Artist: The Yardbirds

Title: Having a Rave Up with the Yardbirds

Label/Number:  Epic BN-26177 (S)

Jacket condition: NM

Record condition: NM

Notes: As noted, the cover is still in its original shrink wrap and, as such, is in NM condition. The shrink does have a couple of small tears but nothing that has affected the condition of the cover. There is a small "cut corner' on the bottom left and an "Electronically Re-recorded to Simulate Stereo" sticker on the top left corner. The labels are in nice condition with no flaws of note. The vinyl is bright and glossy and shows no signs of wear. As an added bonus the record is still contained in its Epic inner sleeve. 

Grading: Grading is usually only visual for VG+ or better items, although if time allows I may play to verify the quality of a pressing or just to hear the music. VG items are usually only listed if they are fairly hard-to-find items and are always play graded. Regardless of the grade, if I do play the LP, I note the results in the item description. I use Goldmine standards with Ebay's EX grade added for items NOT QUITE up to NM.

Please read the notes above as I try to note anything that might influence the grading one way or another. I try to be conservative and grade as though I were buying the record and hope my feedback speaks well for my grading. Mono (M) or Stereo (S) is noted after catalog number. Don't hesitate to e-mail questions.   

Mailing and costs: For LP's with a starting bid under $20.00, domestic shipping is via USPS, media mail with delivery confirmation. For LP's starting at $20.00 or more, shipping is via USPS Ground Advantage. I ship in cardboard mailers made specifically for records with additional cardboard pads for added protection. Shipping charges for Media Mail are a flat $5.00. Shipping charges for Ground Advantage are $6.00. Ground Advantage is usually a little faster and, more importantly provides insurance protection up to $100.00. There is no additional charge for up to 2 more LP's. After that there's an addtional $1.00  per additional LP.

Overseas shipping is via USPS First Class Mail International. Cost will be as calculated based upon destination.

I always mail in a poly sleeve with the record outside the jacket. If there's an original inner sleeve I also remove the record from that and put it in a plain sleeve for mailing. That way, there are no seam splits on either the jacket or the sleeve due to any handling in the mail. 

I'm always happy to combine shipping costs for multiple purchases.
