Lot of 4 LP Records

Record Condition: VG

Details:

Lot of 4 average condition Deep Purple record albums. All records cleaned and visually inspected. Records are in VG condition (except Burn, see details below) based on grading criteria listed below. Lot includes all records as pictured.

1. Fireball (Warner Brothers Green Label Release). Visually inspected. Noted a small defect (small impression) near the outer edge (Track 1 on both sides). Played Track 1 on both sides and noted one brief skip on S1/T1. S2/T1 plays with out issue. Otherwise, visually there are few surface markings on either side. Looks to be a VG+ condition LP. Due to defect, downgrading this to a VG condition record. Gatefold Cover: Average condition (VG) with basic wear and tear  (notable ring wear on cover). Inner gatefold colour/condition look good as shown, no issues. Inner sleeve: Not significant.

2. Stormbringer; NOTE: Only one side of LP is Deep Purple as this is a partial set of songs selected for the American Forces Radio and Television (AFRTS Release) record. Other side of LP is a set of songs from Shawn Phillips (see photo). Visually inspected. Deep Purple Side: Few surface markings, well above average looking album side. I grade this as a VG+ (Near EX) condition album side.  Shawn Phillips Side: Some light surface markings, slightly above average looking album side. I grade this as a VG (Near VG+) condition album side. Cover: Missing and not included in this listing. Inner sleeve: Not significant.

3. Made in Japan (Warner Brothers Release LP1 Only; LP2 is missing and not included in this listing). Visually inspected. Some light surface markings both sides. Slightly above average looking record. I grade this as a VG (Near VG+) condition record. Gatefold Cover: Average condition (VG) with basic wear and tear. Inner gatefold colour/condition look good as shwon. Inner sleeve: Warner Brothers paper sleeve as shown, not significant.

4. Burn (Warner Brothers Release). Visually inspected. Surface markings noted on both sides. Slightly below average condition record album. I grade this as a VG- (Near VG) condition record. Cover: Average condition (VG) with basic wear and tear. Inner sleeve: Warner Brothers paper sleeve as shown, not significant. lyric insert included as shown, average condition.

Records listed have been cleaned using a Nitty Gritty 1.5 cleaning system.

I do my best to be fair and honest with my record grading assessments.  I will provide as much detail as possible to give potential buyers everything they need to know about the product(s) you are bidding on. I inspect and grade all vinyl by either listening to or visually inspecting under bright lighting. If play graded, it will be noted. Major anomalies will be noted. Bid with confidence as returns are accepted.

Vinyl Grading Classification:

(SS) Still Sealed = Sealed in original shrink wrap. Anomalies (Saw cuts, cut-out holes, creases, etc.) will be noted.

(NM) Near Mint = A superb LP record that is nearly perfect. No visible defects, appears to be new, except without the sealed shrink wrap. A good description of a NM record is ?It looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time.? 

(EX) Excellent = An LP record that is very close to (NM) with minor defects allowed.

(VG+) Very Good Plus = An LP record that has been played, but well cared for.  It may show light wear, such as light scratches or scuffs.

(VG) Very Good = An LP record that exhibits signs of use. Limited scuffs and scratches causing moderate surface noise that will be evident upon playing.  Defects should not overpower the music.

(VG-) Very Good Minus = An LP record considered acceptable. The record will play through but with significant surface noise and possible skips.  Well used vinyl.

(G) Good = An LP record marginally acceptable. LP exhibits visible scratches, significant skips/jumps and bad surface noise.

Note: I do not sell records below a 'Good' rating unless collectible.

Cover Grading Classification:

(NM) Near Mint = LP cover has no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable defects. No cut-out holes, either. The same is true for any inserts, posters, lyric sleeves and the like.

(EX) Excellent = LP cover very close to NM, minor defects allowed.

(VG+) Very Good Plus = LP cover may have slight signs of wear and may also be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.  Inner sleeve and will have some moderate wear, and may have lightly turned up corners.

(VG) Very Good = LP cover may have light to moderate ring wear, some tape, stickers, glue, writing, a small seam split, but not all of these defects. Too many of these types of defects will degrade the cover to a Good (G) classification.

(G) Good = LP cover shows signs of significant wear that includes seam splits (especially at the bottom or on the spine) and worn corners. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.

(F) Fair = LP cover that barely holds and protects the record. LP cover may include (but not all) the following defects: marred by wear, writing, water damage, seam splits on all three sides, inner sleeve seams splits, crinkled and written upon. If it is a common LP cover/sleeve, you'll need to find another copy in better shape to replace it.

USA Domestic: I do not gouge customers on shipping and handling fees. Domestic shipments will be shipped via USPS Economy Media Mail so I can pass savings along to customers. USPS Media Mail shipments can take up to 10 business days to arrive depending on location. All shipments include a USPS tracking number with delivery conformation.

 Winning Multiple Listings:

If buyer wins multiple listings I will combine shipping costs. If you win multiple listings please wait for the Invoice before making payment so I can accurately adjust shipping costs.
