Description

     

Many collectors might grade this vintage vinyl treasure at near mint, but I'll go with vg+ because of some minuscule scuffs on outer grooves. Has bright groove luster and plays a super clean and quiet vg+. Original issue from 1962 issued on VeeJay Records 1043 by blues guitarist and vocalist John Lee Hooker titled Burnin'. Label is clean vg+ with minor wear and cover is vg+ with light shelf, seam and corner wear, has no splits, no writing, no stickers, tears or stains. Includes original VeeJay catalog inner sleeve with split on one side. Vinyl is VPI wet vac cleaned and in high density lined inner sleeve.

All individually listed LP's (non-lot and not sealed) are shipped with vinyl out of jacket, with both vinyl & jacket in clear poly protective cover

SHIPPING COSTS 

DOMESTIC: Shipping cost is actual postage plus $1.00 to help defer cost of professional packaging materials, handling and delivery confirmation. I will always try to ship bulk orders the least expensive option, either Media Mail or Parcel Post, unless Priority Mail is requested. I include free delivery confirmation with each shipment. Illinois State residents will be charged 7.75% sales tax.
INTERNATIONAL: Charge will be determined by weight, country and value of content. Shipping cost is actual postage plus $1.00 to help defer cost of professional packaging materials and handling. Withhold payment until I forward invoice. ALL INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS OVER $50.00 VALUE MUST BE SHIPPED PRIORITY AIR, required by Paypal in order to qualify for seller & buyer protection. I will not falsify value on Customs form and I will not ship to a non-verified US address. Import duty, taxes or other monetary requirements associated with destination country are the buyers responsibility and I am not responsible for Customs delays or Customs fees. I only ship to a few International locations. I DO NOT ship to Russian Federation, China, Middle East, Asia, Italy or South America.

PACKAGING 

All records are professionally packaged and most are shipped in cardboard LP mailers with cardboard flats & bubble wrap. Non bulk lot records are removed from cover. Bulk lot records are shipping with vinyl inside cover. Larger bulk shipments are all shipped in new boxes designed to accommodate records and packaging. All combined LP purchases over 20 pounds are shipped in two boxes of equal weight (read multiple wins explanation). I do not skimp on packaging in order to save a few cents on shipping cost. Please do not instruct me on how to safely package vinyl.

RECORD GRADING LP'S

I place emphasis on play grade, maintain the highest professional standards, do spot check play grading on all individual auction items and always provide an accurate visual grade and label appearance. I play grade on a quality system with a high end cartridge in order to maintain a strict and undisguised play grade. I always keep my grading simple and fair and will not subject my customers to a proliferation of meaningless grades. If a record plays between two grades I always apply the lesser grade, I don't create a grade in an attempt to articulate a borderline evaluation.
nm....near mint, superb play quality with little to no signs of visual wear and plays with little to no extraneous noise. The only records that qualify for a "mint" grade on my listings are my new unplayed and unhandled store stock items.
vg+...very good plus, excellent play quality with minor use and little to no overall visual wear. Any minor scuffs, light surface scratches, or blemishes do not effect play and play grade may have some very minor extraneous area noise.
vg....very good, very playable, probably with some extraneous surface noise. A slightly mishandled or well used record. May have visual scratches or blemish. I generally do not auction vg albums unless they are exceptional pieces and highly sought after items. Most vg albums I will include in bulk lots.

I use standard record grading abbreviations and include cover grade within each description. I open, clean and inspect all suspect sealed older albums. 

Grading is very subjective and everyone has their position on determining various grades. I stand by my grading as stated within grading details above, but there are always those who have unrealistic high expectations. Please understand that many of my vinyl records are 30 to 60 years old. In my experience I have rarely found vinyl of this vintage that, under extreme scrutiny, does not have a hairline scuff, mark, blemish or manufacturing smudge. My vinyl grading has satisfied almost 100% of my buyers. If you are consistently disappointed with my grading, please refrain from participation in future auctions. I hold no hard feelings and understand totally. I've been doing this successfully full time for over 40 years and am well aware of individuals various interpretations of grading records. If you have a problem, contact me and explain exactly what the issue is, please don't regrade the album. 

GUARANTEE

Retail music is my full time occupation. Your satisfaction is important to me. I guarantee everything I sell and will be cooperative and understanding towards any of my valued customers who genuinely feel I may have not maintained my grading standards, have overlooked a flaw or manufacturing defect, or have mistakenly misrepresented an item. Buyer must initiate return process as specified within eBay. Returned item must be received in same condition as originally shipped. I will always conduct my business in a fair, courteous and respectful manner towards all my valued customers.
