible). Sealed items must still be sealed in order to be returned. Shipping cost is not reimbursed. Refund will be given once item arrives in my possession (and in same condition as originally sent). NOTE: You have 14 days to return item and you will receive money back (if Return Policy section below states otherwise, ignore it, as this is my refund policy).

FEEDBACK:
I'll gladly give feedback once I receive feedback from you. PLEASE NOTE: upon leaving Star Ratings (1-5 stars), keep in mind that anything below a 5 is considered a poor rating (by Ebay standards) that can effect the seller in negative ways (like lowering visibility in search results, loss of discounts, and eliminating the chance of obtaining a Top-Seller status), even if the overall rating is 100%. Thanks!
