$

159

Title:   Concert For Bangladesh

Artist:  George Harrison (Bob Dylan)

Label:  Apple

Cover:  Factory Sealed

Record(s):  Factory Sealed

Factory sealed original issue on Apple from 1973.  This is absolutely the original U.S. pressing and has part of the original price tag on the front cover.  Gorgeous.  The only flaws are a few indentions that go across the top jacket cover.  The shrink is not torn here so I believe these are from the manufacturer.  There are no tears to the outer orange textured paper.  See picture.  Shrink wrap is only barely beginning to come loose at the top right corner.  A beauty!!!

Guaranteed first pressing with custom inner sleeves and booklet..

About Me:

I am first and foremost a collector.  I have been collecting and enjoying recorded music on vinyl since 1973.  I know how to grade.  You will not see a lot of NM grades because it is a very high standard.  

Per Goldmine:

NM  Essentially like new.  No marks on record other than those very slight imperfections that might be caused in manufacturing or from shifting in a sealed record cover.  A VERY HIGH standard.  Record possibly unplayed.  This means no sleeve swipes visible in good light.

EX+ iis the highest end of the spectrum of Goldmine’s VG+ grading and will normally delight any serious collector.  This is JUST short of NM.  Exceptional gloss.  Only a few very superficial faint marks, usually sleeve swipes, that DO NOT AFFECT PLAY.  Clean lead in bands.  Possibly some marks on the very highest part of the rim, above which the stylus is placed.  The kind of record that looks NM when examined carefully in good light.  (The VAST majority of all "NM" records that I have purchased on ebay are actually EX+.)  

EX is the middle of the VG+ spectrum and will satisfy music lovers who want to enjoy the music without distraction. Retains most of the original gloss.  Only very faint needle marks visible under good light, some on the lead in section of the outer band.  Nothing that can be felt when gently passing your fingernail across the mark.  A few more sleeve swipes.  Still a great record that, when properly cleaned, will play perfectly. No clicks, no ticks, no pops caused by the stylus crossing the mark.

EX- is the lower end of the VG+ spectrum, but still qualifies a VG+ Goldmine rating.  More visible marks but none can be felt and none should affect play.  Maybe a little loss of gloss but most of that should come back when properly cleaned.  Still a collection worthy record that will be enjoyed WITHOUT DISTRACTION when properly cleaned.  

Unfortunately, overgrading is epidemic on ebay, requiring buyers to “do the math” in their head to estimate an actual grade.  My grades are solid and satisfaction is guaranteed.

I only sell collectible albums (VG+ or better) and I grade strictly using a halogen lamp.  Anything that doesn’t meet the grade goes in the garbage.  I don’t want it.   You don’t want it.  No need to hold on to it.
