Description
Click here to see our other auctions this week, featuring a stunning collection of hundreds of jazz, blues, soul, funk, reggae, R&B, doo wop & gospel LPs, including many UK and German pressings, signed covers, sealed albums, private pressings and promos!
Record Condition: VG
Cover Condition: VG+
Other Notes: Original "rat cover" which was withdrawn after the initial run in 1972 because Motown thought the rat would scare kids into not buying the album. Subsequent pressings had it airbrushed out. Vinyl grades VG and has a sticker on one label and some superficial marks (nothing deep or even "feelable"). Cover is VG+ with just some light edge wear/storage wear in spots and another sticker on the front.
All vinyl is conservatively graded under strong artificial light.
All pressings are vintage pressings (not modern reissues) unless otherwise noted.
We pay top dollar for quality record collections (classical, jazz, rock, punk, indie, latin etc.). If you are interested in selling please contact us.
We grade conservatively using the Goldmine grading scale There is no such thing as a "mint" record, near mint (NM) is our highest grade.
NM > VG++ > VG+ > VG > VG- > G+ > Good > Poor
LPs are shipped in poly (plastic) outer sleeves with the inner sleeve separated from the cover to prevent seam-splitting.
If a record says "VPI-cleaned", it means it was professionally cleaned on a VPI record cleaning machine using high quality (alcohol-free) L'Art du Son concentrated solution with deionized water.
