Description
HARD TO FIND! THE CRYSTALS ~ TWIST UPTOWN ~ BLUE LABEL PHLP-4000 MONO! THE LP HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED AND IT HAS A VERY NICE SHEEN, BUT I AM GRADING THIS A VG-. I PLAYED IT TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE NOT ANY SKIPS, BUT THERE ARE SCRATCHES ON THIS RECORD. MAYBE BECAUSE OF THE DEEP GROOVE AND THE FACT THAT THIS IS A VERY HEAVY RECORD, IT PLAYS THROUGH. THERE ARE SOME POPS IN IT. THE COVER, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURE IS BEAUTIFUL! NO RING WEAR ON THE FRONT. ONLY SOME EVER SO SLIGHTLY BANGED-UP CORNERS. NO SEAM SPLITS. THE BACK OF THE COVER HAS A COUPLE MARKS, MAYBE SPLASHED WATER. WE TOOK CLOSE-UPS SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT I'M SPEAKING OF. THE MARKS DID NOT GO THROUGH THE COVER THEY ARE ONLY SURFACE MARKS. I TRY TO BE PICKY WHEN DESCRIBING MY AUCTIONS. ALSO, YOU WILL SEE SOME WHITE MARKS THAT ARE CAUSED BY THE FLASH ON THE CAMERA - WE TRIED WITHOUT A FLASH, BUT THESE PICS CAME OUT BEST. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE EMAIL. THANKS FOR LOOKING.
GRADING!
GRADING IS BASED ON GOLDMINE'S GRADING SYSTEM. I AM CONSERVATIVE WHEN GRADING MY ALBUMS AND I TRY TO BE OBJECTIVE IN DOING SO. MOST OF THE ALBUMS OFFERED FOR BID COME FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION WHILE OTHERS COME FROM OTHER COLLECTIONS.
MINT: (M); ABSOLUTELY PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. CERTAINLY NEVER PLAYED AND PERHAPS STILL IN THE ORIGINAL WRAPPING.
NEAR MINT: (NM); A NEARLY PERFECT RECORD AND ALBUM COVER. THE RECORD SHOULD SHOW NO OBVIOUS SIGNS OF WEAR. THE ALBUM COVER SHOULD HAVE NO CREASES, FOLDS, SEAM SPLITS, WRITING, TAPE OR OTHER NOTICEABLE DEFECTS, INCLUDING CUT-OUT HOLES. BASICALLY, AN ALBUM IN NEAR MINT CONDITION SHOULD LOOK AS IF IT WAS JUST PURCHASED FROM A RECORD STORE AND REMOVED FROM THE ORIGINAL WRAPPING.
VERY GOOD+: (VG+); A VERY GOOD PLUS WILL SHOW SOME SIGNS OF USE AND THAT IT WAS PLAYED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER WHO TOOK CARE OF IT. RECORD SURFACES MAY SHOW SOME SIGNS OF WEAR AND ALSO MAY HAVE SOME SLIGHT SCUFFS OR SCRATCHES THAT DO NOT AFFECT ONE'S LISTENING EXPERIENCE. SLIGHT WARPS THAT DO NOT AFFECT THE SOUND IS OK. THE LABELS MAY HAVE SOME RINGWEAR OR DISCOLORATION, BUT THEY SHOULD BARELY BE NOTICEABLE. THE CENTER HOLE WILL NOT BE MISSHAPEN BY REPEATED PLAY. THE ALBUM COVER MAY HAVE SLIGHT SIGNS OF WEAR AND ALSO MAY BE MARRED BY A CUT-OUT HOLE, INDENTATION OR CORNER INDICATING IT WAS TAKEN OUT OF PRINT. A VERY GOOD PLUS RECORD IS HIGHLY ACCEPTABLE AND DESIRABLE.
VERY GOOD (VG): SURFACE NOISE WILL BE EVIDENT UPON PLAYING, ESPECIALLY IN SOFT PASSAGES AND DURING A SONGS INTRO AND FADE. LABELS MAY BE MARRED BY WRITING OR HAVE TAPE OR STICKERS ATTACHED. THE SAME WILL BE TRUE WITH ALBUM COVERS. TAPED SEAMS MAY BE COMMON.
GOOD PLUS: (G+) OR GOOD: (G). I RARELY DEAL WITH THIS CATEGORY. THESE RECORDS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FILLERS.
