Leonard Cohen
"The Songs Of Leonard Cohen" LP
Columbia Records # CS 9533
Still factory SEALED in shrink wrap
Purchased recently at an estate sale with 60+ years of collectibles is this sealed vintage Leonard Cohen album. Possibly an original 1960's first pressing or might be a 1970 second pressing. Please see more info below:
- The album cover lists both the stereo and mono catalog numbers on the back and front, but it has only the stereo catalog number on the spine, so I am listing this as being "stereo."
- The album weighs 274 grams. If you subtract approx. 140 grams for the weight of the cover and lyric sheet, this is probably close to a 140 gram pressing. Later pressings are usually lighter than this. (I have an opened 1970's pressing and the vinyl is only 105 grams). Based on weight, could be an original 1960's copy...or at least, probably is not newer than early 1970's.
- Has the lyric sheet that wraps around the front cover sealed under the shrink wrap (see photo #1).
- The cover is not printed on card stock - it is an older-style artwork-pasted-on-cardboard type cover.
- There is no bar code - so this is definitely not a recent reissue pressing.
Information above is based on visual inspectiction. There are no guarantees regarding manufacture date of this album. Our policy is to not open a sealed album to inspect the labels and matrix numbers on the record.
Vinyl:
MINT / sealed inside album cover

NM
Still fully sealed in original store shrink wrap. No cut-out holes or slots. No creases or other damage.
********************************
Grading Scale:
All grades are based on close visual inspection under a bright light source. Records are not play tested unless stated otherwise in the listing (i.e. "played well for me," or "had excellent sound"). You may also sometimes see a record or album cover with a split grade, for example "VG++ to NM" or "VG to VG+." Split grades are given because we base our grading on a number system from 1-10, with ten being the highest grade. So, for example, since VG++ is from 8.0 to 9.0 and NM is 9.0 to 10, a record that we grade as being a "9" is at the borderline between VG++ and NM. In our estimation, this item is at the very least a strong example of the lower grade - or possibly a slightly lesser example of the higher grade. A split grade is also sometimes given if one side of the record or cover is better than the other. In that case, it will be noted in the listing as "VG / VG+" or "VG++ / NM" indicating one side is better condition than the other.
Mint (M) = A perfect 10. Only used for sealed items - record sealed inside is assumed to be mint, but please note we will not open a sealed item to inspect for any possible manufacturing defects
NM = 9 to 10. Excellent; very little if any wear. Top grade for used items.
EX = 8 to 9. Has very minor wear. Will still look and sound excellent.
VG+ = 7 to 8. Has minor wear. Still looks nice - still sounds nice - might have light surface noise in some places.
VG = 6 to 7. Has moderate wear. Scuffs/scratches are more noticeable. Music still sounds fine, but you will also hear background surface noise in places.
G+ = 5 to 6. Moderate to heavier wear. Has surface noise, but should not drown out music or skip. Might not be for serious audiophiles, but more casual listeners will still enjoy despite the flaws.
G = 4 to 5. Heavy wear. The vinyl and/or cover will have many scuffs, scratches and/or other defects. Audiophiles should probably avoid.
