U2 - The Joshua tree LP


I, as most sellers, am grading records visually. However, most records offered on Ebay have been partially or fully played so if in the case that the visual grading isn't matching the playing grade by too much, or if a serious audible defect is heard, the final grading will be lower then the initial visual with the reason(s) stated. I play the records using a Thorens TD-145 equipped with a Shure M-95ED cartridge. Differences in sound and/or tracking efficiency is possible depending on the turntable type being used. Our turntable is considered quite sensitive.
Original inner sleeves are mentioned if present. Else, paper or poly sleeves are always provided with our records unless specified.

Note that I own most of these records for over a decade and are stored unused since. I've recently started to compiled them to sell a lot of them so come and see often the newly listed records from my personal collection.



Grading description:

Sealed: The record have it's original wrap and is unopened.
Being sealed, we can't be aware of the vinyl's condition, mainly for warp defects or bad pressing. Jacket is in the seal. If any damages, defects or  hole punched (saw groove) is being seen, it will be mentioned but is still considered sealed condition.
Mint: The record is as new. I voluntary don't grade mint.
NM: Stands for Near Mint and is considered a very clean record.
Visually no surface wear but may have been played few times or have been very well maintained. If our record is graded NM, it's playing almost is if it's just being unsealed. Jacket shows no wear in image and sides but could at worst have one or 2 light bends.
EX: Record is in EXcellent condition.
An excellent record plays generally great but could have few occasional pops. No linear scratches that are audible. Almost non-existent background noise. It's a record very satisfying to play. Jacket is in great general condition but may show light ring wear. A NM with a name, punched hole or mark, is downgrade to EX. A NM with a light disk warp (often felt on the first song) ends up EX.
VG+: A VG+ record plays all the way with possible light background wear
A VG+ is still considered a great record. It plays well all the way with low surface noise mainly audible between tracks or on lighter songs. More frequently heard pops but not often. It's the vinyl feel! A NM with a light audible surface scratch can end up VG+. An EX with a light disk warp can end up VG+ too. Jacket shows light image deterioration, more apparent ring wear but is solid, and/or few more apparent bends,  a light bottom split (few inches max). A nice overall jacket with light moisture deterioration would end up VG+.
VG: A VG record plays with more apparent background noise and some light audible pops cause by light scratches.
Record wear is more visible and audible on a VG record. Background noise is heard but can still remain discrete on louder tracks.  There's some occasional pops cause by light surface scratches but won't skip (with our equipment). A clean record with an "heat damage"* or disk "warp"* (which often affects the first track of each sides mainly) or a disk warp enough to possibly skip at first song would end up VG. All those unusual defects are mentioned in our record detailed description.
G: Good doesn't mean bad but have general audible background noise on the play cause by wear
G is the lowest grade we have.  G grade is a record that have been played a lot and/or have not been well handle in it's long play life. Multiple light scratches caused by bad handling or excessive playtime on older/lower end equipment may have lead to this record condition. Light distortion sound may be heard occasionally on the most played tracks. Rare skipping are encountered on my records but could happened (and is mentioned) on this grade.

Selling lower then G grade would be only on rare hard to find LP or when there's another good benefit like a nice jacket or inner sleeve for example.*Heat damage: Heat damage is either caused at the pressing or by bad storage (behind radiator or sun reflection possibly). Its a damage that makes the needle move from right to left at a specific disk area, on the begging of the record. Consequence, a noise in the sound is heard at every turns which is fading as it goes. It is generally affects from 20% to 30% of the record's play length. On worst case, it can make the needle skips (with lightweight cartridges) and first track could possibly be considered partially or completely unplayable. In most encountered record with that defect, it played all the way (with our equipment) but with the noise mentioned for the length (in %) specified.

*Warp: Record warp is either caused at the pressing or by bad storage (behind radiator or sun reflection possibly). This anomaly makes the needle move up and down sinuously. There are many types of warp but on worst cases, the warp is sharp enough to make the needle jump (with lightweight cartridge). Unlike heat damages, a light warp have generally no consequences on the playback sound besides adding subsonic frequencies to the audio which is almost unnoticeable.                                                                                                                         Shipping information
