Vinyl in perfect shape. Outer sleeve still in shrink (shrink has a split
and is a little loose) with price stickers. Includes gray envelope with
all 4 prints in mint shape.
Please ask any
questions before bidding or buying. All records are visually inspected
unless otherwise noted. If you have any particular shipping requests,
please ask before bidding.
I ship records in professional cardboard mailers sandwiched between
stiffeners. The records are shipped outside the outer sleeves but
within a plastic sleeve. I do combine shipping; see my other auctions.
In the U.S., it’s $5.25 media for the first LP and $1 for each LP
thereafter.
If you are buying multiple
items and want combined shipping, buy the records but don’t pay for
them before requesting a new invoice from me in which I’ll include the
shipping discount.
If you have question about international shipping, contact me.
Grading scale:
Near mint (NM)
NM records are shiny, with no visible defects. Writing, stickers or
other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any “spindle marks”
from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. Major
factory defects also must be absent; a record and label obviously
pressed off center is not Near Mint. If played, it will do so with no
surface noise. (NM records don’t have to be “never played”; a record
used on an excellent turntable can remain NM after many plays if the
disc is properly cared for.) NM covers are free of creases, ring wear
and seam splits of any kind.
Very good plus (VG+)
VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs
or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience.
Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of
handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole,
but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very
light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely
noticeable.VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might
have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at
the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have
some defacing, such as a cut-out marking.
Very good (VG)
VG records can lack some of the original gloss found on factory-fresh
records. Groove wear can be evident, as are light scratches. When
played, a VG record can have surface noise, and some scratches may be
audible, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and
ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise.VG covers
will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear can possibly be
obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible.
Seam splitting could be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides,
though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written on
it or stamped a price tag on it, too.
Good (G)
Good does not mean bad! The record still plays through without
skipping. But it could have significant surface noise or groove wear,
and the label could be worn, with significant ring wear, heavy writing,
or obvious damage caused by someone trying to remove tape or stickers
and failing miserably. A Good cover can have ring wear to the point of
distraction, can have seam splits obvious on sight and may have even
heavier writing.
