MISTAKES AND OMISSIONS STILL HAPPEN BUT IT IS MY GOAL TO KEEP THEM AT AN ABSOLUTE MINIMUM. 
PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT EVERY RECORD IN THIS AUCTION HAS BEEN SITTING UNPLAYED ON A SHELF FOR AT LEAST 30 YEARS. WITHOUT POLY OUTER SLEEVE PROTECTION OR REGULAR USE MANY HAVE DEVELOPED SLEEVE STAINS - COSMETIC BLEMISHES ON THE PLAYING SURFACE(S) THAT DO NOT AFFECT PLAY.

MY GRADES: SEALED NM ( A RECORD THAT HAS NO MARKS WHATSOEVER AND NO OBVIOUS SIGNS OF PLAYS) EX (A RECORD THAT HAS A COUPLE LIGHT OR MINOR MARKS OR A NM RECORD WITH SLEEVE STAIN BLEMISHES) VG+ (A RECORD THAT HAS A FEW LIGHT MARKS AND/OR LIGHT BLEMISHES FROM THE INNER SLEEVE) VG (A RECORD THAT HAS SEVERAL LIGHT MARKS AND/OR MORE NOTICEABLE BLEMISHES FROM THE INNER SLEEVE) VG- ( A RECORD THAT IS STILL IN VERY PLAYABLE CONDITION, WILL HAVE MANY MARKS BUT WILL NOT HAVE ANY SERIOUS OR DEEP SCRATCHES / MARKS) G+ (A RECORD WITH MANY MARKS AND A COUPLE MORE SERIOUS MARKS) G ( BASICALLY A FILLER COPY, RECORD WILL HAVE SERIOUS ISSUES)

PLEASE NOTE - AUDIBLY CHECKED IN FULL. SIDE 1 PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY WITH ONLY A FEW LIGHT TICKS HERE AND THERE. SIDE 2 DOES NOT PLAY AS WELL WITH SEVERAL TICKS, A LIGHT POP AND ANOTHER BRIEF RANDOM NOISE ON B1. THERE ARE SEVERAL MORE TICKS THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE SIDE. ADDITIONALLY THE DISC’S VISUAL GRADE OF VG+ IS A LITTLE TOO HIGH. I FEEL IT HAS A COUPLE TOO MANY MARKS AND HEAVIER SLEEVE STAINS THAN A VG+ RECORD SHOULD HAVE AND THAT VG WOULD BE A MORE ACCURATE GRADE. BECAUSE OF THIS THE WINNING BIDDER WILL NOT HAVE TO COMPLETE THE TRANSACTION. I’D LIKE TO THANK ALL THE BIDDERS FOR THEIR UNDERSTANDING AND TO PLEASE ACCEPT MY APOLOGIES FOR THIS ERROR
