Description

VINYL

            Side 1:   Plays and looks Mint with no lines or marks even under halogen light

            Side 2:   same as side 1

LABELS

            Side 1:   Mint with no spindle marks

            Side 2:   same as side 1

COVER

            Front:   Mint in shrink with solid seams and spine and sharp corners

            Back:   same as side 1, however, over the years the shrink has shrunk and caused a horizontal split that goes from the opening to about half way across the back, otherwise, the shrink is intact.

INNER:    original inner with one side split 3 inches

DESCRIPTION:   I purchased this LP sealed years ago and played it less than 5 times on a Linn Sondek LP12. VJ vinyl was never great, but this one plays with no distracting surface static, exactly as manufactured. Exceptionally nice labels.

_______________________________

   I began buying records in the mid 60’s and I've always been fanatical about record care and storage.

   The records I sell are from my personal collection, including backup copies. I've never been one to buy VG records or anything with an audible scratch, which eliminates the vast majority. If I do miss an audible flaw, then kindly contact me and it will be rectified.

   I use standard US grading plus the UK grade of EX in order to eliminate the dreaded VG+++

   Records are first inspected under a halogen light (the only light that shows every flaw) and any blemishes are examined with a 10x power magnifier which allows the grooves to be fully inspected. Then they’re play graded on a Linn Sondek LP12.

   Over the decades, I've seen grading fads come and go, such as: “visual” grading by people who don't own a turntable; the current use of nonsense grades like NM+ and NM- as well as the dubious belief that there’s no such thing as a mint record.

   As a record buyer, I've had a lot of over graded “garage sale” LPs arrive covered with gritty dust and greasy fingerprints while the seller claims a “visual” grade based on fantasy. Be assured that my records will arrive clean and fingerprint free.
