Description: Artist & Album Title: D.A.F. Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft Für Immer Label (printed on album): 1982 Virgin Records. OVED82. Made in Great Britain. Record Grading: NM. Pristine Mirror-shiny flat (no scratches/scuffs when looking into a light). Cover Grading: NM-. Glossy-shiny flat. Made in United Kingdom stick on back. Insignificant corner/edge wear from years of shelf storage. Record Gradings: To my best & 100% honest ability, these album grading’s (per Goldmine website) fall in to these ranges. I look into a light for scratches/scuffs and set the LP down to check for any warpage. The last time I listened to my LP’s was in 1998 and they played well. I have a Bang-Olufsen Turntable, changed expensive diamond needles every few years, and balanced the clean needle that allowed for the absolute minimal force on a record groove. I sell my LP’s as is since I cannot control differences in other’s turntables/needle care or performance. Record History & Storage Care: I no longer listen to my vinyl records and decided to sell my entire personal collection. Very hard decision for me. I started collecting records 1973. 95% of all my records were purchased NEW from Korvettes, Hudsons, Dearborn Music, Repeat the Beat, Record Outlet, Tower Records, or Schoolkid Records (all in the Detroit/Ann Arbor area). For over 40 years, my records have been stored on a vertical shelving unit. Whatever outside cover wear exists, it is from sliding the records in/out from storage. They have never been stored in an attic. Record Care-Handling-Selling Criteria: My life’s record care was immaculate and I never touched any of my record grooves. I’ve always handled my albums with my right thumb on the record edge and my fingers by the center hole. Whenever I did listen to my albums, I used the Discwasher Record Care System. I never stacked record-on-record, and always put the vinyl back into its sleeve after listening to it. Packaging & Shipping: I make my own sturdy cardboard shipping packages & place the record(s) in large oversized acid-free sleeves/bags, and also wrapped in paper with 2 additional cardboard panels. I seal & protect the package with several layers of industrial tape, and highlight orange “DO NOT BEND” on the package. Shipment Carrier & Postage: USPS Domestic and Canada only. International Postage and S&H TBD based on weight and/or area. Payment: PayPal only within 3 days of winning (unless contacted with answer before auction ends). Returns/Refunds: None, unless item is different than shown (since once it’s delivered, I no longer have control on its handling & condition). My description is as honest as possible (I have a 100% feedback rating). Problems: Before leaving any neutral/negative feedback, please contact me and I’ll attempt to resolve. Buyer Feedback: If you have a feedback rating of 97% or lower, or have zero feedback entries, Bidder must contact me prior to bidding. My Feedback: My goal is to ALWAYS leave mutual positive feedback. Thanks for taking the time in viewing my auction.
