GRADING:

RED WAX LP Record: VG++ ~ EX – beautifully preserved copy with shiny & glossy surface. There can be sleeve lines detected but nothing deep or too serious and plays EX. Some faint crackle in between tracks. I detect a fingernail scuff on last track of side one that causes a few clicks upon playing, for the rest plays EX!

Flip back Jacket: Excellent ~ Near Mint – Perfectly preserved. Straight edges/ sharp corners and fully readable spine. No issues or damages. Top shape

Lyrics Insert: Near Mint

Comes also housed in first issue flip back sleeve designed for red wax LP – with “Ever Clean” credit printed on back….black wax issues do not have the “Ever Clean” credit and these are often used for this LP.

Our grading scale: Mint/ Near Mint/ Excellent/ VG++/. We don’t sell anything below VG++. VG++ grade is basically that the record has some scuffs and has wear. Excellent: record has hardly no visible defects and is preserved with care and attention, the condition most collectors take pride in to file away. Near Mint: a dash below mint, just perfect. Mint: like new.
