if you are interested in this sort of item (but not this particular item), I have at least 2 dozen more of these demo/promo Classical LP's by EPIC & Columbia currently for auction. Hundreds more fixed price Long-Players of every musical genre await your perusal in the  r e t r Ø g e n i c  store, where you can also find many other cultural obscurities, fascinating tchotchkes, & other authentic and life-changing objects (in my biased opinion).
and please message me with any questions

10:

is unopened and/or looks fairly untouched ("M").

9:

vinyl appears fairly pristine, might have a few insignificant marks which should not affect play appreciably. Cover might show slight signs of handling or age (similar to "M-" or "EX+").

8:

has some scattered light marks on otherwise glossy vinyl which will likely produce minor and/or infrequent noise. A very nice play, not perfect. Cover has some clear signs of handling and/or age and maybe a mild version of some of the defects listed under 6 below (similar to "VG+").

7:

will show many light marks and/or scuffs and/or scratches, some of which will definitely produce intermittent audible noise which will be heard through the music to varying degree. Vinyl may be somewhat dull. A fairly decent but flawed play. Cover shows a combination of mild to moderate symptoms of the defects listed under 6 below (similar to "VG").

6:

shows general wear on vinyl including loss of lustre and scuffs and scratching. It is assumed that many of these marks will produce frequent audible noise which can be heard easily through the music. Overall this is an obviously flawed but still somewhat enjoyable play. Cover will show some or all of the following defects to varying degree: edge wear/scaling, seam splits, ring wear/rub, bent corners, creases, graphic blemishes, stickers present and/or removed (similar to "VG-" or "G+").

5:

will show general significant scuffing and scratching on vinyl, with easily audible noise almost throughout. Cover shows many aggravated symptoms of the defects listed under 6 above. 5 is the lowest I will sell for LP's, and only in cases of special interest or rarity. I do sell 45's in this condition and less (similar to "G").

other important seller info:
r e t r 0 g e n i c is a veteran eBay seller with years of experience dating back to the earliest days of this Century. Initially specializing in Vinyl (records of all types), this seller's focus and efforts have expanded to include Shoes & Clothing, usually in the 'Vintage' category, and almost by necessity to creating and maintaining a vast and eclectic library of LEGO parts, so as to purge the huge bulk of which was accumulated during this seller's tenure at that esteemed Danish Dynasty. Regardless of the particular type of item, the best attempt will be made in all listings to document it thoroughly, both verbally and photographically, so that prospective buyers can make informed decisions about bidding / buying. Subjective assessments are avoided when possible, or are made self-evident. Ideally the photographs and known objective facts will supply the bulk of the relevant info. Photos in listings are generally not altered or edited, but if so only to the extent that is required to increase accuracy; e.g. the tweaking of color balance and/or contrast and/or brightness. Photos included in each single-item listing depict the actual item being sold, with the exception of any stock or auto-filled photo which might be inserted by eBay. And of interest to the LEGO enthusiasts, the photos included in listings for items in Lots or in Bulk with multiple quantities available will depict one Lot or Part of many available, but are typical or representative of all Lots/Parts. Any prospective bidder should review this seller's feedback page and bid with confidence, as many hundreds of other satisfied and often repeat eBay customers have done since early Y2K. If you have further questions about anything, PLEASE ASK! Thanks for looking (and reading)!
