Del Shannon Runaway original LP

80

Label: Bigtop 1303. Condition Cover/Record: VG++/NM. Mono. Disc is absolutely gorgeous and appears to be unplayed. The labels have no spindle marks and are flawless. The front cover slick has a beautiful picture with no wear whatsoever and fully intact heavy laminate. There is about an inch of very light tatter along the upper open edge and a very small scrunch in the upper left corner. The back cover is flawless except for some light brown discoloration along the upper half of the open edge (see picture). I can't tell if it is a stain or possibly glue bleeding through and it is very light. Both seams and spine are fully intact and tight and have no tears or wear. All writing on the spine is clear and fully legible.

All grading is based on close visual inspection under a revealing light. I grade nothing as being absolutely mint and my 35 years of collecting tell me that my grading standards are on the conservative side. Because I believe in full disclosure and am certain you will be pleased with the stated condition, I offer a money-back guarantee if you are not. My very high positive feedback rating over the past thirteen years of selling on ebay will attest to my integrity in dealing honestly with people. I will strive to list all pertinent information and welcome any questions if something is unclear or if more detail is desired.

All records are original U.S. first pressings unless otherwise stated. Domestic shipping cost for one record is $4.00 via "media" mail. I will be happy to quote a price for priority mail and will combine multiple purchases in order to reduce shipping cost. Records are shipped in custom record boxes with cardboard insert. Vinyl is removed from cover to avoid seam splits in transit. Foreign shipping cost for one record is $20.00 via "first class international" mail. Registration may be required on foreign shipments at an additional cost of $13.00.

Grading criteria. NM (Near Mint) - a near perfect, possibly unplayed record. M- (Mint Minus) - a shade off of NM with just a few very light hairline marks. VG++ (Very Good Plus Plus) – just below M- with superficial signs of use that shouldn’t affect play. VG+ (Very Good Plus) - a very nice copy with slight scuff marks and other minor visible signs of wear, but in acceptable condition for many collectors. VG (Very Good) - a reasonable copy with obvious signs of wear and the possibility of light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages, but still a nice copy to have until a better copy comes along.
