Record is securely packed with care in a way that I like to receive my purchases.

Record ships in plastic protective sleeve, in cardboard record mailer with extra cardboard inserts for protection. 

I played this record on my Technics 1200 turntable. 

If you have a Crosley or other cheap/budget turntable, there is a chance that with this and every record the tone arm might bounce off.  

This is not a sign of a deficient record, this is an issue with the turntable. 

If you encounter this problem, a penny taped to the top of the head of your tone arm generally fixes that issue.

To get combined shipping, simply make reasonable offers on the items you want, and I will send a combined invoice.

If you only buy one item, you don't have to wait for the invoice to pay.
