Best Of Mountain – Mountain (Fold-out Single LP)

< Oasis Trading Post - Collectibles and Memorabilia Title - Best Of Mountain Artist - Mountain Fold-out Single LP Label - Columbia Stock - AL 32079 Released - 1973 Item # 701786 Cover - great Sleeve - fair, folded/ripped Album - great This album came from a collection that had been in storage for over 20 years. It is possible that any given piece from that collection could have a slight musty smell, thought these albums have been airing out in our office for about 6 months. What is the condition of this record album and this album cover? That is always the main question, when you are buying used albums. Please review my Definitions below. For the most part, I'm just trying to categorize these albums and covers, not grade them. I cannot listen to every album, of course, and even a pristine, new album can have pops or skips. All photos are the actual items you will receive. If you see more than one listing for a particular title, each listing is for the copy of the item that is shown in the photo. Record albums will be shipped via inexpensive Media Mail, in a sturdy album mailer. Sorry, no international shipping for this item! Record Album Definitions First and foremost, a disclaimer - these definitions are guidelines, and they are just one person's opinion. When I categorize these albums, I consider the source, the overall condition of the albums in a collection, other albums that are on-hand, and my many years of experience with vinyl (I've been buying, playing and selling records, on and off, since the late 60s). There is no guarantee that you will judge any given record album exactly the same way that I judged it. Covers Great It doesn't take much for me to consider a shiny new album cover to only be "very good", but a really nice cover from the 50s and 60s with no damage or wear will still be "great". Very Good Shows minor use or wear on the corners or the edge that opens. Very little wear on the front and back. Always a nice, well-taken-care-of cover. Good An average, typical album cover. Might have some obvious wear along the edges or the spine. Typical "circular" wear on the front and back. Could have some writing on it. Fair A lot of wear, might have torn edges or spine, ugly writing, etc. How did the album survive? Poor Falling apart. Technically, it's not an album cover anymore. Sleeves Great Sharp, crisp, looks like it did when it was new. In general, there's a slight difference between "new" and "like new", but both will fall into this category. Very Good Clean, nice, but shows some use. Should have good colors, pretty good corners, no major wear. Might have slight marking or writing. Good Shows some wear, might have a crumpled corner, slight spine wear or separation, a lot of writing, etc. Looks used, but no major damage. Fair Shows serious wear, such as a worn edge, slight separation, tears, etc., but still usable. Poor Terrible, should have been replaced long ago. Usually, it's a neat old sleeve from the 50s or 60s that somebody just couldn't bear to throw away. None There was no sleeve, or it was so bad that we DID throw it away. If we have any generic sleeves on-hand, we will always supply one. Albums Great This is where I am the most picky. A "great" album has to look like it is brand new or "like new". Shiny, no scratches, no obvious handling. I can't play every album to be sure it's great, so it really must LOOK great, for me to call it "great". Very Good Shows minor handling or fingerprints, but no obvious signs of wear or scratches. A really nice looking album, but not quite "like new". Good A nice, typical album, might have small scratches or smears on it, or writing on the label. Fair Most often, this would be considered a "worn" album. Poor Worse than "worn", this album would most likely only be a place-holder in a collection. Shipping Options Please note eBay's shipping category descriptions - USPS Ground Advantage (formerly First Class Mail) is called "standard shipping", Priority Mail and Express Mail are both called "expedited shipping", and Media Mail (when available) is called "economy shipping". Delivery times and costs for these services can vary greatly. Most US orders are sent via USPS Ground Advantage (formerly First Class Mail), in a padded envelope or small box. We also use USPS Priority Mail, FedEx Ground, or UPS Ground, depending on the size or value of the package and your location. All packages include a tracking number. We prefer to use eBay's Global Shipping Program for international packages, because eBay automatically includes their own insurance and delivery guarantee offers, but we also ship international orders directly, as needed. When making an international purchase that will not be sent via the Global Shipping Program, we must remove that option from the listings BEFORE you purchase them. There are no universal rules for international shipping. VAT or other import/customs fees will often be collected by eBay when you purchase your items, but not in all situations. We will use UPS, FedEx or other private shipping companies when appropriate. Every package has a domestic tracking number and an international tracking number. All international packages will include the required customs forms and declarations, which will state the actual amount of your purchase. Please do not ask us to alter the purchase amount shown on the customs forms, because that is a criminal act. All import fees, taxes, and duties are the responsibility of the buyer, and are NOT included in our shipping charges. We recognize that different circumstances can mandate different shipping needs and arrangements, and we will make all reasonable attempts to accommodate every customer. Depending on the size, weight, and value of your purchase, there are often many shipping choices available.
