Description
VINYL
Side 1: Looks and plays Mint with no surface static. Dead wax has HTM initials (see description)
Side 2: same as side 1 (without HTM)
LABELS
Side 1: Mint exactly as shipped
Side 2: same as side 1
COVER: G&L cover is Mint- overall, although many collectors would call it Mint. It has solid seams and spine and no ring wear.
INNER: archival inner
DESCRIPTION: Since I'm the original owner, this copy is still in superb condition and has never seen a fingerprint. I purchased it when I worked at Tower Records in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The initials HTM in the dead wax refers to that side being mastered by the legendary Harry T. Moss and should be essentially the same as a first pressing.

_______________________________
I began buying records in the mid 60’s and I've always been fanatical about record care and storage.
The records I sell are from my personal collection, including backup copies. I've never been one to buy VG records or anything with an audible scratch, which eliminates the vast majority. If I do miss an audible flaw, then kindly contact me and it will be rectified.
I use standard US grading plus the UK grade of EX in order to eliminate the dreaded VG+++
Records are first inspected under a halogen light (the only light that shows every flaw) and any blemishes are examined with a 10x power magnifier which allows the grooves to be fully inspected. Then they’re play graded on a Linn Sondek LP12.
Over the decades, I've seen grading fads come and go, such as: “visual” grading by people who don't own a turntable; the current use of nonsense grades like NM+ and NM- as well as the dubious belief that there’s no such thing as a mint record.
As a record buyer, I've had a lot of over graded “garage sale” LPs arrive covered with gritty dust and greasy fingerprints while the seller claims a “visual” grade based on fantasy. Be assured that my records will arrive clean and fingerprint free.
