See below for details on each album,
including condition grading. Note that I tend to go on the low side
out of caution. Has
some wear, like you'd expect from records from the 1950s-1980s. Has
that familiar hiss you expect with vintage vinyl. If you want perfect
sound, buy a CD instead. Will
be packed in generic sleeves to protect during shipping. Please
remember that your listening experience will vary tremendously if you
use a top-notch player vs. a budget player. All records should be
properly cleaned prior to use. As I ship media mail, your purchase
is not insured. Should you desire insurance, please upgrade to
priority mail (or first class if the order is small enough, i.e., 4
or less singles or 1 LP). If more than 4 45s or 1 LP, it'll be too
heavy for first class shipping. As
I ship media mail, your purchase is not insured for damage incurred
during shipping. Should you desire insurance, please select priority
mail. Add
desired albums to your cart and then purchase all at one time, so you
don't get charged separate shipping for each one. Enjoy listening! ****GRADING:
