Here's the descriptive synopsis:

  VINYL CONDITION:   VERY GOOD PLUS

Has several light paper scuffs, light surface scratches, and smudges.  Overall I still played every song on this LP until I retired in 1988.   Still plays great except for (* Intruders: "MAMA")...maybe.

Lost a little of its original luster.

 * NOTICE:  On the song "I'll Always Love My Mama"...it states on the label that it "Skips At The End"...which it may.

  This record was kept in a well ventilated, dehumidified, air-conditioned, pest free, pet free environment for decades. 

  Label:     NEAR MINT

 No spindle scrapes, no wear, no peeling,  no writing,  no fading.

COVER CONDITION:  Excellent

Gold embossed promo stamp on the rear.

No rips, no writing, no ring-wear.   Two tiny  creases.

Some light general shelf-wear with a slightly peeled rear seam in the middle outside (about one-inch),

otherwise a very, very nice jacket.

Be proud to own this classic LP....loaded with rich Disco history!!!

GRADING SCALE:

MINT ---- It should appear to be perfect. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains, labels or writing, tears or splits. Mint means perfect.

NEAR MINT ---- Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly.

EXCELLENT---- The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully. Not too far from perfect. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original luster may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect play would be acceptably Excellent for most collectors.

VERY GOOD ---- Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, but should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.

GOOD ---- Well played with little luster and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record should still play all the way through without skipping. Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not obliterate the artwork.

POOR ---- Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above "Good" grading should be seen as Poor. Several cover flaws.

WOL --- Writing on label

WOJ --- Writing on jacket

WLP---White Label Promo

GOOD HOME NEEDED:

Please don't bid on this record if you are an investor, and your only objective is to give it a "quick turn" for profit. 

Only good DJ's, and record preservationist's (collectors)  deserve a classic like this.

Winner take notice:  Please take good care of this classic record. Give her a good loving home.  She has consistently performed well all of her life.   Take good care of her.  Don't place her on something that may scratch her...or cause her harm.  Keep her away from heat and direct hot sun, which will cause her to wilt and expire.  Don't mix her up in a different cover...or misplace her...she may miss you.  Occasionally, place her gently on a padded platter, and carefully lay down her lover...a clean and balanced tonearm not to exceed 3.0 grams of weight, and she will sing for all eternity.  This is all I ask.  And...

Winner:  please pay within 3 days.  Paypal preferred.

Shipping Details: 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

U.S. Domestic:

MEDIA MAIL: 

  1-   12" RECORD:     $4.00 

EACH  ADDITIONAL  12" RECORD....ADD  $1.00  (six - 12" records MAXIMUM)

DELIVERY CONFIRMATION for an EXTRA $.75  (Each mailer)

(ALL SHIPMENTS MUST HAVE DELIVERY CONFIRMATION)

If you wish priority, just let me know, and it'll be $7.50 for one 12" record thank you.  It's a little faster than "Media Mail" (about 3-4 days).  Additional 12" records are $1.00 ea.

No one ever asked for a record to be shipped overnight...so I won't waste my time.  If you want it "Next Day" the cost is $12.00.

FLAT RATE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:

I Use 3 types of service from the United States Post Office

The dollar value is in U.S. currency.

1:  Priority Mail International  Cost $24.00 (one 12" record)

Usually for records with package value over $50.00 and you wish to have insured.  It takes about a week...if not held-up at customs.  The price for one 12" record is $24.00, and features a  tracking  number. (The USPS may not know where it is at the time...but at least it's insured)

Combining discount:  Add $4.00 for each additional 12" record.  I'll pay for insurance...if needed. (Pretty good...Huh?)

2:  First Class International    Cost: ONLY $14.00 (one 12" Record)  

Carries no insurance, and cannot be tracked.  It usually takes about a week if not slowed down at your port.   NOTICE:   All deliveries sent this way are AT YOUR OWN RISK.  One 12" record shipped is $14.00.  This is great for 12" record(s) valued under $50.00, and you don't care if they're insured.

Combining discount:  Again...add four U.S. dollars  for each additional 12" record.

 Surface shipping is no longer available

   To sellers abroad: please check with your customs bureau.  Don't get me in the middle.  Tariffs SUCK.  Don't be surprised when it arrives at your border.   Know what to do, and how much you want me to declare. 

Peace-Out!!!!
