THIS IS NOT A 180g REISSUE. 

RECORD: NM.

LABELS: CLEAN. 

GATEFOLD JACKET: E, SMALL SPLIT IN THE CENTER OF THE TOP SEAM (BACK GATE).

USA services combined postage will add $1 per every additional LP won.

Canada First Class will add $2 for same,

All other International will add $4 USD per each additional LP won.

• Confirmed address delivery is mandatory with tracking whenever PayPal is used for payment. This means NO international first class mail excepting Canada. Should a buyer from outside North America suggest an appropriate alternate payment method so as to request the lesser "First Class" rate ($12 to $16 USD depending on destination), I would comply without hesitation.  
• Furthermore, every international buyer is entirely responsible for all taxes, tariffs, and any other fees associated with importing and customs. I will not mark as a "gift."

M, MINT

Absolutely perfect in every way - certainly never played, possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all.

NM, NEAR MINT

A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record shows no obvious sign of wear. A 45 rpm sleeve has no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling. An LP jacket has no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar defect. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same is true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, and the like. Basically, Near Mint looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.

E (EXCELLENT)

Others might call it VG++ or NM-. Indicates a superior shine accompanied by a small number of paper-scuffs and/or hairline scratches. Play will still be most excellent.

VG+,
                          VERY GOOD +
                          (Also EXCELLENT)

Shows some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but is should be barely noticeable. The center hole is not misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turn-up corners, or a slight seam-split. An LP jacket my have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.

VG,
                          VERY GOOD

Many of the defects found in a VG+ record are more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during the song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.

G / G+
                          GOOD / GOOD PLUS

Good does not mean bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear. A jacket or sleeve has seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. If it's a common item, you'll probably find another copy in better shape eventually. Pass it up. But if it's something you have been seeking for years, and the price is right, get it.
