Journey Self Titled LP 1978 Columbia 34912 Original Press EX+ vinyl CLEAN!! #445.

VINYL GRADE: EX+

SLEEVE GRADE: EX+

PRESSING: AL 34912

Vinyl is glossy with almost no surface wear and very light scuff. Strong jack with clear spine. Plays amazingly clean with almost no surface noise

This record is from a large 600+ private collection of mostly classic rock. Every record I have tested from this Lot has very clean, quiet and clear playback and most appear good as new. The collector told me he mostly taped his records to Cassette and seldom played the LP after taping. Many are near mint and look unplayed. PM me if you have any requests, and please see my other listings for more of these gems.

Record will be shipped outside of jacket in a new plastic, rice paper or paper sleeve, both in a new plastic outer sleeve, as shown in last picture

Records will be shipped in cardboard records mailers via USPS media mail.  Please see other auctions. We have purchased multiple lots of used records and have lots more listings coming. Combined shipping is available for all records and media mail purchased. Please send a message and we will be happy to arrange for a much lower shipping rate for multiple purchases.

Record grading: Below are details of how records are graded. Records are graded conservatively and follow Gold Mine's grading standard. The vinyl grade is first followed by the sleeve grade. If there is a noticeable mark on the record, there will be a picture in the description following the picture of that side of the record. So, first will be a picture of the vinyl side A or B, then will be a closer picture of whatever flaw there is taken in a brighter, more direct light. Most flaws look more significant in the bright lighting then they really are to the records play. Sleeve grading is a bit more evident in the picture itself.

Grades are as follows:

SS: Still sealed: Record is in its original seal and has not been played.

NM- Near Mint Minus. The highest grade I will give a used record. Shiny surface free from any visibile mark. The only thing better is a new record in sealed shrink wrap.

EX Excellent. Used to differentiate a record just barely not mint. Will have only one visible flaw that is certain to not effect playback.

VG++ Very good plus plus; A great record that will have a very minimal amount of light visual marks on the disc with little to no effect on the sound

VG+: Very good plus. The record has been played regularly and is showing minor signs of wear . Surface marks are evident and there will be minor audible clicks and pops

VG: Very good. A well played, average record with more visibile surface wear than above grades. Will have audible clicks, pops and surface noise but will play through without skips.

VG- : Very good minus. Deeper more apparent scratches or scuffs that will effect the play of the record, but will still play through without skips or interruption. The lowest grade I would list unless the record is particularly rare.

G: Good. Heavy wear, deeper scratches and noticcable sound quality deterioration, possibly with distortion, loud clicks, and pops. Possibly skipping.
