PRINCE 1999 Complete Vinyl Record 2-LP Album Set / 1982 Warner Bros., Burbank, California / Catalog Number 23720-1
GRADING: [please refer to my grading system below] LP records = B Outer sleeve = B+
Clean and glossy LP surfaces play beautifully. Clean labels. The outer cover shows only very minor edge/corner/ring wear. No seam splits. This album is highly frameable. One of the better copies I have seen in recent years.
The original photo & lyrics inner sleeves are clean and bright. This LP album set has been encased in a quality Poly cover for years, and will be shipped with them. The actual records will be separated from the outer and inner sleeves during shipment to protect from tearing.
I grade both the LP records themselves, and just as importantly, the outer sleeves using my own system. Sometimes LP albums have great playing records but the outer covers are poor. Sometimes LP albums have poor records inside but the outer covers are great, and notable for their frameability.
VINYL LP GRADES:
A = Mint in original shrink-wrap, or near mint although it has been played. Both cases are rare.
B = Clean, glossy surface. Absolutely minimal "pops", static, and scuffs. Label is clean and unmarked.
C = Surface shows some scuffing and may need cleaning but still plays decently. Label may have marks.
D = Surface is scratched and more heavily scuffed. Plays through but not without more noticeable "pops".
F = Vinyl is warped (but still may play through) and is noticeably dusty/dirty/scratched.
RECORD COVER GRADES:
A = Mint in original shrink-wrap, or has been in a clear Mylar cover since new. Near mint. No ring wear.
B = Clean, glossy cover with very minimal ring wear, corner bumps, edgewear and/or seam wear.
C = Clean cover without marks, names, labels, etc. No corner-cuts, hole-punches, or remainder marks. Some noticeable ring wear.
D = Cover is dirty, marked and/or torn. Heavy corner/edge wear. Heavy ring wear. Has some inkings, labels or remainder marks.
F = Damaged, faded, and/or heavily marked cover. Ripped and/or detached seams. Heavy ring wear and/or remainder marks.
