Grading
Grading is conservative. I spent considerable time listing out all noticed flaws and specifics, as well as ensure that they are accurately portrayed in the photos.
Sleeve (Picture Sleeve): VG
Sleeve is overall in great shape. A bit of creasing, oxidation/yellowing (especially around opening and inside sleeve), fading in colour, a bit of staining on both sides, and edge and corner wear. Tiny amount of ringwear on both sides (mostly front) and some fading. Colour still vibrant and crisp. Tiny split near opening, from the top, to just under wear the RCA Victor logo ends on the right side.
Vinyl: VG+
Both sides of the vinyl have only a handful of surface marks/scratches that were hard to capture in photos. Minimal depth to grooves. Still cleans to a very high gloss. Labels are in great shape, clean and shiny, some general wear. Markings on side 2 vinyl label. Vinyl has been well cleaned. Borderline excellent/VG+ condition- especially considering playback.
Playback is EX. Almost no surface noise on side A. No cracks, pops or skips. Slightly more surface noise on side B, but still barely any, might have heard one crack near the beginning. Extremely clean play through, very clear and crisp sound quality, especially for its age. Excellent recording and pressing.
Shipping
Please send me a message if you have any shipping inquiries or specifications. I almost always ship within a day, and if not, I will send a message.
I ship in standard 7” record mailers. Vinyl will be shipped in plain white generic sleeve (outside of picture sleeve). Both vinyl and picture sleeve will be in a plastic sleeve, with 2 7” cardboard inserts and wrapped in newspaper. Front and back of record mailer will have “Fragile” labels.
*Due to delays with Canada post delivery, I would advise messaging me prior to purchasing so I can look into best shipping option based on your location.
