Sleeve: VG No seam splits or writing, graded VG mainly due to water damage on bottom front which has caused discoloration and some "rippling"...otherwise very decent with slight corner wear., a crease upper on the upper right front corner, slight sign of ring wear and a couple of spots on rear. Perfect spine which is fully legible. Embossed text and lines on front cover are all quite nice still. If it weren't otherwise in decent shape I'd probably grade it VG- simply for the water damage and rippling but the overall condition makes it at least a VG.

Disc: EX- A few light superficial wispy sleeve removal traces and hairlines lines under bright light, no major scratches or scuffs...very nice and perfectly playable copy! Bright loud sound and quiet when it should be! Obviously hasn't been played much.

Labels: VG++ to EX- slight spider legs around spindle hole (came this way from the factory - extremely common on these records in particular), black slick label is very susceptible to oily skin smudging which can be cleaned off...no spindle marks, no signs of play or any writing or unwanted marks.

Inner sleeve: VG++ generic die cut inner- no splits, some creasing and disc impression.

I always strive for 100% positive customer satisfaction so in the unlikely event of a problem contact me first before opening a case and I'll do it everything possible to make it right! I grade conservatively and always try to highlight (instead of hiding) ANY and ALL flaws. See photos for details as well.

I always package records carefully with each disc in a new inner sleeve to protect the original miners from splitting. (Not an option with sealed records however I do my best to protect the sleeve from splitting.) I use cardboard stiffeners on each side and place the discs behind the jacket in a high quality Japanese Mylar resealable outer sleeve to protect the records and inner sleeves and to prevent the jacket from splitting.

Shipping is $5 Media Mail for both albums unless you opt for Priority which would bring the shipping up a bit. If you wish to do this, contact me BEFORE paying and I will adjust shipping fee.

ATTENTION INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: I only send records via USPS 1st Class International with Registered Tracking. This is usually about $35 total (or a little more but I'll eat the cost and only charge $35 flat rate. It's usually $22-25 for shipping plus the $15 Registered cost. I make NO money from shipping and in fact I usually over pay a little. I don't make any money with shipping as I don't think it's fair. Thanks and don't hesitate to ask questions!
