Greetings everybody! Thank YOU very much for stopping by another of my ebay record auctions, as I am very glad that you have taken time out of your busy day (or night!) to have a look at what I have to offer this time! I know that recently my auction listings have been sporadic, but I'm doing what I can to get back to action like I'm used to. Well, I'm back at my new/old job-a record store, something I've done for the past 2 decades. My new boss is also my old boss, as he's the one who got me started so long ago, and I'm thrilled to be under his leadership again, and back at work in the business! I just enjoy being around records, don'tcha know! Hopefully, some of the ones I have up for bids are ones you'd enjoy being around and listening to as well! I suppose theres only one way to find out! Let's see what's up for bids this time!

Tonight’s listings are going to be all LPs-however, the ones getting put up are NOT getting “play graded”, as these are going up for the covers. I think these will have some interest, either due to the cheesecake, silliness, or just plain odd/weirdness factors. I will give a brief description of the vinyl’s condition-though there will be a few that either may not, or definitely won’t be playable. But just because the record might not be great, at least you’ll have something neat-o to look at! I sure hope so!  Let’s see what I have up for grabs tonight!

3 Separate Various Artists LPs, "The Anatomy Of Dancing" series-"The Lovin' Mood", "The Latin Mood", and "The Twistin' & Swingin' Mood".
MGM Records, E 4036 (mono), E4037 (mono), and SE 4038 (stereo).
Found all 3 of these on the same day, the first 2 at one stop, the 3rd at another while record hunting not long ago. First time I'd ever seen, much less gotten my hands on this set! Individually, it's okay cheesecake, but put all the pieces together, and ....YOWSAH!  Almost decided to keep these, but figured someone might want them, so it's now up to you folks.
Playing surfaces of the first 2 LPs aren't very good. Lots of wear, scratches, etc. Might be playable, might not-but then again, these aren't being sold for listening purposes anyway. The third, and the only stereo copy of the 3 is actually in quite nice shape and is very playable. If I had to grade them, it would be V, V, and E, respectively. Grading conditions are below.
Covers are like the playing conditions-the first two have writing, wear, splits on the seams, and tape/tape residue. The Stereo copy still has shrink wrap on it, go figure. Maybe the previous owner had a foot fetish and wanted to keep this one in better shape.
If you need more pictures or description, I can and will be happy to provide. If you have any comments or questions, please send them to me, and I will reply as soon as possible.

My Grading is as follows: M (Mint)-ONLY for Still Factory Sealed Records ONLY! No 45 nor 78 will ever get this grading. E+, minimal wear, perhaps only needs cleaning. E, a few light marks, maybe some minor background crackle and/or hiss. E-, light marks, crackling (nothing major), scuffs, etc.. Not great, but still quite playable. V+, More marks, scuffs, needle marks, scratches-but nothing that would make the needle skip. Will have background noise that even with a cleaning will still be around. V. Worn. Scuffs, scratches, can be noisy, but still (probably) won’t cause the needle to skip nor get stuck. V-, Noisy? You bet! Worn? Oh yeah. Playable? Sure, but don’t expect it to sound all peachy keen. P. Bleah! Playable perhaps, but do so at your own risk. Don’t trash a new needle on it. Only used on records considered rare enough for “fill in” purposes to a collector-or to those who do digital restoration.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR NON-U.S. BUYERS!!!!
All items I sell will be sent with postage printed up from eBay. This way, the prices are automatically listed for customs purposes and cannot be altered. Yes, this does mean that the customs people will know the value, but since I get a bit of a price break on postage, I can keep the prices low for you-the buyer.  I will not "mark item as a gift", just so you can evade import rules.  The people at my post office know me, and they will check overseas packages for inspection.  I hope you will understand my position about this, my apologies if you are not able to comply.

Also, international bidders, the price listed for postage on my listings are for domestic mailing.  I wish I could send overseas for that price, but reality speaks different.  I place a fair price on all international postage.  Watch for the invoice if you win.

ALSO-I need to let international bidders know of a certain problem that doesn't always happen, but will arise from time to time.  All International mail sent from this region has to go through the U.S. Postal Service sorting center in Sandston Virginia, by our local airport.  This sorting center has been named the least efficient sorting center in the entire U.S. Postal Service.  They prove this from time to time by mis-routing packages.  If this happens-and I will monitor the delivery-usually it will add at least an extra week for it to arrive.  If there are any problems, please contact me first, and I will do what I must to make sure you are satisfied with the order.
