Description
What It Is: This is the 2 lp White Album as reissued in Japan in 1982 on beautiful translucent red vinyl -- with the rare mono mix.
I assume that I don't have to talk about the music on this album, so let's get right to this specific copy...
The good news: the jacket has no ring wear, though I'll call it VG++ for just a little wear if you look very closely -- the front and back are nicely glossy. The four pictures of the boys are clean and crisp. The fold-out poster is clean, uncreased, and seemingly hardly ever opened. The Japanese lyric sheet is also clean and uncreased. The vinyl shows no spindle marks.
The bad news: there is no OBI. The vinyl plays with some tics and surface noise, during the lead-in groove and between songs (I'm going to rate it VG+).
Personally, I've upgraded to a better copy, because these red vinyl mono reissues should play without surface noise. As I mentioned above, there are no spindle marks, and the surface looks beautiful. I can't explain why this one is a little noisy. Back to the good side, there is no groove distortion anywhere on the record, so it isn't from being played with a bad stylus / misaligned cartridge.
All I can say is that perhaps this will be the budget copy that allows you to get one of these remarkable reissues without having to spend top dollar.

Grading:
All items are visually graded, and if they've been play graded that will be noted. I follow Goldmine grading standards. My grading is conservative, at least as good as I would expect from anyone that I would buy from.Payment:
I accept PayPal, money orders, or personal checks. Personal checks must clear before I ship. If you must return the item, it must be in the same condition that I sent it, but I will refund your full purchase price and return shipping cost within the USA (outside of the USA, I'll refund the bid price, but you must pay for return shipping unless I've made a serious error, in which case I'll pay shipping too) -- I guarantee your satisfaction.Shipping cost and Insurance:
Within the USA: I ship via USPS Priority mail (please let me know if you require something else). The shipping cost for this item (within the continental US) will be $9 for priority mail, and $3 for media mail. As always, if your winning bid is above $50, I will pay for insurance.Outside of the USA: I'm willing to ship outside of the USA, but given the logistics, the terms are a little different than USA sales. Shipping cost will be determined based on the winner's address and size and weight of the package. I usually insist on airmail for reasonable delivery time and better handling. I'll try to state the shipping size and weight in the ad so that you'll have an idea of cost, though final determination of shipping cost will occur then the auction completes. Unfortunately I can't offer free insurance as it often gets quite expensive for overseas shipment, however, I strongly advise that you select insurance as I cannot be responsible for delivery in another country.
Thanks for bidding!
