Crowded House Self Titled 1986 VG+ LP Capitol ST-12485 SRC "Wally" Pressing Hype
A great playing copy of this original 1986 Specialty Record Corp. "Wally" pressing Crowded House release. The cover has the hype sticker on the front shrink; the back cover is about half covered in shrink and there are some white spots on the bottom left - see photo 3. I did not try to clean the spots off of the cover. Please review all the photos and condition description.
I ran an online record business from the 90's until 2008, I have several thousand records left that I will be selling. Vinyl records are visually graded based around the Goldmine standard - see below for details. I also spot play grade every record, paying particular attention to any defect I see that may affect sound reproduction. I will provide a grade for the cover and record, not the inner sleeve; nor will I guarantee that the inner sleeve is original to the record unless specifically noted. All records will ship in a clear plastic cover. Records are dusted but not professionally cleaned; I recommend a thorough cleaning prior to playing.
I do not believe in grading an opened item as mint, so the best grade I will give is near mint, and I don't often use this grade. If you don't agree with the grading of this item and wish to return it, I would appreciate it if you would contact me within 7 days of receipt. Other than grading errors, all sales are final.
Grading scale:
NM: very minor visual blemishes, no sound defect; rarely used EX: minor visual defects, more noticeable surface mar but should play great VG+: more noticeable blemishes to cover but not too distracting, minor surface noise possible on quiet passages or track leadin but overall an enjoyable listening experience VG: this grade is not really 'very good'. More visual and audio defects, but cover is intact albeit with noticeable ringwear or seam split or edge/corner damage and record will have more visual defects and audible noise, but won't detract much from your listening experience G: record with his grade would be a placeholder until you can find a better copy. Lousy cover, very noisy but plays through with no skips. P: junk
