Here it is folks, the holy grail of Rush LP's.  Rush's debut LP on Moon Records MN-100.  This is a must have for any serious Rush collector.  

LABEL & NUMBER:  Moon MN-100
OTHER NOTES &/or MATRIX #’s:  Canadian Original

CONDITION:

Vinyl:  VG/VG+ This would grade a solid VG+ if not for a couple of 3 inch long shallow scuffs/scratches - one on each side.  Please see the pictures of the vinyl.  These are actually very shallow and look worse than they really are.  I play tested and they don't seem to affect the sound quality.  Both sides play at least VG+ and maybe even EX.  Just a little bit of faint noise between tracks and on a couple of the quieter parts

Cover: The cover is actually very nice if not for the fact that someone wrote "299" on it in blue marker.  There is some minor wear along the top edge (see pictures).  Besides these two things, the cover is EX.

GRADING SYSTEM:
Guidelines for assessing the grading / condition of used records (based on Goldmine Grading for Records)

MINT (M): Perfect! This record looks like it has just left the manufacturer, with NO flaws what so ever. It looks as though it had never been handled. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains. No stickers address labels, writing on the covers or labels. No tears or seam splits. No wear to the cover or record period! Age of the record has nothing to do with it.

NEAR MINT or NM, M- : this record appears virtually flawless A very minor scuff and very little else can appear on the vinyl. It should play without any noise over the flaw. The flaw is very hard to see.

EXCELLENT or EX or VG++ : minor scuffs which are only slightly visible. There may be more than a few scuffs and NO Scratches

VERY GOOD PLUS or VG+ : record shows wear, surface scuffs. The vinyl still has a great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. If the flaws don't cause any surface noise, the vinyl can still make the VG+ grade.

VERY GOOD or VG: this record is a record that is good enough. They are not really going to look very good, but it will STILL play very good. There will almost always be some surface noise when they are played. The Dynamics should still be excellent, overpowering the surface noise. A VG record will appear well have been played but still have some luster.

GOOD or G: A good record will look very well played, dull, grayish and possibly abused. However a Good record should still play. It will have distracting surface noise. Such as crackle that is continuous or some hiss. Will also have some loss of dynamics caused from grooves being worn. It should play without any skips or any obtrusively loud pops or repeated clicks, caused by deep scratches. Good means that it will play with some form of decency, so one can still enjoy the music even though you can still hear noise caused from the wear.

On a scale from 1 (Poor) to 10 (Perfect) the above gradings are equivalent to:
MINT - 10, Near Mint - 8, Excellent - 7, Very Good Plus - 6 , Very Good - 5 , Good - 2
