LABELS
Side 1: Mint with no spindle marksSide 2: same as side 1
COVER: Most sane people would call this cover Mint, but since there's a couple of insignificant ink rubs, I'll grade it at Mint-. Solid seams and spine and no ring wear or other issues. The green obi is clean and undamaged.
INNER: archival inner included
INSERT: clean and flat with no creases or rips
DESCRIPTION: Purchased new and kept that way. Rarely played on my Linn Sondek 12.

_______________________________
I began buying records in the mid 60’s and I've always been fanatical about record care and storage.
The records I sell are from my personal collection, including backup copies. I've never been one to buy VG records or anything with an audible scratch, which eliminates the vast majority. If I do miss an audible flaw, then kindly contact me and it will be rectified.
I use standard US grading plus the UK grade of EX in order to eliminate the dreaded VG+++
Records are first inspected under a halogen light (the only light that shows every flaw) and any blemishes are examined with a 10x power magnifier which allows the grooves to be fully inspected. Then they’re play graded on a Linn Sondek LP12.
Over the decades, I've seen grading fads come and go, such as: “visual” grading by people who don't own a turntable; the current use of nonsense grades like NM+ and NM- as well as the dubious belief that there’s no such thing as a mint record.
As a record buyer, I've had a lot of over graded “garage sale” LPs arrive covered with gritty dust and greasy fingerprints while the seller claims a “visual” grade based on fantasy. Be assured that my records will arrive clean and fingerprint free.
