This item is not for sale. Gripsweat is an archive of past sales and auctions, none of the items are available for purchase.

I am doing a few different record drops in the coming weeks. The first drop offers indie/alternative/punk/new wave records from the 70s to the 90s. I have tons of first pressings from groups such as The Smiths, Joy Division / New Order, Bauhaus, The Cure, Gang of Four, Jawbreaker and many others. I also have a US first press of the Melvins’ Houdini. Lots of amazing and classic records for sale. Good luck with the bids!

Press Info: 1st UK Presses

12"

Vinyl Grade: VG- 

Sounds really good. Playback is pretty solid and clean considering it has many marks and hairlines. Hear the issues occasionally but overal playback sounds really nice. Visually VG-- but still plays exceptionally clean considering

 Some slight wear and marks. Middle spine seam wear and has slightly peeled. Looks fairly good overall.

Inner sleeve has a prominent bottom middle seam split. Some crease bends

7"

Vinyl Grade: VG+ 

2 obvious scratches that dont affect play on A side. Some slight wear but looks good and plays well

Cover Grade: VG+ 

Some sticker residue but looks solid

*All records will include a new inner sleeve and plastic outer sleeve 

**For records that include a 7”, I don’t have any new inner sleeves. I will be sending them in older plastic sleeves I was personally using. The record will be placed outside of the cover in the plastic sleeve.

GRADING SCALE: 

(Records are graded from sight)

SEALED / MINT - Record jacket is sealed. Disc is sold ?as-is.?

NM - Super clean record with basically no imperfections. Appears unplayed or barely played at all. I’d use this rating infrequently

EX - Basically either spotless visually or sounds extremely clean. 

VG++ - Has extremely few light marks. Very clean

VG+ - Has some imperfections, such as hairlines or scuff, but looks clean and plays well

VG - Similar to VG+ but has more imperfections. Records VG and up will not typically have any scratches deep enough to be felt. 

VG- - Fair amount of imperfections or scratches that may affect playability. 

VG-- - Plethora of scratches scattered throughout. Literally scratches/hairlines everywhere.

G - Imperfections and scratches throughout including scratches that cause playback issues and can be felt. 

*These records were only visually graded!! I do at times give them a quick listen so that I can give you an idea of the item you arre receiving I will mention in the description if I gave the record a quick listen

**I dont grade records considering the spindle marks. I might not even mention it but if it catches my eye I will mention so. If that is an issue for you, ask ahead of time.
