Condition of Record: N. Never played. Record and booklet removed from cover only to be photographed for this auction.

Condition of Cover: Classic Folkways very-heavy cover in excellent shape. Front text is completely clean, photo bright; no marks. Only marring: factory-made cut-out hole, lower-right corner. Back as clean as the front. Spine perfect, neither corner bumped. Open-end lower corner has the slightest wear. Horizontal edges have no shelfwear at all (Folkways black cardboard covers incredibly durable).

I'm the original owner of the record. I have carefully kept it stored upright on a shelf, away from sunlight, in its sleeve and cover.

I'm an independent seller divesting his own record collection. I'm not selling from a store or warehouse, with multiple copies of titles, or on behalf of a professional collector.

Shipping: Ebay requires seller to indicate shipping methods and other particulars, then automatically inserts the cost at the top of the listing. Buyer will pay amount as determined by destination, by shipping method he chooses, and by required insurance (see: below); I don't gouge the price to make more profit. (USPS Media Mail is cheapest; I will provide prices for US Priority, or for FedEx or UPS ground, if requested.)

Insurance is mandatory on shipments to US addresses: The final price of the item determines the amount of insurance required. Please wait till I inform you of your total cost prior to submitting payment. It and not Ebay's stated cost is the amount to be paid.

**For winners outside US**: USPS shipping options are International Priority and International Express. Both methods include insurance but only Express provides a return receipt. (Check USPS's website for shipping prices.) If you want a private-company shipper, I will quote you the cost at end of auction. First-Class-Package service, which doesn't include insurance, is an option; the shipping cost will be lower, but if your item doesn't arrive you have no recourse. The risk is yours.

Packing: The LP will be carefully placed in the standard cardboard LP box. If you want it packed in any special way, or with cardboard inserts for extra protection, please say so.

Payment: Although Ebay now processes payments directly, I also accept Paypal. I accept cash in cases of in-person deliveries.

Returns: Returns will be accepted in cases of error in description.
