THE SMITHS - "Louder Than Bombs" Vinyl LP 1987 Sire 25569-1. First edition pressing, vinyl in VG+ - EX condition. I give these records VG+ due to some minor paper scuffing on side 1; sides 2-4 would grade EX (overall vinyl is beautiful). Cover in VG+ condition (no splits, slight spine scuffing); original sleeve in VG with three 1"-2" seam splits. Please carefully review all photos; photos are part of the description. This record sounds wonderful on my Music Hall TT through vintage Advent speakers, with barely audible static pops between tracks, very quiet tracking. And yes, it's 35 years old.

Goldmine Record Grading Standard: 

Mint: Unopened, still factory sealed or opened but has no visible marks, looks un-played.

N/Mint: Near Perfect, played rarely if ever. May have 1 or 2 very slight superficial paper scuffs that does not affect play.

EX: Almost like new, might have a few superficial signs of use that does not affect play. Very well cared for.

VG+: Some slight signs of wear, may have slight sleeve scuffs or lite scratches (should play well).

VG: Surface noise will be noticeable but will not overpower the music, more noticeable scuffs and lite scratches. 

VG-: Vinyl will play but may have surface noise on some tracks, signs of heavy use or wear. Note, I rarely sell albums with this grade unless it is a real treasure and hard to find album that collectors look for to add to their collection.
