ATTENTION international bidders!
Please understand that altering the final price of online purchases to avoid customs fees is illegal.  Every order is processed digitally, the shipping label affixed to the package will show the exact cost of the item.  I am an honest seller and cannot alter the amount, so please do not ask me to do so. RECORD packaging & shipping!
I provide ample padding in each package to prevent shifting during the shipping process. I also use industry-standard shipping boxes which are specifically designed for shipping records. Records are shipped outside their sleeves (if a sleeve is included) and covers to prevent damage during transit.  

Goldmine Standard Grading:
SS / NM- / VG++ / VG+ / VG / G+ / G / P
I grade very conservatively, please see my grading scale below the record description for more details.



Vinyl:  VG to VG+
Record has light scuffs and marks, LP plays with light background noise overall but - in my opinion - still sounds great.  Nice thick vinyl. I've listened to the entire album several times and play was continuous with no skips. This is both a visual as well as a play grade.  The pictures show the record as it is, the vinyl still shines.  S1 stamped in the trail-off on both sides.  Clip 2 below has the most apparent background noise of any part of the record but still sounds acceptable - to me anyway.  This is a rather rare Italian first pressing, which is why I am offering it for sale.

Cover / Sleeve:
The cover is VG+ or better condition.  There was a small, inch long split at mouth in on the top seam but it has been neatly repaired.  All other seams are strong.  The top edge has light contact wear near the spine.  The spine looks strong and the print is clear.  Bottom edge looks nice.  Back cover has some overall light contact wear.  Some ring wear but nothing more than can be seen in the pictures.

The inner paper sleeve is the original wax paper type from PYE.


Please inspect the pictures well for something I may have missed mentioning. I've enjoyed the record while I've owned it, its time to let it go to make room for more acquisitions. I try to be conservative when grading, I hope my description was sufficient.


Thanks for looking!
Mike

All records are packaged with care and shipped outside their sleeves and covers, encased in bubble wrap, padded with cardboard when necessary, boxed in record boxes and taped well. All orders are processed digitally to avoid shipping errors. Each buyer's physical address listed with PayPal and eBay will be automatically added to the label then printed and taped to the box. Delivery confirmation is free inside the US. International orders will have the complete order information including buyer name, record name, weight, final price and customs number clearly printed. Final value prices cannot and will not be altered for customs' sake, that practice is illegal and I will not mark any package as a gift. Please see the shipping details in the listing for the service being used. Buyer can contact me at any time to discuss further shipping arrangements.


Goldmine Grading Details
SS = Still Sealed
any defects will be listed and/or photographed to complete the description

NM- = Near Mint Minus
just short of absolutely perfect
acceptable defects would include a hairline mark not detectable to the touch and not affecting playback, background noise is nearly silent

VG++ = Very Good Plus Plus
most records I will list fall under this grade, just short of NM- but may have a mark or contact wear to the label to grade it slightly lower, maybe a drill hole or cut, maybe a mark or name written on the label lightly, sound is still great, loud and near perfect, cover may have slight edge or corner wear, maybe slight ring wear

VG+ = Very Good Plus
a great record, sound is high quality though may have a few pops or clicks, overall very nice looking vinyl possibly with light marks & scuffs, labels may have a name or mark on them, possible light contact wear to the label, covers may have a small split but not large or gaping, edge wear on cover may show more than slight, may be a mark on cover

VG = Very Good
only records I will list with this grade would be rather rare or of higher book value, meant to sell as a filler until a better record comes along, vinyl may have feelable marks but should play through without skipping, pops or clicks may be louder than usual, may have marks or wear on the label, cover may have open splits, wear on print, may have marks or other very apparent defects (all will be stated in description either by type or in the pictures)
