Description
The record is in VG+ condition, and has been ultrasonically cleaned and play-tested. The sound is rich and warm, with deep bass. Plays with some surface noise in the quieter passages, but overall, a wonderful playing copy. The cover is at the lower end of VG+, but in better condition than VG. There are some laminate creases as you often find with this release, and a bit of ring-wear. Look at the detail in the photos.
I use the Goldmine® Grading Guide - cover/record
Near Mint (NM or M-) A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this, implying (perhaps correctly)that no record is ever truly perfect. 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. Near Mint is the highest price listed in all Goldmine price guides. Anything that exceeds this grade, in the opinion of both buyer and seller, is worth significantly more than the highest Goldmine book value.
