Listing for: ELMORE JAMES: Blues After Hours
Vinyl is Strong VG. Play Tested. Plays nicely, vinyl has light marks and hairlines. Cover is VG. Small tear on spine.
All of my sealed records are guaranteed factory sealed and never resealed or tampered with.

I base my grading (for non sealed records) on play testing each record and looking at the record carefully. I try to grade conservatively and to describe beyond the simple grade (i.e. background noise, pops, etc.)

If you’re unhappy for any reason please let me know.


I USE THE FOLLOWING GRADES FOR VINYL:

Sealed: Cover Jacket is sealed in shrink wrap, disc is sold “as is” and is not inspected

NM: Near perfect with no visible signs of handling

EX : No scratches. Very few light imperfections that won’t affect the overall sound

VG+ : May have sleeve scuffs, light marks and/or a couple of light scratches, but the record plays well

VG : Displays a number of light marks and/or scratches. May have background noise, especially in between songs.

VG- : At least one mark/scratch of which can be felt with a fingernail. Many scratches, scuffs, marks. May have background noise, pops, etc.

G: Heavy wear, marks, scratches scuffs. This record has background noise, pops, etc.

I USE THE FOLLOWING GRADES FOR COVERS:

NM: Near perfect with no visible signs of handling

EX: Looks almost perfect, but may have a couple of imperfections after closer inspection. May have a small saw cut, punch hole or cut corner.

VG+: Typically has a few imperfections such as slight creasing or slight ring wear, or slight wear from storage. Very slight seam wear or splits in the spine. May have saw cut, punch hole or corner cut.

VG: More pronounced wear than VG+. Perhaps several scuffs, scratches on the cover and more prominent spine wear and/or ring wear. Might have noticeable staining, saw cut, punch hole, or cut.

VG-: Similar to VG, but may have one or more significant flaws such as heavy spine splitting or heavy staining, scuffing, etc. Might have saw cut, punch hole, or corner cut.

G: Heavy wear, marks, scratches, staining, spine damage.



I package in a proper record mailer with the vinyl in a paper sleeve outside of the cover in between two cardboard inserts. For sealed records I place into a clear sleeve and sandwich between two pieces of cardboard. If you have any special requests just let me know.

Take a look at the pictures and let me know if you have any questions.

If you prefer priority just let me know and I’ll adjust the invoice before you pay. I package carefully and securely.   Feel free to contact me with any questions. I do combine shipping.  I accept paypal.  Sorry, but I can not ship outside of the U.S. for this item. IL customers add 8% sales tax. Thanks for looking.


I purchase vinyl record and baseball card collections.
