Original unpeeled copy of the Beatles "Butcher" album in 2nd state condition. "Cynthia" wrote on the cover but she took good care of the LP inside. Please note my feedback: I am an experienced seller of shellac 78rpm records with many satisfied customers. I do not generally sell vinyl records, and as such I am asking you, the prospective buyer, to look carefully at the photos so that you can determine the grading for yourself: I grade carefully and responsibly, but there are differences between the formats so please make certain that you are satisfied that your own eyes are telling you what it is that you're seeing. I've done my best to give you good photographic reproductions so that you may assess the condition with some reasonable level of accuracy....as far as the record itself, it has a strong shine with no signs of heavy wear: very minor scuffs but nothing beyond that. Dust and fingerprints on the surface and since vinyl is different from shellac I'll leave it to the buyer to clean. I've listened to samples of each track and it sounds great, no significant wear that I can ascertain. The photos are lit to emphasize the great condition of the grooves, which makes the surface dust appear heavier than it actually is: in person, the record has a nice dark lustre.  I use a 1970s turntable (Technics SL-1900 with a Shure Hi-Track microgroove stylus) and the music reproduced with clarity. Experienced record collector/seller: everything on my end will be done properly to ensure your satisfaction.  I grade conservatively and according to VJM standards. I pack and ship safely: boarded sandwiches floated in ample packing material within 14x14 boxes.
