I will be on Holiday for several days during the end of May, 2008. I will notify winning bidders of dates I will be gone, so please expect shipments to be sent late if payments are not received prior to my departure. Payments arriving while I'm on Holiday will draw my full attention immediately upon my return. Thank you.

Twelve classic hit singles by the 1980's popular vocalist and 1984 Best new Artist Grammy award winner Cyndi Lauper. Visually graded, most are near mint in appearance with clean labels and appear to be original issues. The seven picture sleeve covers are all vg+ to mostly near mint. Some of the titles are True Colors, Girls Just Want To Have Fun, Money Changes Everything, Change Of Heart, All Through The Night, She Bop and more.

RECORD GRADING FOR 45'S
Bargain lot items are visually graded. Individual auction records are play graded. I place emphasis on play grade, maintain the highest professional standards, do spot check play grading on all individual auction items and always provide an accurate visual grade and label appearance. I play grade on a quality system with a high end cartridge in order to maintain a strict and undisguised play grade. I always keep my grading simple and fair and will not subject my customers to a proliferation of meaningless grades. If a record plays between two grades I always apply the lesser grade, I don't create a grade in an attempt to articulate a borderline evaluation.

nm....near mint, minimal to no surface noise and showing no major signs of wear. General groove appearance is excellent to like new and record has no imperfections. I have learned from over 30 years of experience that "mint" is too strong of a grading for a used 45 record evaluation. The only records that are entitled a "mint" grade on my listings are my new unplayed and unhandled store stock items.
vg+...very good plus, showing some signs of minor wear with minimal extraneous surface noise. No major imperfections. Grooves may have minor scuffs or surface scratches. A very playable and acceptable copy.
vg....very good, somewhat worn and mishandled copy with audible extraneous surface noise. Grooves may have visual scuffs and scratches. Still a very playable copy.
I do not auction poor condition 45's with cracks, deep scratches, digs, severe edge chips, closed grooves or severely warped and I do not artificially gloss any of my records.
