David Bowie - Diamond Dogs - RE Indianapolis RCA Victor - AFL1-0576 EX The record has been cleaned using ultrasonic technology and is in strong EX/EX condition; I know it's an Indianapolis Pressing, but it's not in a gatefold cover and so many of the etchings have been scratched out and replaced, not really sure what to make of it. The cover is very nice and crisp, only a VG+ because of age!
Record was initially cleaned manually, then ultrasonically cleaned with iSonic Sonic Cleaning prior to grading Grading description below, done with The Vinyl Archivist photo examples in mind - www.thevinylarchivist.com/catalogue/grading/ Records are packaged with a plastic sleeve, the LP is placed in a fresh white inner sleeve (we include the accompanying sleeve, we send you both), separate from the cover to protect the seams during shipment, and of course, shipped within inserts in a standard cardboard record mailer. We offer discounted shipping on multiple records: $7 for the first one and $2 for each additional oneSRO Records Record Grading Guide:

NM (Near Mint):

EX (Excellent):
Vinyl: Bright, with minor surface wear and hairlines, not affecting play.

Here's the typical SRO Records line in the sand. Anything below VG+, unless it's rare, unusual or just awesome, we're NOT going to sell online, much less go through the hassle of an ultrasonic cleaning, we're going to put it in one of many $10 Record boxes that we sell at Record Conventions and events. Some will wind up in the $1 Box, just to get it back out into the world for someone to enjoy or make a planter out of.
VG (Very Good):
Vinyl: Dull appearance with many hairlines and scuffs, plays with persistent noise but no skips.
Sleeve: Worn with possible seam splits and moderate ring wear.
