THE SMITHEREENS

11

Capitol Records / Enigma Records C1-91194

This is a rare, hard to find LP, especially in this nice of a condition. Imagine a sealed record you just unwrapped…. this gets close to that. A BEAUTY!

For sake of grading we will grade the cover as NM since it is unwrapped, and I’ve had it on a shelf for years… and I have handled it a few times …. and it has a hint of very, very light ring rub where the label would have imprinted and top and bottom but difficult to see( previous owner had it ‘inside’ the sleeve.

The Vinyl appears to be UNPLAYED and along with the label, is clean and pristine and NM also.

The Inner Sleeve with credits and lyrics and photo is also clean and neat and NM.

Vinyl Grading System

We use the following grading system to stipulate the condition of items we offer for sale.

Mint (M)

Vinyl: Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.

Near Mint (NM or M-)

Vinyl: A nearly perfect record. A NM record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve will have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. An LP cover will have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. The same will be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.

*NM- just not quite NM but much better than EX

Excellent (EX) or Very Good Plus Plus (VG++)

May have more then a few spindel marks

May have some paper scuffs, rub marks but NO scratches.

Any blemishes are only cosmetic.

Very Good Plus (VG+)

Vinyl: 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. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's overall listening experiences but may have minimal light background noise. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner.

Very Good (VG)

Vinyl: 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.

Good Plus (G+)

Vinyl: A record in Good Plus condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.
