2004 / Roc-A-Fella / DEFR 16086-1

Comes with the original "Jesus Walks" Studio Mastered Vinyl Acappella!!!! 

Hello, thanks for looking. I'm no expert on grading vinyl, i'll try my best to evaluate the condition of both the cover and the album. I'll use the grading scale below as a guide and i'll be very conservative with my evaluation.

You are bidding on a used copy of "Jesus Walks". This is the final single from The College Dropout by Rapper Kanye West. It was released on May 25, 2004 as the fourth single from his debut album The College Dropout. This 12" Single is a Rare Promotional Copy from Roc-A-Fella Records. This release has 2 acappellas; Jesus Walks and Heavy Hitters...Thats right is the original "Jesus Walks" Studio Mastered Vinyl Acappella, that alone is worth the money... especially for DJ's and Producers. The record is in excellent condition, details on condition below.

Tracklist

CONDITION: Jacket EX  / Vinyl: VG+ (Maybe EX)

The Jacket / Sleeve: I'm hoping the pictures can speak for the grade, The jacket is EX.  Has NO Seam Splitting, No writing anywhere, No bends or creases, No cut-out (drill) holes, No cut-out corners, No saw-marks or indents, The corners are in great shape.  The spine is in good shape and the print is very well centered and still legible. Nothing Major or Minor to report. 

Inner Paper Sleeve:  It's the original plain white paper record sleeve. 

The vinyl: I’d have to guess it would be VG+ (Maybe EX). The record looks great, few tiny minor cosmetic surface scratches but looks very clean. Minimal wear. The label has a Few tiny nicks and dings. Most of it is on the B-Side and its near the center hole. You should be able to see what I'm talking about in the pictures. I took a close up of both the A & B side label's. Like I said the vinyl itself is in excellent condition, I might be over critical about the label, i'll leave that for you to decide. 

This is really Rare, nice copy overall, but if you still have questions please message me.

All records are shipped correctly in a 12 X 12 Record mailer, (with the record out of the jacket) and in a plastic dust cover, with extra cardboard and foam support. Thanks for looking, please message me with any questions!  

Grading Scale

Mint (M): Perfect, unused in sealed original packaging.

Near-Mint (NM): Close to perfect with no visible scratches or scuffs. Appears to be un-played or played less than 5 times.

Excellent (EX): May contain 1 or 2 very tiny & light  cosmetic surface scratches and/or scuffs. Label and jacket may show slight signs of ring-wear / lightly bent corners. No creases, writing, tears or rips.

Very Good Plus (VG+): May show some signs that it was played and handled by a previous owner who took reasonably good care of it. Imperfections are cosmetic and do not drastically impact the playback. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs and surface scratches. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are ok. The label and jacket may have some slight ring ring-wear, discoloration, minor tears and imperfections. As with most vinyl, there may be low-level surface noise and light crackles and pops may be present, especially during quiet or soft passages in the track.  

Very Good (VG): Many of the imperfections found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG record or sleeve.

Good (G) - It doesn't mean the record is "Trashed" but its definitely been played a lot. I'll mainly use this for jackets and inner sleeves (if the record is worth selling).

Fair (F) Poor (P): I do not sell Poor (P), Fair (F). If I use these it's because the album is super rare. 

Disclaimer : I’m really new at selling on E-bay so please excuse my inexperience and lack of knowledge when it comes to collecting and selling vinyl. I do not grade LPs and I am not an expert on classification. Some of the vinyl I own, I bought in bulk at yard sales or estate sales. Ask Me Questions before bidding! Please understand, I’m grading my LPs on a visual estimation. Keep that in mind, because if you bid or buy this album, i’m selling it as is. If you’re really interested in this record and you think the description & photo’s are missing something… Message Me! Ask questions, I will answer honestly, I will send more photo’s, maybe even a video if you want. I'm not trying to scare away a potential customer, I'm just saying, please consider everything I said before asking for a refund. Look, there is some risk when buying used 30 - 60 year old, pre owned, vinyl… together we can cut down on that risk even eliminate it! Thanks for looking!!!
