CONDITION / GRADE : Vinyl:

(see below)
Cover:
strong VG-
(plain new sleeve)
RECORD IS RARE. THAT SAID, I'M LISTING THIS RECORD AS IS. I'VE LISTENED TO BOTH SIDES. THE VINYL HAS A POINT WARP AT EDGE, SETTING THE NEEDLE IN ON SIDE 1 IS NEEDED, IT WILL PLAY FROM INTRO ALL THE WAY THROUGH. SIDE 2 HAS THE WARP 'UP' WHICH CAUSES NEEDLE TO JUMP THE FIRST 20-30 SECONDS, AFTER THAT RECORD PLAYS FINE… 
COVER IS IN AVERAGE TO VG- CONDITION. MULTIPLE SPLITS AND SO FORTH. LIGHT SIGNS OF HANDLING OVERALL. THE MANY PICTURES HERE SHOW THE RECORD WELL. 
AGAIN, THIS RECORD HAS ISSUES ON THE START OF SIDE 2 PLAY BUT PLAYS THROUGH ONCE THAT 20-30 SECOND SECTION IS OVER AND THEN THE NEEDLE SETTLES IN FINE TO PLAY THE REST OF THE RECORD WITH NO ISSUES. THE PLAY CLIPS INCLUDED BELOW ARE OF THE ENTIRE SIDE 1 AND SIDE 2 PLAYING, RESPECTIVELY.

HARD TO FIND THIS PRESSING. LISTED IN SAID CONDITION DUE TO RARITY.
Please hear the clips below!
Cleaned on a 16.5 VPI machine and fully play graded on a Pioneer PL-530 turntable.

GRADING:
I use Goldmine’s grading system and am quite conservative when assessing condition.
    SS = Still Sealed
any defects will be listed and/or photographed to complete the description

   NM- = Near Mint Minus
just short of perfect - acceptable defects would include a hairline mark not detectable to the touch and not affecting playback, background noise is nearly silent

   VG++ (EX) = Very Good Plus Plus
most records I will list fall under this grade, just short of NM- but may have a mark or contact wear to the label to grade it slightly lower, maybe a drill hole or saw cut, maybe a mark or name written on the label lightly, sound is still great, loud and near perfect, cover may have slight edge or corner wear, maybe slight ring wear

   VG+ = Very Good Plus
a great record, sound is high quality though may have a few pops or clicks, overall very nice looking vinyl possibly with light marks & scuffs, labels may have a name or mark on them, possible light contact wear to the label, covers may have a small split but not large or gaping, edge wear on cover may show more than slight, may be a mark on cover

  VG = Very Good
only records I will list with this grade would be rather rare or of higher book value, meant to sell as a filler until a better record comes along, vinyl may have feel-able marks but should play through without skipping, pops or clicks may be louder than usual, may have marks or wear on the label, cover may have open splits, wear on print, may have marks or other very apparent defects (all will be stated in description either by type or in the pictures)




SHIPPING PROCESS AND PACKAGING :
All records are packaged tight for safe shipping. Vinyl is shipped outside the original sleeve in a separate, often new sleeve. I custom package every record with plenty of padding. 
45’s will be cardboard padded on both sides, then custom boxed. Every box is taped well and marked fragile, double taped at corners.
LP records ship outside their covers and sleeves to prevent damage. A custom box is built, and the resulting box is then taped well, marked fragile and double taped at corners.
78’s are first packaged between two pieces of 11” cardboard, taped well, then bubble wrapped. Additional bubble wrap is then laid out with void fill laid down, then the record sandwich followed by more void fill. This eventually makes a 4 to 5” bubblewrap ‘pillow’ which is then custom boxed, taped well, marked fragile and then double taped at the corners.
