Special note to foreign bidders: NO FOREIGN SHIP ON THIS ONE! I declare foreign shipments as merchandise with the value you bid for them. Shipment to foreign buyers is via priority mail international with insurance for the value bid. Please e-mail for shipping costs before bidding as this method costs more, but is insurable and trackable. Example: United Kingdom 1-2 pounds $47.45 + $2.10 box/tape/pack = $49.55.

Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

Alternatively, if the ending winning bid is less than $50 and if you have perfect feedback and want this shipped first class international, it could be shipped that method with the understanding there is NO REFUND FOR ANY REASON since the item cannot be tracked online or insured. Example: United Kingdom 1 pound 13 oz.: $24.15 + $2.10 = $26.25.

Please note I do allow returns (see return policy below).

Description:Up for your consideration is the next in a series of unique Lps, this one featuring The Lovelites.

Several unique things about this item: Firstly, this disc retains the original shine with some light marks (one longer one of which I can feel that extends for tracks 2-4 on side 2) grading by sight in normal room light. I'm sure if you took this and put it under a 1000 watt bulb, you'd probably find something that makes it less than mint. If you're that kind of collector, and after a recent unpleasant experience with a buyer from Malaysia, let me suggest this auction is not for you.

I don't claim this record is mint. I took the time to play it and found the tracks to audibly average around VG+(excellent) with scattered very, very light to very light pops, and more prominent very, very light to very light surface noise (SEE GRADING SCALE BELOW!).

Keep in mind how it plays for me may differ how it plays for you based on differences in audio equipment.

You can assign your own grade based on my comments and the scale shown below.

So this is your chance to own a unique item at a reasonable price. Bid early and often so you don't miss out on this auction!

It is further described below, please take the time to read before bidding.

I am using the Goldmine scale of G=Good(1), VG = Very Good(2), VG+ = Very Good Plus(excellent)(3), NM = Near Mint(4) when grading the disc(s).

Here is a summary of the record(s):

Trailing wax: Side 1: "US 1162 T1 2". Side 2: "SUS 1163 T1 2". Inner sleeves: A generic UNI sleeve in fine shape. Cover: Bottom lower outer corner split 2". Top upper outer corner split 4".

Comments: I found the twelve tracks to audibly average around VG+(excellent). You can assign your own grade based on my comments and the scale shown below. A good addition to your LP collection. Side 1: Comments: Oh my love Up to a very light surface noise with very light pops (3.0) This love is real Up to a very light surfact noise with very light pops (3.1) You've hurt me now Up to a very, very light to very light surface noise with very light pops (3.1) How can I tell my mom and dad Up to a very, very light surface noise with very, very light to a few very light to light pops (3.0) I'm in love Up to some very light pops (3.0) Gotta let you go Up to some very light pops (3.0) Side 2: Comments: Who you gonna hurt now Up to a very, very light surface noise with some very light pops (3.1) Certain kind of lover Up to some very light to light pops (2.8) I love you (Yes I do) Up to some very light pops with some very light surface noise (3.0) I don't want to cry Up to some very light pops with some very light surface noise (3.0) I've got love Up to a very, very light surface noise (3.5) Shy boy Up to a very, very light surface noise with some very light pops (3.3)

Additional criteria I use when audibly grading records for people:

• NM(4) = absolutely nothing wrong at all (very rarely happens--I've even opened sealed records and they don't play Near Mint)
• 3.5-3.9 = very, very light surface noise
• 3.1-3.4 = very light surface noise, very light pops
• VG+(3) = up to light pops and light surface noise (below this, one's enjoyment is affected, very subjective)
• VG(2) = up to medium pops and moderate surface noise
• G(1) = up to heavy pops and heavy surface noise

Shipping is $3.22 Media Rate (1-2 pounds) + $2.30 (14 x 14 x 6") box = $5.52. Weight with box is about 1 pound 12 oz.
