SUPER SOUNDS PERFECT PRICE

Whybuy from us? We love, enjoy and have collected LPsfor over 50 years now.We have sold records internationally for over 35years. We have sold on since 1998. Our response rating is excellent. Over90% of our customers are repeat buyers. We pride ourselves on superb customerservice, accurate product descriptions, low sale starting prices, professional packaging using high-qualityshipping materials, and quick shipping.

Recordscan provide fantastic, state-of-the-art sound quality, however, just like allother formats, they are not a perfect medium: very few records play perfectly without any surfacenoise.

IF you\'re looking for perfection, we wish you the best of luck,but PLEASE LOOK ELSEWHERE.

Also, please note: ANYTHING GRADED LESS THANEXCELLENT WILL PLAY WITH MORE SURFACE NOISE.

How we grade: All LPs are graded visually, under careful inspection bycollector/dealers, with many years\' experience at LP evaluation. Some ofthe most sought-after (and/or more questionable-looking) LPs will beplay-graded on a fine 2-channel analogue system. IF the LP has beenplay-graded, that will be stated in the listing - - but in any case, all LPsare carefully scrutinized, and described to the best of our abilities. We dorealize, of course, that a visual estimation can be mistaken - - in thatunfortunate case, we plead humanity - - we are not perfect, either - - andoffer our apologies, in that hopefully-rare instance where this occurs.

We do not automaticallydown-grade an LP for paper-rubs or light scuffs - - only forscratches. It has been our experience that often-times a scuff orpaper-rub, or a discoloration in the vinyl might not sound at all. A furtherdistinction is made between feel-able scratches, and those light scratcheswhich are visible, but cannot be felt by careful, gentle probing. Any LP gradedABOVE the grade of VG should contain only non-feel-able scratches (IF any atall).If there is a feel-able scratch on an LP side, that side should begraded VG or lower.

RECORD JACKETS We do not assign letter-grades to record jackets, preferring,instead, to simply list any particular defects, OR merits, of a particularcover.Defects would include sticker-pulls, seam-splits, cut-out holes,browning, foxing, ring-wear, or discoloration of the cover, etc. IF, on theother hand, a cover is like-new in appearance, or still has the originalshrink-wrap, that, too might be mentioned.

INDIVIDUAL SIDES We DO assign grades to EACH INDIVIDUAL SIDE of an LP; when,however, the grade assigned to each side is the same, then you will see onlyONE letter-grade. When you see more than one grade given, with a slash-mark (/)between them (for example, E/- would signify that one side on an LP isexcellent, and the other, excellent-minus.

BOX SETS In the case of box sets, again, we grade EACH individual side:If you see, for example 6E/-/V+ for a grade, that would mean a four-record set,wherein six sides are graded excellent, one side, excellent-minus, and the lastone, VG+...and so on.

OUR GRADING SCALE:

FS (or sealed, or factory-sealed) A new LP, with the shrink-wrap never opened (PLEASENOTE): For this category only, we do not accept returns, if the LP has beenopened.

E (or Ex, or Exc) =Excellent This is our highest grade for a used LP. Such an LPhas been very well cared-for by a collector, and contains no scratches expectedto sound. Theoretically, an LP listed in this condition should contain no morethan (roughly) half-a-dozen ticks per side, often even better than somebrand-new discs play out.Our E grade is the equivalent of some otherdealers\' NM, or possibly others\' NM-minus, or yet others\' A.

E- (or E-minus, or Exc-minus) This signifies that theLP is still quite well cared-for, but may contain one or two VERY lightscratches, which are NOT expected to produce much surface-noise. This grade isroughly equivalent to some other dealers\' NM-minus, yet others\' NM-minus-minus,and yet others\', A-, or A-minus.

V+ (or VG+, or Very Good-Plus) An LPwhich is assigned this grade still is in VERY POSITIVE condition, with a fewmore light marks than an E-minus would have. A disc in this condition isexpected to have some light surface-noise, however it should not be expected tointerfere much with the enjoyment of the music for MOST collectors.Our V+is roughly equivalent to some dealers\' Exc-minus, some others\' NM minus-minus, yetothers\', B+.

PLEASE NOTE: Below the above level iswhere we would expect the amount of surface-noise to begin to bother mostcollectors. If you are bothered by ANY surface-noise, please do us, andyourself, a favor, and do not buy anything graded less than E (or lookelsewhere, for those fortunate individuals who have the time to listen to everysecond of every LP, and grade them accordingly).

V (or VG, or Very Good): This grade may (or maynot) contain one or two feel-able scratches. It is possible, however (best-casescenario) that such an LP might tick loudly for, perhaps, half a minute orless, and yet, the rest of the LP might play flawlessly. We would generally encourageonly those collectors who consider yourselves pretty tolerant of surface-noiseto pursue an LP in this condition. Our V is roughly equivalent to somedealers\' VG or VG-minus, and yet others\' B, or B-minus. You will notgenerally see us list records below this condition, unless they are very scarceand/or desirable.

In decreasing desirability,the remainder of our grading scale would be V- (or VG-, or Very Good minus), then G+, orGood-Plus, then G (or Good, which really ISN\'T so good (we didn\'t originatethis grading-system, by the way - - it has been in conventional use since theearly 1970s) G-minus, or Good-minus, F (or Fair) andfinally, P (or Poor) . If you seerecords listed in VG-minus or lower condition in our listings, they alldescribe what we consider to be just a stop-gap copy - - just so that thecollector can say that he DOES have a copy of the title...or, that he/she \"boughtit for the cover\".

One more noteabout grading: We do occasionally buy records for our own collectionsfrom , and have noted a trend among SOME of the dealers to list every discas being in VG+ condition. Many times we buy these, hoping that they meet ourown standards for that condition; some of them seem to have no audible defectsat all, but others turn out to be in execrable condition.Our advice is toGET TO KNOW YOUR DEALERS - - and their grading.We certainly hope you willfind our own to be as described, or better.

Import duties,taxes and fees are NOT included in the item price or shipping charges. Thesecharges are the buyer\'s responsibility. Please check with your country\'scustoms office to determine what, if any, these additional costs might be,prior to offerding.

Please do not ask us to alter valueson customs forms - this is a violation of rules and US federal law. TRUEVALUE must, and will, be stated on all expensive Priority Mail and Express Mailpackages for insurance purposes, and to comply with all US and Internationalshipping laws.

FOR OUR BUYERS FROM CANADA: First ClassInternational: Single LP, $16; Two single LPs, or one double LP gatefold, $20;Three single LPs: $24 (NOTE: More than three LPs must be shipped byPriority Mail International)

BUYERS WITHIN THE UNITED STATES: You have a choicebetween Media Mail, and Priority Mail:

Media Mail isslower and more economical; it is usually pretty prompt, but at times, it cantake several weeks to reach the west coast. This is especially true during thepeak shipping season, of late November through December. Media Mail packagescede priority to every other class of mail, and only travel when there is roomfor them - - on the other hand, sometimes one gets a surprise, and they arriveas fast as Priority - - though this is not the norm. Our single LP Media Mailrates are published in each listing. More LPs will be weighed, and charged accuratelyand accordingly. We automatically combine shipping and charge actual USPSshipping rates.

PRIORITYMAIL WITHIN THE US Weoffer an option to US buyers to upgrade to Priority Mail. These rates differ byzip code and zone. You can choose this option when paying, and your costs willbe calculated at check-out.

RETURNS: All Lps are described in good faith, to thebest of our ability, but if you are dissatisfied with your purchase from us, weaccept returns within thirty days of your receipt of the LP, no questions asked(with the exception of factory-sealed records, which we won’t accept once theyhave been opened).
