GRADE & DESCRIPTION (RECORD): This one is not for the faint of heart.  Rare record, has seen some abuse.  Lots of light scratches, and some deep ones too that can be felt.  This is not the final copy.  Maybe you can get a good clean on it, can do some working on the feelers.  Understand this is more for the uniqueness of the record, not for the end game. I'm not trying to get rich off this one, but maybe you are able to salvage a collectors item. GRADE & DESCRIPTION (COVER): Check the photos here as well.  It has obvious wear, and seams are splitting.
Grading scale: Our Record Ratings   Factory Sealed    -      Still in original sealed wrap Near Mint             -      No blemishes whatsoever, nearly unplayed. I will almost never grade this if there is anything visible except under the brightest of lights, it will fall below Near Mint. Very Good+         -       A Record I would be happy with in my own personal collection. Records in this grade will have light sleeve marks,a very few/if any, light scratches ,minimal surface noise. Very Good           -       Records in this grade were well loved and well played but not abused. Will have more obvious marks, scratches. possibly light surface noise on the quiet tracks. Very Good-          -       Records in this grade will have many marks, scratches, will have background noise/ticks/pops, but not completely distracting. Good                    -       These records will definitely show wear and tear, occasional ticks/pops/skips. background noise will be evident, not a final copy to keep in the collection, but a place holder perhaps.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:   I am not a professional grader, I do however grade as conservatively and accurately as possible.  I'll often err on the side of VG+ instead of NM-, or VG instead of VG+. If something is graded as G, it has likely seen a lot of wear, and is not a keeper copy. Inspect the pictures closely, they are the best basis of condition, if you have any questions - please reach out to me.  All records are sold AS - IS, I strive for your satisfaction, if there are any issues or questions, please get in contact with me, I always want to try and make things right.
