Vinyl: Drifters Rockin' & Driftin Atlantic LP VG+ mono VG+ cover orig inner sleeve 1958

Artist: The Drifters

Title: Rockin' & Driftin'

Label/Number: Atlantic 8022 (M )

Jacket condition: VG+ Record condition: VG+ Notes: The cover is in pretty nice condition with some light ring wear and some minor seam and corner wear. The original owner wrote his name in ink on the top of the back cover. The labels are original black and silver versions and are in nice condition with a few light spindle marks. The vinyl is bright and glossy with some light surface scratches that lead me to grade it down some to VG+. As an added bonus the record is still contained in its original Atlantic 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, d omestic 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.
