Les Baxter  BARBARIANS: GOLIATH AND THE BARBARIANS  Vinyl LP RARE!  American International Records  AIR LP 1001 US 1966  EX/VG+ (First Edition)  
Immaculate care has been taken of both vinyl and jacket on this first pressing mono edition. Vinyl looks never played having maintained its bright mirror gloss and is free of any scratches or scuffs but labels prevent an otherwise NM grade due to spindle marks. Album plays exceptionally quiet for its age with virtually no surface noise. Jacket is solid without splits and maintains its gloss having no ring wear and minimal edgewear. 
MATRIX Matrix / Runout (Side A Runout): JB-2774-D1 Matrix / Runout (Side B Runout): JB-2775-D1
See pictures of back cover and labels for tracklist.
Unless otherwise noted in listing, all albums, 45rpms and CDs have been graded visually, but you may message me upon purchase and request a test play. If during playback any issues arise that do not match listing grade, you will be given the option to cancel or purchase at a reduced price. If you do not request test play prior to shipping and an issue is discovered after delivery, please contact me promptly for a solid resolution you will be happy with. Vinyl will be cleaned regardless of a play test request before shipping.
PRICING AND GRADING MEDIA  Pricing of LPs, 45rpm 7" singles, and CDs are based on matrix numbers that are used to determine pressing using Discogs's database. The suggested price and sales history on this database along with eBay's recommendations are used to set competitive prices.  Vinyl, disc, jacket covers, CD inlays, and jewel cases are conservatively graded using Goldmine Grading Standards. Please view guideline table below.

SHIPPING & HANDELING One day shipping is my chosen shipping time, but with most orders placed before 12 PM PST on weekdays, items will most likely ship out the same day, but this is not guaranteed; otherwise, orders are packed with loving care and shipped out the following day. I combine shipping for multiple purchases and charge only what USPS charges. If your browser does not show a Request Invoice option on the check out page, please message me through contact seller option for instructions on how to get combined shipping with multiple items. If you do neither, I will automatically refund shipping difference to your account upon shipping. 
NO RETURN POLICY I stand behind all that I sell and this policy is here to ward off scammers and unethical buyers only. There's not a vinyl dealer online or otherwise that doesn't occasionally have a turd slip through their ranks. If you get one from me, promptly message me and I will flush it for you in a manner you will find highly satisfying.
FEEDBACK I will appreciate your positive feedback very much as it lets other buyers know they're in safe hands. You don't have to lay it on thick in the comment section, and if you don't want to bother at all, I still appreciate your business, but please contact me first if there are any issues that make your transaction less than satisfactory before leaving negative or neutral feedback or leaving less than five stars.

GUIDELINES FOR GRADING MEDIA
Mint (M)
Vinyl Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all.  
CD  Perfect. No scuffs/scratches, unplayed - possibly still sealed. Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Perfect. No wear, marks, or any other imperfections - possibly still sealed. 
Near Mint (NM)
Vinyl A nearly perfect record. A NM record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.    CD Near perfect. No obvious signs of use, it may have been played - but it has been handled very carefully. Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Near Perfect. No obvious wear, it may have only the slightest of marks from handling. 
Very Good Plus (VG+) 
Vinyl Generally worth 50% of the Near Mint value. A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.  
CD  A few minor scuffs/scratches. This has been played, but handled with good care - and certainly not abused. Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Slight wear, marks, indentations, it may possibly have a cut-out hole (or similar).
Very Good (VG) 
Vinyl Generally worth 25% of Near Mint value. Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time. Goldmine price guides with more than one price will list Very Good as the lowest price.  
CD Quite a few light scuffs/scratches, or several more-pronounced scratches. This has obviously been played, but not handled as carefully as a VG+.  Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: More wear, marks, indentations than a VG+. May have slight fading, a small tear/rip, or some writing.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+) 
Vinyl  Generally worth 10-15% of the Near Mint value. A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.  
CD  There are a lot of scuffs/scratches. However it will still play through without problems. This has not been handled with much care at all.  Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Well worn, marked, more obvious indentations, fading, writing, than a VG - possibly a more significant tear/rip.
Poor (P), Fair (F)
Vinyl  Generally worth 0-5% of the Near Mint price. The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully split, crinkled, and written upon.  
CD  The CD may or may not play some or all of the tracks. See the seller's comments for details. Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Very worn. It may have obvious writing on it, it may be ripped/torn, or significantly faded, or water damaged.
