Hotel California (Eagles) with original poster

Vinyl Condition:  NM (No marks it’s perfect)

Cover Condition: NM

My albums are from my own private collection in a non-smoking environment.  They were never handled by children and were stored vertically in upright position to avoid warping.  Most of my albums were only played once to make a cassette tape, if they were played more than once it was a rarity.  I have over 1000 albums, if there something you’re looking for feel free to contact me.  If I have what you are looking for I will be glad to list it on e-bay.

Records are shipped in cardboard box record mailer for protection.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Buy with confidence, my feedback tells it all.  Thanks for looking.

Record Castle Grading Standards

VINYL:

Near Mint (NM)
This is the highest grade used by Record Castle for an unsealed item. "Mint" is not used as a grade because, without a microscope and 40 minutes of inspection per record, perfection cannot be verified to everyone's satisfaction. Near Mint ranges from a record appearing unused, to an item that may have been used, but is without a notable cosmetic defect as evidence of that use.

Excellent (EX)
This grade refers to an attractive, fresh-in-appearance item that, upon closer inspection, has been disqualified from the NM category due to (usually) one flaw that could not be overlooked.

Very Good Plus (VG+)
This is the broadest grade serving as a catch-all for any decent, presentable, average, usable (not marred or defective) item. People ordering VG+ items usually are prepared to accept an imperfect item representing the artifact that it is, and are going to enjoy it without being excessively preoccupied with cosmetic details. VG+ is a fine copy that is indisputably "used", being your basic "decent used record" for utilitarian purposes. .

Very Good (VG)
This is the beginning of "rough" for collector's purposes. A VG record is usually one that a collector will buy to fill a "hole" in his/her library until a better copy comes along. We usually don't advertise items with either VG covers or discs unless they are deemed scarce enough to attract a collector for this purpose.

COVER:

Near Mint (NM)
Perfect condition - no flaws

Excellent (EX)
Beautiful condition - almost new - may have slight fading, light bends or corner dings. NO holes.

Very Good (VG+)
A nice item with light wear - may have a light crease or a few clean tack holes

Very Good (VG)
A vintage item in decent shape but shows it's age - may have folds / stains / multiple tack holes / chipped edges

Good (G)
Severe damage - but is listed as it's a rare item
