Regarding condition . . .  selling "as found".  I would personally say this is in great condition.  Especially for it's age.  Records have minimal wear. I am sure the bidder will be pleased.  Feel free to email me if you desire more pictures.

Please pardon the glare/reflections in some of the pictures of the records.

New York State residents must add 8% sales tax or supply me with a tax identification number.

Method of payment is PayPal.

Will ship internationally with "prior approval".

Shipping . . . . Bidder is responsible for shipping and handling charges. Insurance is optional, extra and recommended.

NOTE:  I add a nominal amount on top of the postage to recover some of the expenditure for the packing peanuts and bubble wrap needed for the package to arrive safely.  I assure you the figure is nominal.  If the shipping charges appear high when using the calculator in the ebay listing the fault will lie with the exorbitant postal prices which continue to rise.
