Up for your consideration is a first press promo of Tom Waits classic "Rain Dogs". Record plays and presents nicely. This record is a Specialty pressing. A great addition to your Tom Waits collection or for that Tom Waits fan in your life. I've owned this record since the early 90's and have only played it a handful of times. 

·         All sales are final. Please look over the listing information and photos and ask any questions prior to placing a bid.

 

·         All records are shipped out of the jacket to prevent any spine damage to the jacket. Records are also secured in poly sleeves and shipped in sturdy cardboard record mailers and packed with inner cardboard filler, when needed.

 

·         I only charge what I get charged for shipping. I don’t like to get gouged on shipping when I buy stuff either. That said, shipping isn’t getting any cheaper. That is out of my control. I will do what I can to work with you if there is a shipping issue or if you need an item right away. I will also adjust shipping costs if you buy more than one item. It goes by weight, so buying in bulk can save. Look over my other listings and ask any questions you may have.

 

·         I am not a professional seller, nor am I an audiophile. I’m just a guy that started collecting records in the early 90’s when everyone was crazy about CD’s. I have played most of my records and have loved them. Most of my records are in great shape, but they are not all perfect and I try to be as honest as I can in my description of them. I am always happy to answer questions and provide more photos. My home is smoke and pet free and the records have been stored in a dry and dark closet in crates.

 

·         Payment is expected within 48 hours of auction closing. If you need more time, send me a message and let me know. I try to be as flexible as possible.
