Bryan Adams - Cuts Like A Knife

A&M Records SP-6-4919 NM- beautiful record cover, vinyl and inner lyrics sleeve with picture..., only an unopened one would be in better shape, real nice collectors item...

Scans:

I have included the actual scans of the covers. While you only get 3/4 of the cover this way, it is a pain to take pictures and they never seem to come out right. Most of you know what the full cover looks like. The scans will show you that the covers are in very good shape. You will be pleased at the condition of these newly aquired records. Stored very well for the past 30 some odd years. If you have a question, please don't hesitate to ask...

About Grading:

Arguably the most frustrating part about buying and selling records. I started basing my gradings on the Goldmine standard, but I noticed there just wasn't enough wiggle room to do justice for some records, so I have added the +/- sign just as our grade school teachers did. I didn't think you could properly grade without it and I both play and visually grade all my records. Unless the record is an unusually hard to find record (I also think the word "rare" is used much to often on ebay, so I don't use it) I will not list any unplayable or less than visually aestetic record. That means you will be satisfied with the album when it arrives. Albums are packed in Cardboard mailers that were designed for shipping records.

NM  You won't see this very often, basically it means the record looks unplayed and the cover and sleeve look as if you had just brought it home from the store. It might or might not have the original shrink wrap and may even be unopened.

NM- This is the same as NM but may have some slight shelf wear to the bottom of the album cover. It might contain a few small blemishes but nothing that would detract from its overall look and or playability.

VG+ This rating might have some slight ring wear to cover a mark here or there. Gatefolds still in great shape and original sleeves may have a crease or two. There might be a scuff or two on the vinyl but nothing that will affect the playability and the overall astetics would still be very good.

VG Here you might find some additional blemishes such as punch holes, sleeve slits, brused corners, visable ring wear or even some light scratches, but again nothing that would affect playability unless otherwise stated in the discription.

VG- I leave this rating for those albums I just can't bear to throw out. I call them "a shame" records. There would be something noticably wrong with either the jacket, the sleeve or the vinyl or there might be multiple blemishes. These records do have something that's worth keeping. Either they are hard to find copies or they might have a playable vinyl but a rough cover either tapped or separated and/or heavy ring wear. I will describe the problems with these items in detail.

There are no other ratings, because everything else falls into the category of "trash" and is either donated or sold in yard sales by the box. Only records that I would keep in my personal collection would be sold on ebay (I do have a personal collection of close to 3000 records). All others items are discarded by other means and not posted on ebay.

Shipping Charges: are more than reasonable. They include the actual shipping charges plus the cost of materials (boxes, tape, labels, etc.). I send records & books via Media Mail and usually ship them the very next business day. Most records or books arrive in three to four days after payment is recieved unless you live in Alaska or Hawaii, in which case I suggest upgrading to Proprity Mail if you want to guarantee 2-3 days shipping days. please note: I don't run the United States Postal Service, but I pride myself on mailing items the next business day after your payment is recieved. Shipping to the lower 48 states is $4.00 for the first album and $.50 for each additional record. Canada $7.50 for the first album and $1.00 for each additional record. Europe $13.50 the first album and $1.50 for each additional record Asia $15.00 for the first album and $2.00 for each additional record. There are many different ways to ship things. If you want something shipped differently than listed, please contact me to make arrangements. Communication is the key to a good purchase on ebay. I am commited to save you money on shipping charges. Please check out my ebay store for additional records, books, CD's, DVD's and more for sale... There's something for everyone!

Returns: All items are described very well. I scan ever record cover. Please read the description and ask questions before you bid. There are no profits for either of us on returns, so all sales are final, so please ask any questions before you bid. You can however bid with confidence. I have been selling on ebay for nine years now. I am not a retail outlet store or a power seller. I just enjoy buying and selling on ebay. Please check out my feedback comments from buyers and my feedback rating. You will not be disappointed. Here is a note I received from a recent buyer. It is a common theme among buyers and I try to give everyone the same quality service:

I received your book on Monday just as you said.  Was well pleased with the book as well as how fast it was shipped.  I was also pleased with how quickly your response to my email was.  I left you a great star rating and positive feedback.  I also put you on my favorite sellers list.  I hope you will leave me some good ratings and good feedback as well.  Thanks again for everything. 

Best Regards, Pat
