Queensryche - The Warning LP
Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Media Mail.

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 "The Warning"  is the first full length studio album by American progressive metal band Queensrÿche, released on September 7, 1984, under EMI America. I'm not sure about the pressing, I put the matrix run off below. Both vinyl and jacket are in great shape, see details below! 

Queensrÿche ?– The Warning

• Matrix / Runout (Side A - Runout Etching): ST-1-17134-24
• Matrix / Runout (Side A - Runout Stamped): TML-M 0 #3
• Matrix / Runout (Side B - Runout Etching): ST-2-17134- Z7
• Matrix / Runout (Side B - Runout Stamped): TML-M

CONDITION: 

The Jacket / Sleeve: I'm hoping the pictures can speak for the grade, i'd say its a VG+ . Solid, still very stiff,  Has NO Seam Splitting, No bends or creases, No cut-out (drill) holes, No cut-out corners, No saw-marks or indents, The corners are in good shape. The front has NO friction marks or burn caused by rubbing against other covers, The back has NO record ring (see photo's). No yellowing from aging, No stickers, No tape, No water damage. The spine is in Great shape and the print is very well centered and legible. There is a little scribble of black marker on the back (see Photo)

Inner Paper Sleeve:  It's the original paper record sleeve. it has the photo of the pant members on one side and lyrics on the other. There is scotch tape along every side. I think someone put it there as a prevent measure to stop paper from splitting. 

The vinyl: I’d have to guess it would be VG+ to Ex. The record looks great, few minor surface scratches but looks very clean. Label is perfect. The vinyl really looks great!

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 very light 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!!!
