Hi - Here's a very nice one. The original ARGO YELLOW LABEL STEREO 1ST PRESSING from 1971.  It's an absolute must have for collectors of British Folk / folk-psych lp's.

The vinyl is VG++/NM- with gorgeous full original gloss, with a few extremely light marks. So I played through most of the lp and heard only 6 or 7 random clicks - which a wet cleaning may help reduce.  The front cover is VG++. The white area on the edge is just glare in the photo. But please note the very light water staining (no damage) on the back left edge.

IMPORTANT -  We are moving overseas on Tuesday, June 30th, so we cannot accept returns. For the same reason - we expect the winner to pay VERY PROMPTLY with Paypal after this auction is completed.  This ends on Friday night, and I really want to ship on Saturday.  Monday would be a last resort.  The movers arrive on Tuesday!  If you cannot pay quickly, then please refrain from bidding.

Here is my Grading Key - Grading is by visual inspection only, but being a long-time record collector, I've gotten pretty good at it.  I will mention if I play graded, which I do if it seems necessary.

NM   Near Mint - no marks of any sort. The highest grade for an open LP, such as one that was played only once to tape it.
NM-  Beautiful vinyl but may show multiple spindle marks on the label or very light sleeve rubs.  A "rub" appears as a slight surface discoloration - it is not an abrasion, like a "scuff" that occurs when dirt is present.
VG++  Visual evidence of use but near zero chance of noise once cleaned properly.
VG+  Only light surface marks (such as sleeve scuffing). One or two small needle marks is allowable if they are not the type that normally sound. Overall: minor noise unlikely but not impossible.
VG   Means "Very Good", not "thrashed" like it often does on Ebay. Heavier scuffing or multiple light needle scratches.  Should play fine with normal, non-annoying, occasional clicks or ticks - no loud Pops. 
VG-  Definitely more noise than we would like. I won't usually offer these unless I believe they are really rare, worthwhile listening, or go along with a group.
SEALED  Means just that.  Almost always what's inside is VG+ or better, but you can't assume they are MINT or NM.  For various obvious reasons (including potential fraud on the part of Buyers) we cannot offer returns on sealed lp's.
One caveat about play graded lp's - everyone's cartridge has different attributes. It's possible that mine (Shure V15V-mr) plays a particular lp quietly that yours does not, or vice versa.

Good luck, enjoy!

INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS - Important -

1.   Please check the "Calculated Shipping" below for your actual costs before bidding. Especially if this item is OVER 4LBS. - the package has to go International Priority, which is expensive.

2.   We will ship First Class International if you choose, but the Postal Service DOES NOT OFFER INSURANCE AS AN OPTION on that type of mail.  We will have a USPS receipt as proof that we shipped your item.  If you want to save money by using this method, you must agree to take the risk of damage or non-delivery yourself.  We will not take responsibility for uninsured or under-insured items.  If you cannot agree to this and/or don't want to pay the International Priority rate (which includes insurance) -  then do not bid.

3.   No Bidders from Italy - We sorry, but do not accept bids from Italy. Period.  If you bid, it will be canceled.  Italy has been nothing but headaches, with many non-paying bidders and lp's supposedly "lost" in the mail.
