Description
Acquired this in a lot of LPs, but knew nothing about it prior to looking it up on Discogs. I am not an expert on grading, but followed the grading system below. I played portions of the the LP and it sounds great to me, but I would have loved to have it cleaned ultrasonically. I do not believe that the sleeve is the original sleeve. Album cover is in very good condition. There is wear at the corners and included a photo of the worst corner. The 1st press stampers are 2K/1E, which I believe indicates the first pressing. Again, I apologize if I am not providing key information, but would be happy to answer any questions or provide additional photos.
I will be shipping this in a cardboard record mailer, but the mailer will be inside a outer box for protection.Please message with any questions.
Grading is subjective, though below are the general standards that I use in grading the record. I have not listened to all the albums that I list, so often the grading is based on visual inspection only. Feel free to contact me for additional pictures or questions.
NEAR MINT (NM) A good description of a NM record is it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time. In other words, it's nearly perfect.
EXCELLENT (EX) EX records show no signs of wear. Signs of handling are OK, such as fingerprints, dust, etc. Cover is often still in the shrink although some shelf wear is acceptable and sleeve has no visible wear though wrinkling and creases are acceptable.
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.
Very Good (VG) VG records have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Good does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, so it can serve as filler until something better comes along. But it has significant surface noise and groove wear, and the label is worn, with significant ring wear, heavy writing, or obvious damage caused by someone trying to remove tape or stickers and failing miserably.
I will combine shipping with each additional LP at $1.00price rating
