Bob Dylan Oh Mercy SEALED/PROMO Orig 1989 Canada LP

This is a rare Sealed Bob Dylan Oh Mercy promo LP which was shipped out as a promotional album in 1989. (Columbia Records - QC 45281)   This is not a "brand new" album or a re-issue, this is the original release album.  The vinyl is assumed Mint- to Mint as it has most of the shrink wrap still sealing the album cover opening. (see photo)  The cover is VG++ as it has a CBS promotional gold stamp on it.  I would have given the cover a higher rating but the shrink wrap is torn where they placed the CBS stamp on the cover and there is a small black discoloured mark above Dylan's photo on the back cover.  This LP is from my own personal collection.  I will ship this album in a custom sturdy cardboard mailer with an extra sheet of cardboard inside and I also place the album inside an archival acid-free resealable clear polypropylene bag to protect your investment.

I ship to Canada and the U.S. only.  Since each album is shipped in a 13 x 13 x 1 inch cardboard mailer, shipping is as follows: 

Shipping To U.S. (from Canada):

$18.18 - Expedited Parcel 4 to 5 business days (tracking number/insurance included)

Here are photos of the actual album:

Each album is graded using the Goldmine rating system as a guide with only a visual inspection of each album’s cover and vinyl.

MINT COVER:  Perfect condition! It looks like it has just left the manufacturer, with NO flaws what so ever. It looks as though it had never been handled. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains. No stickers address labels, writing on the covers or labels. No tears or seam splits. 

MINT VINYL:  Only a sealed album gets this rating as the vinyl is assumed to be in Mint condition. 

NEAR MINT COVER: The cover should look as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and or age. Minor impressions to the cover due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside.  The artwork should be as close to perfect as can be.

NEAR MINT VINYL:  Album should appear virtually flawless. A very unnoticeable minor scuff and very little else can appear on the vinyl. This will most likely have occurred during packaging or removing the record from the inner sleeve but had been handled with extreme care. When you listen to it, it should play without any noise over the flaw. The flaw should be very hard to see.

VG++ COVER: Artwork should still be as close to perfect as can be. Minor outer ring wear.  Slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye.  No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs.

VG++ VINYL: Minor scuffs are visible but only slightly. The wear should be minimal. No scratches.

VG+ COVER: A virtually clean cover, but may have small writing on it.  The artwork should look clean with slightly more aging. Some minor wear to the seams or spine, but no tears or holes popping through. The corners will be slightly dog eared yet no crackly bends, defacing the artwork.

VG+ VINYL: Shows some wear, surface scuffs and some very light scratches.

VG COVER: Some seam splitting, ring wear, writing on the cover and discoloration. 

VG VINYL:  Appears well played but still has some luster. The vinyl may be faded, slightly grayish, yet appears to have been handled as carefully as it could have been. Surface noise will be minor crackle or a slight hiss, but should only be heard in between tracks or in low musical passages.

G COVER/ G VINYL:  I don’t sell albums under this rating.
