Here is the double LP "The Blueprint" by Jay-Z,  Roc-A-Fella 314 586 396-1, stereo, 2001.  Promo sticker on back of sleeve.  Listing more rap/hip hop LP's and 12" singles, save on shipping!    

Vinyl is VG++/VG++ - A couple light scuffs on A side of 2nd LP, probably played once or twice, if at all.  Labels look VG++.

Sleeve is VG++/VG+ - Some light wear to corners, slight album imprint.  Gatefold.  Plain white inserts, includes lyric inserts, VG++.  

As a collector, I try to provide as much information and a description of each record’s condition as possible.  Unless a sound sample is posted (always of the record you are bidding on), records are graded visually.  My grading system is as follows:

M – Mint – Unopened or just opened.  I very rarely use this grade, I reserve it for the most pristine copies.

NM (+&-) – Near Mint – Record has been treated with care.  Free of notable scratches or abrasions.  Label is generally in great condition.   

VG++ (or EX) – Very Good ++ - May have a couple light surface scratches or scuffs, but is very listenable and should not disturb play.  Label may have slight wear, writing or marks.

VG (+&-) – Very Good – May have more than a few light scratches or a couple heavier scratches or scuffs.  May play with some crackling, but not enough to overpower the music.  Sleeve may have a seam split, ring wear, writing, etc.

G (+&-)– Good – Record may have multiple scratches or small gouge(s).  May have significant crackling that may overpower the music, but still listenable.  Label may be torn.

F (+&-) – Fair – Record has significant damage.

 I do accept returns for a full refund if the record is broken, not the one you purchased, or grossly misrepresented.  If you are unsatisfied with your order, PLEASE contact me before mailing the record back or leaving negative feedback.  I cannot be responsible, however, for items lost in transit or in customs, so please be aware of the customs processes’ in your country and consider insurance if this is a concern.
