RALPH RECORDS, 7X17 THE RALPH SINGLES, VERY RARE LIMITED EDITION OF ONLY 444, THIS WAS A BOX CONTAINING ALL THE RALPH SINGLES FROM ABOUT 1978 TO 1981, I THINK, HARD TO TELL ANYMORE SINCE THE INFO IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE ON THE WEB, I THINK THEY ARE TRYING TO RE-INVENT THEMSELVES ALL OVER AGAIN, NOW THIS BOX IS SUPPOSED TO BE NUMBERED, BUT IT MUST BE NUMBERED ON THE INSIDE AND IT'S STILL SEALED SO I JUST DON'T KNOW? THERE IS ALSO SUPPOSED TO BE SOME ARTWORK, BUT AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW. THE PIC I HAVE OF THE OPEN BOX WAS RIPPED, ER, BORROWED FROM ANOTHER SELLER. IT CAME IN A LIMITED EDITION OF 444, I THINK THIS IS BECAUSE OF 444 GROVE STREET WHERE THEY WERE ONCE LOCATED, ALSO THE FAB 4, ENGINE 44, FORTY-FOUR, PART FOUR OF THE MOLE TRILOGY AND PERHAPS, LE FORTE FOUR, BUT DON'T SAY THAT I TOLD YOU THAT, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A SECRET. IT MUST BE TOUGH LIVING A LIFE OF SECRETS.

This box will be sent just like an lp, except, I won't flatten it and sorry, but it can't be combined with other lps in shipping as it takes up the whole box, so hopefully the info below won't be too confusing, I'll have to adjust shipping, so please wait for me to send you a final invoice.

COVER: Very good+++ condition, most excellent indeed, still sealed in shrinkwarp (I was told that the pink puff might swell when exposed to moist air, so it remained sealed!)

VINYL: Very good+++ condition, nice and shiney and clean, never has seen the light of day, or the dark of night!

SOUND: Very very good+++, if it's Ralph, you know it's gotta be good!!!!

Please note that I had to make some shipping changes below.

BIDDING REQUIREMENTS:

Please wait for me to send you an invoice after the auction so I can make sure all the details for shipping are correct, I will try to get your item(s) mailed out to you the next day following your payment but on occasion it may take me a day or two at the most, if your sending a money order or well concealed U.S. dollars, please let me know so I can have an idea what's going on.

Sorry I can not and will not end auctions early, please do not bid unless you intend to pay.
This is not a business, it is not a record store, even though I have far more rare records than any store could imagine, they are all mine, which I have collected since 1960, I collected records like some people collect baseball cards, but now find myself surrounded by thousands of records, and they must all go!!!!!

Please contact me if you have any questions, I prefer Paypal but will except Bidpay and money orders in U.S. Dollars, please contact me within 3 days of auction end, must recieve payment within 14 days of purchase, item ships when payment recieved. If your paying with Paypal, I will expect payment no later than 4 days from auction end, if your paying by money order, I need to know no later than 3 days of auction end that your sending money order, and will expect payment to arrive no later than 14 days of auction end, I think that's pretty fair, and unfortunately, I will have to file a non-paying bidder if these conditions are not met, If you have a problem or any questions please contact me and I'll see what I can do.

Please note shipping costs, I use Priority and Global Priority for the simple reason that the faster the item gets to you, the less risk of loss or damage to the item, there are countries that do not except Global Priority and I will adjust the price accordingly, if you really want to save a few dollars on shipping, I will do this for you, but please just be aware of the risks involved, if you have any questions, please ask before bidding.

Feedback:

If you are not satisfied for some reason please contact us prior to leaving feedback so we can fix the problem.
We do want to make you happy, and love giving as well as getting positive feedback, all records are checked under a bright light and played before putting them up for auction, I won't sell it unless it meets my high standards!

Grading Definitions:

Mint (M): Absolutely perfect in every way - never played, possibly sealed. (Mint grading used sparingly if at all)
Near Mint (NM or M-): Near Mint is the highest grade listed in all Goldmine guides. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this, implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record shows no obvious signs of wear. Lp should look new, just purchased. No creases, folds, seam splits or visual defects.

Very Good Plus (VG +): Very Good Plus will show signs that it was played, and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show slight signs of wear and may have scuffs or light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. (Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK) NOTE: None of my records are warped!!!!!

Very Good (VG): Many of the defects found in VG + will be more pronounced on a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during intros and fades, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches that will affect the sound. This is the lowest price grade used by Goldmine listings, no need to go any lower than Very Good (VG) I won't sell it if it's not at least Very Good!

Please remember, these are records and not cds, and even a mint copy of a record will have a minimal amount of surface noise, the more +++ after very good, the closer the record is to near mint, I don't think any record is mint unless it is still sealed, and even in that case, there are some manufacturers who have poor quality vinyl, I'll try to indicate this when I can, I won't try to rip you off, I will do my very best to give you an accurate description, and will do my very best to assist you in any way I can, I want you to have a pleasant experience and that is my main goal, so have fun, and please, ask me any questions you may have before you bid, I'll try to give you all the info I can! - THE DROOGSTER
