To my best & honest ability, this album grading falls in to this range.
Artist & Album Title: Donovan Cosmic Wheels
Year, Label, Edition# (printed on
album): 1973 Epic KE32156. Contain 24” diameter Donovan Poster.
Record Grading (per Goldmine
website): NM (Mirror shiny, no visual
scratches when looking into a light). I
listened to this LP twice.
Cover Grading: NM /Ex+. Satin flat
cover. Gatefold album. Insignificant wear from shelf storage.
Record Gradings: To my best & 100% honest ability, these album grading’s (per Goldmine website) fall in to these ranges. I look into a light for scratches/scuffs and set the LP down to check for any warpage. The last time I listened to my LP’s was in 1998 and they played well. I have a Bang-Olufsen Turntable, changed expensive diamond needles every few years, and balanced the clean needle that allowed for the absolute minimal force on a record groove. I sell my LP’s as is since I cannot control differences in other’s turntables/needle care or performance.
Record History & Storage Care: I no longer listen to my vinyl records and decided to sell my entire personal collection. Very hard decision for me. I started collecting records 1973. 95% of all my records were purchased NEW from Korvettes, Hudsons, Dearborn Music, Repeat the Beat, Record Outlet, Tower Records, or Schoolkid Records (all in the Detroit/Ann Arbor area). For over 40 years, my records have been stored on a vertical shelving unit. Whatever outside cover wear exists, it is from sliding the records in/out from storage. They have never been stored in an attic.
Record Care-Handling-Selling Criteria: My life’s record care was immaculate and I never touched any of my record grooves. I’ve always handled my albums with my right thumb on the record edge and my fingers by the center hole. Whenever I did listen to my albums, I used the Discwasher Record Care System. I never stacked record-on-record, and always put the vinyl back into its sleeve after listening to it.
Packaging & Shipping: I make my own
sturdy cardboard shipping packages & place the record(s) in large oversized
acid-free sleeves/bags, and also wrapped in paper with 2 additional cardboard
panels. I seal & protect the package
with several layers of industrial tape, and highlight orange “DO NOT BEND” on
the package.
