CLAUDE and the HIGHTONES  original record from 1964  * High Sailing / Monkey Stuff  Record vinyl is * VG++  and label is * NM- condition. If you do not have this one, then here is your chance. Don't get left out on this one. Put your bid high enough to make sure you get it! This is a real rockin R& B instrumental that would be perfect for you DJ's out there. You have to have this one, it really SMOKES. It's also on a really hard to find Label !!!

I have been away for a few months, but I am back selling this summer and I have a lot of really great stuff that I am going to be putting up for auction, so check out my other auctions, And save me as one of your favorite sellers. I already had a collection of over 4,000 45's and I recently purchased a collection of over 12,000 45's from a retired collector from Chicago. I will be listing many more records each week. If you have certain ones you are interested in, please contact me with your wish list and I will do my best to help you with your collection. If you win one of my auctions and would like to save on shipping, please email me with other records that you are looking for. If I have one or more, I would be glad to give you a fair price and send them with your order to save you $$ on shipping.

 I will combine orders and discount shipping. Shipping cost is $3.00 for the first one ( 1 ) or two ( 2 ) 45's and 50 cents for each additional 45 you purchase. If you pay the same day as you win, I take those purchases to be mailed out the next day. Your record will come with a paper sleeve. If you are interested in having an original company sleeve, I would be willing to add .25 cents to the cost of your purchase and send it with the record. You will need to contact me and let me know that is what you want to do. For some of the rarer labels, I probably would not have a company sleeve. If there is an issue with the b-side label, I will take the picture of that side instead of the A- side just so you the bidder can observe for yourself any problems that the label may have.

Willing to ship international, but rates will vary depending on the current going rate for the country you are in.  In general, it will be  $7.00 for the first 1 or 2 records you purchase, and 50 cents more per record after the first two. I have recently sent records to Japan, United Kingdom, France, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Spain, Australia and Brazil for $7.00 shipping.

GRADING : I am a collector myself, so I want to grade as accurately and fairly as I possibly can. With that being said sometimes 2 people can disagree on the condition of an item, so if you are not happy, please contact me so I can resolve the problem before you give me negative feedback. My goal is to treat you the way I want to be treated, so I will be honest with you and give you the service you deserve.  Thank You.

FEEDBACK :  I  believe as the seller, that when you the buyer have successfully completed your end of the transaction, I should leave you feedback. After you receive your purchase, Please have the courtesy to do the same for me.  My desire is to build up a reputation as one of the most respected sellers on ebay, so I am striving to receive all perfect marks from you the buyer. If I did not meet your expectations, please let me know so I can improve my service to you and to others in the future.  Thank You.

I grade visually and then I play the record and listen to the sound quality to determine a final evaluation that I give the record. In general I will put the grade one mark lower just to be on the safe side. A record that I may feel is a VG++ would be listed as VG+. That is exactly what happened with my first sale, the gentleman that won the auction for a VG+ record emailed me back saying I could have graded the record NM. I think you will be happy with the records I sell, for the most part they are really great records. The only time I will sell a record below a VG grade, would be when the record is one that is rare or very hard to find in any condition. I also try to be very precise with my grading so I break down the grading scale into far more parts than most sellers will do.

Here is my Grading Scale:

NM :This is a record that looks and sounds almost perfect.

NM- : This record is basically as nice as the NM record, but it might have 1 or 2 very slight imperfections.

VG+++ : This record would be almost the same as the NM- record, but it might have 1 more imperfection that in my mind keeps it from meeting that higher standing.

VG++ :  This is a really beautiful record, but it will have a few more slight imperfections. Nothing too serious though.

VG+ :  A very nice record, but it may show slight signs of wear. Light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. This would still be a good record to play in a jukebox.

VG :  A nice record, but it will have more of the obvious flaws than a record in VG+ condition would have. Still a nice record that plays with a minimum of noise.

VG- :  Still plays fine, but it is not a beautiful record by any stretch of the imagination, and you will definitely hear noise when you play it. Does not skip.

VG-- : Plays fine, but has more scratches and is noisier than a VG- record. Does not skip. Really only good to fill a gap so you can have that record until a better one comes along.

 I am available to answer any questions you may have, so feel free to email me whenever you have a question. I do have a (regular) job, so if I don't get back to you as soon as you would like, it's because I am unavailable until I get Home. I will do my best to respond ASAP.  Thank you.   David
