Malcolm X - Message To The Grass Roots

 

Label: Charisma Records

Catalog Number: MX-100

Mono

 

Media: VG (strong)

Sleeve: VG+

 

Notes: Playtested all the way through, no skips. Strong VG grade for media. Historic speech. 

 

Albums come cleaned (VPI 16.5 vacuum cleaner - Tergikleen followed by distilled water wash) and protected in a new outer sleeve with media in a separate plastic sleeve. I package carefully and ship in new or previously used but good condition LP mailers with the record outside of the original cardboard sleeve.  

 

Will combine shipping.


Grading System Used*:

M - Sealed, presumed mint.

NM - Open but appears unplayed.

EX - Minimal light surface scuffs; these have been played, but very well cared for.

VG+ - Light scratches or scuffs which are not audible (i.e., no clicks or pops from these visible defects). 

VG - Light scratches, some surface noise (i.e., scratch that may cause a click, etc).

G - Lots of scuffs and light scratches with resultant surface noise present through majority of recording.


*NB: I visually grade all records. I fully playgrade all records listed at over $40. I playgrade everything else at a minimum for the first 2 minutes on each side and on any tracks with concerning scratches. I sometimes get things wrong (based on my prior 6 months of sales, this is <1%). This is a hobby, but I take it seriously. If you are unhappy, I would like to correct things. No misgrading is intentional and I will work to correct errors when necessary, but you must contact me for this to be done.
