ONCE in a galaxy find! Owning this record you'll feel better than a droid in an oil bath! Here we have:
The Story of Star Wars - Original Cast And The London Symphony Orchestra With Narration By Roscoe Lee Brown
...AND IT'S STILL SEALED
Notes on This Pressing:
20th Century Fox Records T-550 **IN ADDITION to T-550 catalog number, there is a sticker under shrink wrap that gives the number T-750. I have not seen this on ANY OTHER COPY online or IRL. Gatefold w/ book inside FACTORY SEALED 1977 Vinyl is SEALED so obviously MINT in there. If NOT, take that up with George Lucas, not me. Jacket is NM- with only very minor wear to corners, it *is* nearing 50 years old after all. Shrink wrap has a few tiny holes, but no large tears. There is also an old (possibly original) store sticker in top right corner.
Please note, I grade conservatively and by the Goldmine standard, here is what you can expect...
For the MINT vinyl - Completely sealed. Never played. I *only* use the grading of MINT for records which have never been played.
For the NM- Jacket - A sleeve / jacket should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects.
***WITH ALL THIS SAID if you have a Crosley or other budget turntable that comes in a suitcase, there is a chance with this, and every record really, that the tone arm, being the weak little thing it is, might bounce off, this is not a sign of a deficient record, this is an issue with the turntable. If you encounter this problem a penny taped to the top of the head of your tone arm generally fixes that right up.***
Please see pictures & let me know if you have any questions.
