Description
Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard of Ozz LP Record Vinyl First Pressing Black Sabbath
Record condition: VG+ Sleeve condition: VG
Examined carefully under bright light, I can see a trace of light marks and very light sleeve scuffs on this record. I could hear occasional light surface noise audible between tracks and during quieter passages. (e.g., I heard light surface noise during the quiet instrumental "Dee"), but I think you will find that the record is in nice condition, over all.
The sleeve has a bit too much wear for me to feel comfortable calling it VG+, but it presents nicely. The biggest issue is a 7" crease along the top right of the cover across the lettering. There's also some pretty heavy shelf wear and wear across the top edge as well as a crease right along the spine on the back cover. It also has a small bump on the mouth. The rest of the imperfections are fairly standard: corner wear, light corner bumps, light ring wear, light spine wear, and light general wear. Please examine pictures.
Note that the printed inner sleeve is present, but it's split all the way at the bottom and there's a smaller split on one of the edges. It also has some rippling presumably from light moisture exposure. The cover does not have any evidence of moisture.
I will ship with the record inside a brand new generic inner sleeve.
--------------------
I grade LPs based on a conservative interpretation of the Goldmine standard. This means that a VG+ record is in very nice shape and should have little to no surface noise barring an occasional moment here and there. A record with sustained surface noise will be at best a VG. All records are play-graded since not all surface noise can be detected visually. All records are shipped in new Whiplash mailers with cardboard backing with the sleeved record outside of the jacket to prevent seam splits.
Below is more thorough info on my grading system:
NM/EX: Surfaces essentially look new. This is the highest rating I give used records.
VG+: Very nice shape. May have a few stray very light hairlines and/or light paper scuffs visible under bright light. Will have little to no surface noise barring an occasional moment here and there. No feelable marks.
VG: Has light hairlines and/or light paper scuffs and has audible surface noise particularly between songs and during quieter passages.
G+: Has more pronounced hairlines and paper scuffs and may have a few small feelable marks, but still no skips.
