SOUL TIME - BOBBY TIMMONS - WITH ART BLAKEY - RARE ORIGINAL MONO DEEP GROOVE RIVERSIDE RLP 334 LP 
VINYL =   NM COVER =   VG++    



*I am a record fan and longtime collector and now starting to sell off a good part of my vinyl collection. I am not a store, a dealer or record flipper, these Lp's have all been in my collection and played lovingly and delicately for the years I have had them. I will be as careful as possible about condition, and know that in general my records are clean and excellent playing examples of some hard to find items. If a record had excess noise or any real issues that affected enjoyment it didn't stay in my collection for long. I like a quiet play as much as any other audiophile. Always played on very high quality equipment in a smoke free home and taken care of like they were my children. I'm not a collector, just an avid listener with a good collection who will miss most of these when they are gone.  
*I have sold a fair amount of my records on ebay and had very few issues as far as grading and such, so if a record is not in the condition described it may be returned for refund.. but not for any other reason.  I don't want unhappy customers.. so if you do have any issues be sure to communicate with me and let's work it out as I appreciate the excellent seller rating I've earned so far on ebay and would like to keep it that way.  I am now using the GOLDMINE grading system for all my lp's.
*All records come in a mylar sleeve with the vinyl outside of the cover to prevent tearing and will be safely packaged in a durable cardboard record box with bubble wrap and another cardboard protection piece. Up to 2 single Lp's fit into these boxes (for the most part) so shipping can usually be combined so that every two records will ship as one. I will ship promptly via USPS with delivery confirmation and insurance for the purchase price of your record (in the usa). *PLEASE NOTE THE ACTUAL SHIPPING COSTS* (ebay does not allow me to enter the true cost but i can't buy the box/packaging and ship with proper methods to ensure safe delivery for only four bucks!) *Continental US shipping is $7 and all other locations via USPS First Class International is $21.  Paypal only.  Payment is requested due immediately after auction ending so I can get to the post office and get your record on the way without delay. If you have any issues with prompt payment please talk to me first.  Thank you in advance and good luck.  Cheers!
**PLEASE READ**  - sorry to have to add this note, but i just had an issue with a buyer in russia that purchased an lp.  i did my part and shipped it promptly, but it was apparently "lost" in the russian postal system... the buyer never received the album and i never got it back.  we both were unlucky, but he was awarded a full refund of all costs and therefore i was the only loser in the transaction.  i lost my lp and the money i spent on shipping and he got everything refunded.  to me this is not a fair deal.  i'm not a record store, just an individual selling his collection.  therefore, **as an international buyer you must take responsibility for the package once it has left my post office.. i package very well, and i always supply the tracking number through ebay so you can follow it, but if for some reason you do not receive it or it is damaged in shipping, i cannot be responsible.**  i have only had one issue of a lost lp, and one other of a damaged lp, so its not a common issue, but i cannot afford to refund for something that is not my fault.  thanks for understanding and dont let it stop you from bidding.. as the percentages of this happening are very low.  thank you.
 

The Disc (Vinyl) and the Album Cover are graded separately.

DISC (VINYL) GRADES SS
(STILL SEALED) Sealed at factory and never opened. Disc is assumed to be undamaged and mint, but this cannot be proven until the album is actually opened and the disc examined. M
(MINT) Perfection, no flaws, defects, marks or otherwise indications of being handled or played. Any scuffs, hairline scratches or other marks disqualify discs from this category. I do not use this grade, as even the act of inserting the disc or removing it from the paper sleeve may cause scuff marks on the vinyl. NM or M- 
(NEAR MINT or MINT MINUS) This is highest grade that I will assign to opened, handled records. The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. The label is bright, clean and unmarked. E or VG++
(EXCELLENT or VERY GOOD ++) Disc plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a hairline scratch or two but nothing that is obvious or affects play. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked. VG+
(VERY GOOD PLUS) Some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact on the sound quality. Vinyl will still have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections (small labels or initials, etc.) but otherwise clean. VG
(VERY GOOD) Vinyl will have noticeable scratches or scuffs that cause minor surface noise, but do not overpower the music. There will be no skips. Vinyl may appear somewhat dull and grayish. Labels may have small tears, tape marks, larger writing, etc. but still easily legible. There may be wear or deformation of the spindle hole. G
(GOOD) Well-played, dull, grayish vinyl with deeper scratches and wear causing distracting surface noise (hisses, pops, cracks and other nasties). The record will still play through without any skips. Labels may be significantly defaced or damaged. F
(FAIR)
P
(POOR) Unless the record is particularly rare, I would not try to sell a record in this condition. There will be major noise, surface damage, deep scratches, and skips. Attempting to listen to these discs will be painful. These discs are basically trash unless a collector desires one to fill a space in a collection until a better one comes along.

ALBUM COVER GRADES SS
(STILL SEALED) Album is still in the factory-applied shrink-wrapping. M
(MINT) Absolutely perfect; no corner dings, marks, tears, dents, impressions from the disc, or other flaws. Cover should appear as if a record has never been inside. NM or M-
(NEAR MINT or MINT MINUS) Very minor signs of wear or cover impressions. Artwork is as close to perfection as possible. E or VG++
(EXCELLENT or VERY GOOD ++) Minor disc impression or slight corner creases, no wrinkles, puckers, seam splits or writing on the cover. Artwork is clean and unworn and there is no ink wear. VG+
(VERY GOOD PLUS) Cover is clean but may have minor writing or marks and may show slight wear. There may be just the start of ring wear, where the disc has created a raised area on the cover that resulted in the ink wearing off the paper. There may be slight discoloration or staining, minor seam wear, but no splits or tears. Corners may have small creases or fraying. VG
(VERY GOOD) Covers are worn and used. Seams may be starting to split or may have been unobtrusively repaired with clear tape. (I use special archival-quality, non-yellowing, clear tape for all repairs.) There is moderate ringwear, but the artwork is still attractive. There may be yellowing or discoloration and there may be larger writing, labels, or marks. Corners may have damage or creases and there may be scratches or gouges that otherwise damage the artwork. G
(GOOD) Several (but not all of the following flaws will apply: Seam splits, large marker writing, major seam splits, significant ring wear, damaged corners, tears, cuts, gouges, masking or duct tape seam repairs, or other flaws and damage. Again, probably only useful to fill a collection niche until something better can be found. F
(FAIR)
P
(POOR) Trash, useable only to keep the record off the floor.
