Description
Here is a Promo LP by various artists for the music from the motion picture Heavy Metal. The bands Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Cheap Trick, Devo, Donald Fagen and more perform songs on here. See the back cover for the bands. This is on a white label as it is a Promo version. Record 1 is Side One and flip side is Side Four. Second record is Side Two and flip side is Side Three. On Full Moon/Asylum Records DP 90004 from 1981.
The cover has the Loaned For Promotion Only label at the front upper right corner. It's a shiny black cover.There are several scratches on the bottom section near the seam and a couple in the middle area of the cover. The right side seam has a wrinkle on it near the bottom area. Bottom seam has many white marks from wear on it. Light whitish ringwear is showing a little bit at the top and bottom areas. But the ringwear on the back cover is more visible. The gatefold cover on the inside looks good.
Side One has 2 surface scratches in the same area across the first song and a couple more. And some scuffing. Flip over to Side Four has only a couple of light surface scratches. Record 2 for Side Two shows a couple light surface scratches and scuffs here and there. Flip side of Side Three has 2 surface scratches and some light scuffing. None of this caused any skips or pops, let alone barely any crackles. Here is a 51-second audio/video of Side One, first two song sections, so you can hear the good sound quality and it's like this throughout the LPs.
I rate the album cover as Very Good to Very Good Plus (VG+). But the vinyl I give an Excellent since the sound is great and not many scratches.

_______________________________________________________________________________Guidelines I use to rate the quality of these records (based on the Goldmine Grading Guide):
NM:Near Mint - Vinyl, still shiny, as if opened for the first time. No writing or stickers on the vinyl. No obvious scratches. Label: No writing or stickers and no fading of the label.
NM-: Near Mint Minus - Similar to NM but will have some very light scratches on the vinyl not affecting the sound quality. No writing or stickers on label and no fading (or ringwear) on cover or label.
EX: Excellent - Not quite a Goldmine Standard Listing, but being used by many now. Cover: No ink wear, minor creases to corners, no seam tears. Vinyl can have scratches, but not felt by your fingers. Sound quality must be mint. No more than 15% of the surface should have wear or scuffs on it. To me, EX is like a VG++.
VG+: Very Good Plus - Similar to NM- except that on the label, there may be a sticker or writing, but it shows very little wear. There may be only a couple light surface scratches on the grooves, but do not affect the playback with noise or skips. You may only see these scratches if you put them under a bright light and really look for them. The cover might have light creasing or minor seam or corner wear, but still in great condition to show off.
VG to VG-: Very Good to Very Good Minus - May not be that shiny anymore and you will see scratches without putting it under a bright light, but they still would not affect the quality of the playback. The sound quality is still pretty good, maybe a little noise, but not enough to detract from the listening experience. The label might have some fading around it, besides having stickers or writing. The cover may have obvious ringwear in the middle or around the perimeter of where the record was, maybe some side seam splits, or little tears at the top or side where the record goes back into. If less defects, then it's a VG. If it has all this just mentioned, then a VG-.
G, G+: Good or Good Plus - It doesn't mean the vinyl is trashed. It plays though without skipping, but may have heavy noise or fuzz sound because of age, quality, or worn-down grooves. Heavy writing or stickers on the label, ringwear is very obvious on label and cover probably has seam splits. But, amazingly, if you have special audio LP recording software, you could probably clean up those crackles and fuzzes, if you want to create a CD of it for yourself.
P: Poor - This is when the vinyl is warped to the point it warps the playback also. Or it's cracked, but it may or may not still play without a skip. If a picture sleeve is with it, this is torn or marked up bigtime. But someone may want to have it for nostalgia or even attempt to fix it.
