Description
The Carpenters “Offering” STILL SEALED 1st ORIGINAL WITHDRAWN COVER A&M LP MINT
Artist: The Carpenters Title: Offering Label: A&M (SP 4205) Year: 1969
Condition: Vinyl - MINT Cover - MINT (STLL SEALED)
Description: This is a deadstock STILL SEALED and absolutely pristine mint copy of the debut from The Carpenters - the very first original pressing - with the withdrawn cover from 1969. It is absolutely incredible to find this LP at all, let alone being still sealed. The original shrink wrap is fully intact save for a small 2” portion on the opening slit as is pictured. Safe to say this will not show up in this condition anytime again soon.

BIDDERS - PLEASE READ THE BELOW
I grade my LPs VERY conservatively and accurately under a bright light. A description of the grading scale is below:
M: MINT - perfect. vinyl is pristine / cover is flawless and/or sealed
M- : just under mint. a very, very slight amount of wear on the cover or inaudible wear on the vinyl (surface wear from age, generally) but is otherwise flawless
VG+: vinyl / cover shows signs minor signs age or wear that are more or less undistinct / inaudible.
VG: vinyl / cover shows some visible wear / age but is overall in very good shape. pops and clicks may be ever so slightly noticeable, but don't effect play or overall listening experience.
VG-: vinyl / cover shows some relatively apparent age but is in overall good shape and still a fine copy to own / play.
G+: vinyl shows some heavy wear but overall sounds decent. cover has some flaws or shows much age
G: vinyl is in pretty rough shape visibly but plays ok. cover shows a lot of age or has some major splits or tears.
G-: vinyl looks / sounds pretty rough. cover has major condition issues such as water damage, large rips, etc
*a double "+" or "-" indicates that the condition is just above or below the neighboring grade
