Condition:
Shrink wrap is still completely intact and is very tight fitting on cover. Could not find any flaws on the album. It's as close to mint as possible. Record should be perfect as it's never been taken out or played. This is a very rare and hard to find piece that could be the only sealed copy left.

GRADING STANDARDS

I have thoroughly inspected every record that is listed to verify the condition. I visually inpsect the cover, inner sleeve, vinyl, label, and any additional items that may come with the record. I use a bright light and magnifying glass. If I see it, then you'll know about it. I'm human and sometimes mistakes are made, but not very often. Each record has been listened to in its entirety and digitally recorded for reference except any 78s. I use the Goldmine standard for grading and give one grade for the entire LP as it is only as good as its most glaring flaw. I also grade conservatively because everyone has different expectations with respect to a grade. I'd rather have a pleasantly surpised customer than a very disappointed one. Below are the Goldmine condition grades with their parameters. If a grade is given and is not one of the ones listed, I will explain the reasoning.

MINT (M) - Absolutely perfect in every way. It must have not ever been played and possibly still in its original seal although that does not mean it isn't flawed. Most likely a minor flaw can be found and I doubt this grade will be used ever.

STILL SEALED (SS) - Records that have never been opened and were sealed by the manufacturer, not resealed. I have many of these that came from an estate of a radio station owner. There could be some minor defects, but mainly to the cover due to handling and aging. Some may have minor tears or punctures in the shrink wrap.

NEAR MINT (NM) - A nearly perfect record. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like. Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) - A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.

VERY GOOD (VG) - Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.

GOOD (G), GOOD PLUS (G+) - A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
