Description
360 Degrees of Billy Paul on Philadelphia International Records KZ 31793
U.S. 1st pressing in super clean condition. The vinyl has no issues, looks like new,
basically it just blew me away how good it sounds -not sure what else to say about it, overall it seems unplayed.
The cover is a really nice NM, the shrink and store sticker are still attached. The shrink has a section coming separated at the open end, but is still fully attached. The original lyric sheet is included and in great shape.
The original inner is a solid plain white type that is in great shape, overall a killer top copy!
If you need more info please just ask.
Will be packaged properly: well padded with records outside of cover and in new anti-stat sleeves, so it all arrives in great shape.
Shipping domestically via USPS media mail w/tracking.
I do a combined shipping discount: 2 for the price of shipping one lp adding a dollar for every lp thereafter ($4 dollars for 1 or 2, $5 for 3, etc.).
On domestic purchases only.
Will ship worldwide, check the shipping calculator for cost.
some places I do not ship to.
If there is an issue with something, I aim to make it right, please ask any questions if you have any.
Grading Reference
M(MINT) Perfection, no flaws, defects, marks or otherwise indications of being handled or played. Has a glossy, new like sheen (some pressings are glossier than others though). Hairline marks or otherwise disqualify discs from this category. Labels, cover and inners are like new.
M-, or NM The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, these often come on new mint records -but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible surface or groove noise. The label is bright, clean and unmarked. Covers, etc are still like new save for extremely small and few signs of handling.
VG++ or EX(Excellent!)(VERY GOOD ++) This is a broad grade that covers items that are obviously almost NM and better than VG+ (VG+ used to be an excellent grade range covering discs that approach NM in condition but with signs of handling in varying degrees. Some local shops still use it this way but online VG+ typically means marked up but playable which to me means VG). excellent or VG++ Discs play perfectly or near enough to not warrant a downgrade. May have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a hairline mark or two but nothing feelable or affecting play. Vinyl has full gloss, label is clean and virtually unmarked possibly showing a light spindle mark or two. Covers and inner sleeves likewise are in extremely nice shape save for minimal flaws.
VG+(VERY GOOD PLUS) Some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs (if any can be felt with a fingernail in this grade they would be very small with little impact save for a handful of light tics at this grade), but minimal impact on the sound quality. Vinyl will still have decent luster; labels may have minor imperfections but otherwise clean. Covers etc. are intact, clean and in relatively nice shape allowing for typical wear with maybe some small splits and very minimal negatives, but still very presentable.
VG(VERY GOOD) Vinyl will have noticeable marks, scratches or scuffs that cause minor surface noise, but do not overpower the music. Feelable marks if any should be minimal and not interfere with play save for some light ticks -anything fitting that description would get a lesser grade depending on the impact of the mark balanced against the condition of the rest of the disc. There will be no skips or sticking. Vinyl may have a diminished sheen (less gloss). Labels may have small tears, tape marks, writing, etc. but still easily legible. Covers etc. May have a combination of ring wear, shelf wear
and or splits to varying degrees, flawed but still presentable. A VG- is less presentable as a cover with some more significant flaws, the VG- record likewise shows much more of the play condition issues as above and may exhibit noisier play issues.
G(GOOD) Well-played, dull sheen, with many or possibly deep scratches and wear causing distracting surface noise (hisses, pops, cracks and other nasties). The record will still play through without any skips. Labels and Covers at this grade show much more wear, such as water damage etc..
Varying degrees of more damage to covers and records after this fall into fair and then poor grades.
Grading is done per Goldmine/U.S. standards which are pretty much in line with what Ebay has as a standard.
I grade conservatively but when I use 'EX', I try to use it to actually mean EXCELLENT.
