Special note to foreign bidders: I declare foreign shipments as merchandise with the value you bid for them.

Feedback/bidding policy: I check feedback daily and will return feedback promptly. Although I go to great lengths to accurately describe my items, if you feel the merchandise is not as described, e-mail me BEFORE leaving feedback and we will resolve it. Please note I do allow returns (see return policy below). If you bid and do not pay, you may expect negative feedback and an unpaid item strike.

Description: Up for your consideration is the next in a series of unique Lps, this one featuring some well-known actors of yesteryear including David McCallum (Man from U.N.C.L.E.) and Charlton Heston (The Ten Commandments, Planet of the Apes).

Several unique things about this item: Firstly, the item retains much of the original shine with some light marks. I did take the time to play a portion of each track, noting only some very light surface noise.
Based on visual observation and past experience, one should expect the tracks on this disc to audibly average at least VG+(excellent).
Secondly, at the time of this listing, no past/present sales on e-bay and no copies found for sale out on the Internet!
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 item!

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

Please e-mail if questions.

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).

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

I normally ship Lp's in 14"x14"x6" boxes padded in styrofoam. Weight with box is about 1 pound 15 oz. Shipping is: $2.77 Media Rate (1-2 pounds) + $.67 box/tape/packing + $.80 delivery confirmation = $4.25.

Buyer pays shipping/handling. Standard method within U.S. is Media Rate, $4.25. This includes delivery confirmation which enables you to track shipping of your package online. Outside U.S., e-mail location to determine S/H costs prior to auction end. Insurance / other methods of shipping cost extra. Payment received within ten days of auction ending. Payment via Paypal preferred.
