Description
VINYL
Side 1: a few ultra faint inner sleeve lines seen under halogen light: visually very close to Mint, but I'll grade it M- Playback is Mint, including "Michelle"
Side 2: just a couple more inner sleeve lines, so visually EX+. Plays Mint- due to a couple of ticks in the fourth gap (gap only, not in the music) and two light ticks in the final fadeout of the last song. Very minor.
LABELS
Side 1: Mint with no spindle marks
Side 2: same as side 1
COVER
Front: solid seams and spine, some minor ring wear and small rubs, lower right corner slightly bumped
Back: minor ring wear, a few odd pin pricks in lower left, previous owner's name in ink
INNER: original inner with 3 short splits (bottom and sides) will also come with an archival inner
DESCRIPTION: a very respectable copy, when I bought it used, it came with a cover that was completely trashed which was odd since the disc is so nice. This is a replacement cover.

_______________________________
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.
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.
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.
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.
If I do miss an audible flaw, then kindly contact me and it will be rectified.
