Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Media Mail. Ebay applies tax.
DISK: From a collector's vault, a 1988 version of a Bel-Lark record. Not very common as I saw one other on Ebay. Beautiful label as shown. Very close visual examination reveals a very superficial scuff on each side and very superficial small scratches. Listening closely, I hear a little surface noise in a silent passage of Satisfied with a little more as it fades into the runout. Million and One has very little to no surface noise until it fades into the runout. Then, a tiny bit. Conservatively grading it VG but sounds good. Dead wax has "cut #1" and "cut #2" etched as listed on Discogs [r10951511], where it names all the performers.
Hold payment for invoice on multiple bids for correct combined shipping cost.
My Qualifications: My representation of records is based on my reasonable, careful but amateur examination without magnification or expert knowledge. So be forewarned that the record may not be exactly what I think it is or absolutely perfect in every way under expert magnified visual or expert audiophile listening scrutiny on a high-buck amp and turntable. I am just an intelligent and cautious guy, reasoning out the clues and liquidating records as honestly as I can. Please understand, unless I say otherwise, that the records I am selling were not collected by me so I do not know their history. I am no kind of expert in music or records. I research each item on Discogs and, for 45s, Fosman's Dead Wax book, 45cat, and other sites for all the information in the post. If I have information from Discogs, Fosman or another seller's post that a record is a reissue, I indicate that. I listen to all 45rpm and 78rpm records and parts of any 33rpm that looks potentially damaged. I use an Ion turntable connected to my computer for 33 and 45. I judge them according to Discogs standards and give the reasons for my rating so buyers can second guess me. My quality ratings are not certified in any way. If the difference between an original edition and a reissue is indicated by a tiny detail not shown on Discogs, Fosman or by another seller, I may not discover that. Any record collector or dealer will tell you that published comments about record authentication are sometimes wrong, even in reference books. I sell in the belief that collectors of vintage records are more knowledgeable than me about what they collect and know what they are looking at. I am glad to answer any questions that could determine the authenticity of a version. Because collectors may know the true value of a record, while I do not, I start at a very reasonable price and let bidders set the true value, which is often much higher than I thought or much lower. If an item gets no bids after a while I discard it even though I originally thought it was worth something.
