Here is an original 1988 canadian vinyl album of Gerry Boulet, former member and leader of Offenbach. This album includes a lyrics inner sleeve.
Visual grading (conservative)
Mint (M)
Vinyl
Absolutely perfect. Physicaly impossible. Of course, I will not use this grade
Cover
Same as vinyl
NM
Vinyl
No scratches, scuffs or other obvious defects. Very clean
Cover
Almost perfect. Great-looking.
NM-
Vinyl
An almost pristine looking record with, perhaps, one or two very faint scuffs or barely visible needlemarks (hairline)
Cover
Very minor sign of wear, which will be specified in the listing
VG++ (Exc)
Vinyl
Almost as good as NM-, but a few more faint scuffs and/or very light surface needlemarks.
Cover
No split seams, some minor signs of wear like faint ring wear or little seam wear. Still pretty good-looking
VG+
Vinyl
More surface light scratches or/and scuffs, with minor consequences
Cover
A bit more wear than a VG++, such as a moderate ring wear or/and seam wear. Maybe one very partially split seam (max: approx. 1").
VG
Vinyl
A good-looking record with more scuffs and/or scratches that are more audible (including some background noise), but do not overwhelm the listening experience
Cover
Minor split seams, perhaps some writing, tape, sticker, ring wear. Looks used, but is still a good-looking cover.
Each time, I try to make a various selection of vinyl (vinyle) 33t rpm / 45 rpm (30 cm) LP (Long Play) / 12" which includes many styles of music (progressive, alternative, psych, funk breaks, jazz, rock, bossa scat, blues, folk, R&B, soul, disco, french canadian, etc...) SO DON'T FORGET TO LOOK AT MY OTHER AUCTIONS !!!!!!
PAYMENTI only accept PayPalTHE CONDITION IS VISUAL ONLY. I ONLY CHECK THE BEGINNING OF EACH SIDE AND THE SURFACE MARKS (IF APPLICABLE) THAT MEAN SUSPECTED TO ME. I UNFORTUNATELY DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO ALL THE FULL ALBUMS, SORRY.
SHIPPING AND HANDLING I use appropriate cardboard mailer and padding.
MULTIPLE PURCHASES MAY BE COMBINED TO REDUCE SHIPPING AND HANDLING COST
For shipping in Canada, it depends on the postal code. As the surface mail brings too much troubles for the buyer and the seller, the USA and International shippings are now only offered by air. For several reasons (often absent from home, difficulties with previous pick-up arrangements, etc...) for now on, I don't accept pick-up arrangement. No exception.
Pour les envois au Canada, le coût de livraison dépends du code postal. Comme les envois internationaux de surface causent de nombreux problèmes quant à l'intégrité des colis, les expéditions se feront par avion seulement. Pour plusieurs raisons (souvent absent, difficile à rejoindre, etc...), je n'accepte plus maintenant la livraison directement en main propre, sans exception.
IMPORTANT : Honesty is a real value for me. So, if you think this purchase doesn't respect the description made (as I can't listen completely all the records, the evaluation is occasionnaly visual only, so, an error is always possible), PLEASE contact me in a reasonable delay max 14 days) for a full refund including shipping
