SIGNED BY 4 BARBERSHOP QUARTET CHICAGO NEWS 801-32 VTG 1ST RECORD 1978 MINT/EX+
This is the first album released by The Chicago News, A Barbershop Quartet. It is signed by each member.
Vinyl Grading System, in accordance with the Goldmine’s Standard Record Grading Guidelines.
SS Still Sealed
M New, absolutely perfect, usually still sealed.
NM/M- Nearly Mint, with no obvious signs of wear. Sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling. Jacket should have no creases, folds, seam splits, or any other noticeable similar defect. It basically looks like it was just bought and brought home and opened, played maybe once.
EX/VG+ Shows signs that it was played, but otherwise carefully handled. Record surface may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don’t affect one’s listening experience. Slight warps that don’t affect the sound are okay. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole should not be misshapen from repeated play. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight ring wear, some turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP Jacket can have slight signs of wear also, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or corner indicating it was taken out of print or sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong, this album would be near mint.
VG Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially during intro and fades, but will not otherwise overpower the music. Groove wear and light scratches will be noticeable and affect the sound. Labels may be marked with writing, tape, or stickers attached.
G+/G It will have significant wear but will play through without skipping. It will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A jacket or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the LP.
