GARY KARR PLAYES OPERATIC ARIAS LONDON SUPER ANALOGUE NM PERFECT KIJC-9113

You are looking at what looks like an unplayed copy of Gary Karr Plays Operatic Arias. This is an audiophile London "Super Analogue Disc" and appears to be an acetate, test pressing or one of the very first few pressings - the cover is not the normal cover but rather a record pressing data outer sleeve with the date it was pressed in Japan and other numbers describing its production. If it is an acetate, test pressing or early pressing, then its sound quality would most likely be superior to later pressings. Since the vinyl is in such high grade condition, I did not test it for fear of damaging it or lessening its condition at all. 

Vinyl Condition (see my grading system below): Mint

Outer Sleeve Condition (see my grading system below): NM-. Has light shelf wear along edges. Poly inner sleeve has some black ink fingerprint stains likely from the Japanese person pressing the vinyl. 

Record Speed & Size: 33rpm / 12 inch 

Label: London

#: KIJC-9113

Pressing Year: 1992

Country of Manufacture: Japan

Record Grading System:

MINT or M: This record looks perfect and has no flaws. Never been handled. No wear whatsoever. 

NEAR MINT or NM, M- : This vinyl record looks close to perfect. A very minor scuff or two that does not affect the sound in any way is the maximum amount of wear it can have. Furthermore, it should play over the flaw with no affect on the sound. The cover looks close to perfect with only very minor signs of shelf wear along its edges. 

EXCELLENT or EX: Minor scuffs that are not very noticeable. There may be a few scuffs but there are NO scratches. Should play all the way through with no hiccups or skips and at the most has some very minor and low background noise. Cover: Artwork looks very presentable and is fully visible. Minor ring wear is okay. Some minor creases and / or wear at the corners is acceptable, but this must be minor and not an eyesore. There can be no seam splits or writing or any signs of taping. 

VERY GOOD PLUS or VG+: The vinyl record will show wear and surface scuffs. Though the vinyl still has much of its original glossy luster, there will be flaws to the vinyl surface that are visible to the naked eye. COVERS: A clean cover that looks presentable but at the same time looks like it has been handled over the years showing all around lighter signs of use.  There is likely some minor ring wear. It may also have some minor wear to the seams or spine, but no tears or holes. Corners can show some white and maybe have faint creases but nothing to detract from the cover's artwork. No writing or taping of split seams. 

VERY GOOD or VG: This is a vinyl record that is good enough.  Expect surface noise when played. The songs should overpower the background noise.  Vinyl surface has some of its original gloss but will show signs of use - scuff marks and possibly superficial scratches. It should play without skipping all the way through but it may have a few popping noises. VG covers will show handling and shelf wear but they do not look "ugly" - just that they have been well used through the years. There may be some seam splitting but nothing too major. There will be the kind of ring wear where the ink of the artwork has started to wear off around the circle shape of the disc inside.  There could be some writing on the cover  but no large letters or drawings - only a small name. It will look aged and the colors of the cover may be faded a little due to age.
