..............................................................

Please note that the main image used in our listings is a partial scan of the front cover of the album, as the entire cover won't fit on our scanner.  Sometimes we'll also scan part of the back cover or another part of the album (inside gatefold, inner sleeves or inserts, LP labels) and combine both images together.

Thanks for checking out our listings.  If you like this one, chances are you'll want to check out our excellent selection of interesting and obscure 80's and 90's indie vinyl and CDs, and a way cool inventory of hand-letterpress printed ephemera (stamps, postcards, etc.) printed by Independent Projct Press.   And on top of that, we offer obscure and unusual LPs of many different genres from the 60’s and 70’s in the Spiral Groove section of our store.  We’ve been selling records on ebay since 1999, with an extremely positive feedback rating, so buy with confidence.  Keep checking back, as we’ll be listing more obscure and intriguing music on a periodic basis, and you never know what will surface. 

Please be sure to bookmark our ebay store and check back often:

Order fulfillment for all purchases from our ebay store is now being handled by the good folks at TheIdealCopy.com, who also stock loads of great 80's and 90's indie music CDs, with a focus on postpunk sounds.  Be sure to check out their website, and shipping costs for purchases from their website can be combined with purchases from our ebay store, though separate payments will need to be made for each store.

CONDITION:

VINYL: VG+ plays with a little crackle in the quiet parts
COVER: VG- water damage, small tears, scuffing, edge wear

Here’s a general description of how we’ve graded the records we offer.  In some cases we may describe a record as being “VG+ to VG++,” or some other combination of grades.  What this means is that it seems like the record either falls between the description of the grades as described below, or one side may be VG+ and the other VG++.  As always, grading is in the eye of the beholder, and we try to grade our offerings in such a way that if we were buying the record and it was graded the way we’ve graded it, that we would be satisfied with how it was graded.   

M: Mint (as new). It’s either still sealed, or it’s unsealed and we know for a fact that it has never been played.  Covers will be as new or still sealed in shrink wrap.

NM: Near mint. The record has no marks or visible faults, like new, perhaps played once or twice, and has been very well cared for, with beautiful sheen.  Covers will have no creases, ring wear, or seam splits of any kind.  Perhaps a tiny corner ding or two, but all in all a clean, good quality cover.

VG++ (EX or NM-): Very good plus plus (Excellent or near mint minus). The record shows some sign of having been carefully played, perhaps some light surface scuffing from the inner sleeve, with minimal or no discernable effect on play, and with no significant distractions from the sound.  The record still has nice sheen, and there may be an occasional tick or pop here and there, but in general plays excellent.  Covers will have very minor wear -- no splits or tears, but may have one or two small blemishes or very minor light edge wear or ringwear, or tiny edge creasing and corner dings. 

VG+: Very good plus. The record has been played regularly. There may be visual marks and light scratches or lines on the disc that have some effect on play -- crackles on several tracks, or a few more ticks and pops than a VG++ record, or some surface noise in quiet spots or between tracks. Record still has decent sheen, and plays fine for most purposes.  Cover will show a few more signs of wear than VG++.  It may have minor defacing, minor writing, cut-out mark,some ringwear, edge wear or creasing.  May have stickers, small seam splits, or tiny tears or blemishes from the removal or a previous price tag. A solid decent cover.

VG: Very good. The record has been played regularly and is showing signs of wear . May have many visual marks, and surface scratches, thus there may be numerous audible pops and crackles. Beginning to show signs of a lack of original sheen, and groove wear may be evident on sight, with some scratches that may cause repeating ticks or pops.  No skips of serious defects, but most likely will have some surface noise during quiet passages or between songs.  Covers will have multiple flaws, such as very obvious ringwear, heavy creasing, larger seam splits, small tears, and may have stickers and/or writing on the cover.  There may be minor moisture damage or small stains.

VG-. Very good - . The record has been played many times, affecting the sound quality with pops and crackles, due to surface scratches and wear. In general there should be no skips or major flaws, and in most cases we will not list a record that is graded below VG-.  Covers will have multiple flaws, more so than a VG cover -- heavy ringwear or creasing, taped seam splits, tears, and may have stickers and/or writing on the cover.  Heavier moisture damage and staining.  Anything we list that is below a VG- cover will have a full description of flaws.

SHIPPING & PACKING:

USA -- Media Mail shipping costs (includes Delivery Confirmation) will be $4.00.  Add 50 cents for each additional 12" vinyl purchased at the same time.  Priority Mail shipping costs may vary from around $6.00 to $10.00, depending on where you live.  If you want Priority Mail shipping please send us a message to that effect and we will calculate the cost for you.  We can also ship via UPS or FedEx (Ground or Express) upon request.  Please contact us for a shipping quote if you want your items shipped by either of these non-postal services.

Canada airpost: $7.50.  Add $2.00 for each additional 12" vinyl purchased at the same time.

INSURANCE & REGISTRATION:

While all U.S. shipments are sent with Delivery Confirmation, and it's rare that a package doesn't reach it's destination safely, this is still no guarantee that it will.  If you wish to have your item insured for full or partial value then let us know and we'll calculate the additional cost, which for international shipments could be substantially more as insured items must be sent at the Parcel Post rate.  We may require insurance or registration for certain shipments outside the USA (say, if the total value of your shipment exceeds the amount that we'd lose if it never arrived and you file a complaint to get your payment refunded).  Please note that uninsured parcels are sent at the purchaser's risk. 

PAYMENT:

Payment by PayPal only, now that ebay has figured out how to maximize it's fees by owning a piece of every part of the transaction.  If purchasing more than one item from us, please send us an email confirming which items you are purchasing, along with your mailing address. If you are planning to bid on any of our auction items which have not yet completed you may wait until the auctions are complete to pay for all of your items -- we will then send you an ebay invoice for the total.  All we ask is that you let us know that there are other auction items you're planning to bid on. Quick payment is always appreciated and we're happy to give positive feedback for a smooth transaction. We do appreciate your communicating with us in a timely manner, and we'll endeavor to do the same. However, if we have not heard from you within 1 week we'll send you a reminder email. Any transactions not acknowledged or completed with 3 weeks will be reported to ebay as an unpaid transaction so that we can get our fees refunded.

You will also find in our auction listings rarities and other one-of-a-kind items we’ve decided to sell out of our collections and accumulations from the past 25 years.  We try to post new items every week or two, so please bookmark our store and do check back periodically.

Thank you for your interest in The Independent Project Shop -- we certainly appreciate it!
