Blues Brothers Band live in Montreux original vinyl LP. VG+

Rare, hard to find on vinyl, produced in 1990 when vinyl was in its decline.

The record is in VG+ condition, verging on excellent. Shiny with a couple of barely visible marks.

The Cover is also VG+ but shows some signs of shelf wear. A ring mark and some subtle creases but spine fully intact, no tears, tape, stickers etc.

I can testify to this album having only been played a handful of times since I bought it in 1990.

***********************************************************
Grading Vinyl Disc Condition

MINT
Records that qualify as Mint should be in flawless, essentially brand new condition. These records should be unplayed and will still carry the original factory seal in most cases. Mint records are rare on the used market and if you’re unsure about whether your record qualifies or not, it most likely falls in the Near Mint or Very Good Plus bracket.

NEAR MINT
Right below Mint comes Near Mint, which is still in pristine, like-new condition but will be unsealed and maybe played a few times. To qualify as Near Mint, the record should still be fresh and glossy, with absolutely no visible marks, warps, blemishes or auditory imperfections of any kind.

VERY GOOD PLUS
Very Good Plus records (sometimes termed as “Excellent”) will carry very light scratches, warps, or other signs of use but nothing that affects the audio quality or playability of the disc. These are usually records that have been played as part of a collection, but not to the point where they could be considered at all worn out. Very Good Plus records may showcase some wear around the label or center hole, but still play and sound close to Near Mint records, save for perhaps some very mild background noise between tracks.

VERY GOOD
The Very Good designation is where visible and audible imperfections on a record become more apparent. Very Good records still play through without any drastic skips or other playback issues. Surface noise will be present (especially between tracks) along with other audible indications that the record has indeed been used, but nothing too overwhelming. Very Good records typically show visible markings, scratches, and other blemishes. Some of these will be audible on playback as well, but again nothing that would distract the listener from the music at any particular point.

GOOD PLUS
Like Very Good, Good Plus records will exhibit cosmetic imperfections with some surface noise, pops, and crackles present during playback. The record will play without skipping, but there will be audible noise, along with some visible wear along the grooves, edges, center hole, and other areas of the disc.

GOOD
Records in Good condition are defined as showing definite wear and tear, though are still able to play all the way through without skipping. These are records that have seen significant use in their lifetime and with visible scars to show it. If buying a record in just Good condition, you should anticipate consistent noise during playback with noticeable scratches and other blemishes throughout the surface of the disc.

FAIR
Unlike Good condition records, fair records may not play all the way through. These discs will be very noticeably warped, cracked, or otherwise damaged. They should still produce sound and play for the most part, but not without significant levels of noise and skips in the playback.

POOR
As the lowest grade on the scale, the Poor condition category is where legitimately unplayable or nearly unplayable and broken records will fall. During playback, these records will likely skip continuously with loud noise present throughout. If you have a record that is barely listenable, it likely deserves the Poor designation.

Grading Vinyl Sleeves & Packaging

MINT
Record sleeves in Mint condition should be as though they came from the factory. Mint sleeves and packaging will be free from bends, marks or other imperfections, and in many cases will still carry the original factory seal.

NEAR MINT
Near Mint sleeves are still shiny and fresh as though they have never been opened. They may showcase very mild markings or signs of use, but with nothing noticeably amiss on the sleeve, liner notes, or any other packaging material.

VERY GOOD PLUS
Sleeves in Very Good Plus condition will show some signs of use, with perhaps some mild tears along the edges, scratches, or signs of folding on the corners. Overall though, the sleeve is still totally intact and housing the disc 100%.

VERY GOOD
Sleeves and packaging in Very Good condition will show signs of real use, with some tears, or perhaps tape, stickers, or writing from previous owners. While not the point of posing any risk to the disc itself, Very Good sleeves will be noticeably worn at least on a cosmetic level.

GOOD PLUS
Good plus sleeves exhibit real imperfections such as tears along the spine and perforation or “ring wear” along the edges of the disc on the front of the packaging. Overall, the sleeve should still be intact though may be in want of some additional reinforcement.

GOOD
Good condition sleeves at a minimum still do their job of housing the disc. They will, however, certainly exhibit obvious imperfections with seam splitting, folds on the corners, scratches, tears, and perhaps tape or sticker residue.

FAIR
Sleeves in Fair or lower condition may be at the point where they are no longer doing their job of protecting the record. These sleeves will show significant wear and tear, discoloration, and breaks at different points of the structure.

POOR
Sleeves in Poor condition will be legitimately falling apart. The color will have faded and there may even be mold or water damage present. If dealing with a Poor condition sleeve, it is likely worth rehousing the record in a generic white sleeve, perhaps saving the original cover separately.

GENERIC
For records that have been separated from their original packaging, a generic white sleeve or liner is a common stand-in.

NO COVER
If the record does not have a cover, we recommend purchasing a generic white sleeve to protect it in storage or on your shelf, or for shipping purposes. At a minimum you can get a white paper sleeve, but generic cardboard cases are also a good bet.
