VINYL IS VG+ - -  VERY HEAVY REAL VINYL WITH SEEN HAIR LINES AND SCUFFS VISIBLE . NO DEEP FELT SCRATCHES 

SUPERB SOUNDING RECORD THAT DOES HAVE SOME MINOR SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE ESPECIALLY BETWEEN TRACKS, BUT I PLAYED THIS LOUD, VERY LOUD, AND THE DYNAMICS, ESPECIALLY THE BASS, DRUMS AND GUITAR SOUND SUPERB. I OWN THE CD SET AND REALLY DOES NOT COMPARE TO THIS. UNLIKE THE STERILE CLEAN CD, THIS IS THE REAL THING, THIS LP HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED WELL FOR YEARS AND STILL RETAINS AN AMAZING SOUND

THIS IS A VERY NICE FIRST ISSUE COPY

NOTE: I HAVE NOT CLEANED THIS EXCEPT FOR A WIPE, SO WITH A GOOD CLEANING THIS RECORD WILL IMPROVE 

A GOOD LP TO OWN - NOT A MINT COPY BUT A LOVELY 1ST ISSUE THAT SOUNDS GREAT!

 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND FULLY GUARANTEED

 SLEEVE IS VG+- HEAVY WEIGHT US CARD  -REPAIRED SPLITS  - SMALL NAME WRITING ON BACK - SHOWS VIRTUALLY NO RING WEAR - HAS MINOR BUMPING ON EDGES  - HAS SMALL NORMAL WEAR  - HAS NO CUT OUT HOLES

VG+ COVER CONDITION OVERALL

How I Grade Condition Of Discs

Mint

This means I have owned it from new or purchased from a distributors warehouse, basically it means absolutely new shape, never been played or out of its dust cover. In the case of LP's, a North American album will have to be factory sealed (anyone can reseal an album!) Take Note: European and Japaneses albums were never shrink wrapped!

Note: Being mint does not guarantee it's free of pops and clicks, many pressings especially from the US were made with very poor vinyl and in a hurry which means often there are imperfections in the pressing. As a former importer, we were often given back brand new albums due to clicks heard in the playback.

Mint Minus - No such thing, it's either mint or not.

Excellent - A disc is super clean, with no visible marks

 Excellent Plus, means it's probably mint but can't be proven by me.

Excellent minus, is a disc that is excellent except it may have some markings that do not show up in the playing

VG - A disc that is STILL in good shape, WILL have some scuffs or scratches, not in excellent shape but well worth owning. VG + and ++,a disc that is that much better than VG.

VG minus, just a smidgen below VG

Good - A disc that can be played, has obvious ware but is worth owning, a DJ copy of a rare early Motown for instance or a rare Doo-Wop or Northern Soul which could still be worth a fortune, Good Minus & Good Plus is a step above or below Good. In most cases I will not offer a disc in this condition unless it's rare and hard to find.

LABELS

Labels do not alter the grading of vinyl; many records are Excellent, looked after by the previous owner but still have their initials or markings on the label. A DJ copy will often have markings to show which side to be plugged, or the length of the intro. Many labels and covers in the US have been punched, that was done by the record company to show the disc was deleted and shipped out to mass retailers to sell cheap and could not be returned for a credit, this does not impede the value, many records eg Swan and VJ Beatles were done like that, also many promo lp’s were punched or slit to show they were provided as promotion and not charged to the client and no royalties paid to the artist
