All gradings are visual unless a playcheck is requested. I have listened to the spots that appeared to possibly be problem areas and have reported my findings. A full play check may be requested and I'd be happy to play it!

DISC: VG to VG+ Still retains its original glossy sheen...Many light superficial hairlines under a bright light, small "dimple" on Love which causes about 8 pops but no skips or jumps. Very playable copy!

SLEEVE: VG+ Disc retains its glossy laminate sheen, no splits, handful of thumbnail creases front and back, nice spine fully legible.

INNER SLEEVE: VG Rare original custom fliback inner with lyrics and doodle from John. Bottom flipback is almost all gone otherwise remaining two sides are unsplit, title and original price written in blue ink.

Perfectly decent play copy with first white Apple labels with original 1st pressing MACLEN credit labels. Low Stampers!

I always strive for 100% positive customer satisfaction so in the unlikely event of a problem contact me first before opening a case and I'll do it everything possible to make it right! I grade conservatively and always try to highlight (instead of hiding) ANY and ALL flaws. See photos for details as well.

I always package records carefully with each disc in a new inner sleeve to protect the original miners from splitting. (Not an option with sealed records however I do my best to protect the sleeve from splitting.) I use cardboard stiffeners on each side and place the discs behind the jacket in a high quality Japanese Mylar resealable outer sleeve to protect the records and inner sleeves and to prevent the jacket from splitting.

Shipping is $4 Media Mail unless you opt for Priority which would bring the shipping up a bit. If you wish to do this, contact me BEFORE paying and I will adjust shipping fee.

ATTENTION INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: I only send records via USPS 1st Class International with Registered Tracking. This is usually about $35 total (or a little more but I'll eat the cost and only charge $35 flat rate. It's usually $22-25 for shipping plus the $15 Registered cost. I make NO money from shipping and in fact I usually over pay a little. I don't make any money with shipping as I don't think it's fair. Thanks and don't hesitate to ask questions!

Record Grading:(+ and - are used after the grade for records that fall in between these gradings)

MINT - A RARELY USED GRADE - RECORDS STATED AS UNPLAYED (SOMETIMES) OR MOST OFTEN STILL SEALED WITHOUT DAMAGE ARE THE ONLY RECORDS WHERE I USE MINT.

NEAR MINT- THE RECORD ITSELF IS IN NEARLY BRAND NEW CONDITION WITH NO VISIBLE SURFACE MARKS OR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY.

EXCELLENT - THE RECORD SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED, BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY.

VERY GOOD : THE RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES, BUT DISPLAYS NO MAJOR DETORIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY, DESPITE NOTICEABLE SURFACE MARKS AND THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT SCRATCH.

GOOD : THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED SO MUCH THAT THE SOUND QUALITY HAS NOTICEABLY DETERIORATED, PERHAPS WITH SOME DISTORTION AND MILD SCRATCHES.

FAIR : THE RECORD IS STILL JUST PLAYABLE BUT HAS NOT BEEN CARED FOR PROPERLY AND DISPLAYS CONSIDERABLE SURFACE NOICE; IT MAY EVEN JUMP.

POOR : THE RECORD WILL NOT PLAY PROPERLY DUE TO SCRATCHES,BAD SURFACE NOISE, ETC.

BAD : THE RECORD IS UNPLAYABLE OR MIGHT EVEN BE BROKEN. IS ONLY OF USE AS A COLLECTION FILLER.
