Visually Graded: The vinyl appears brand new at first glance. Closer inspection shows a few tiny, minor blemishes (EX). There is just some very faint wear showing on the back cover and it's also in Excellent condition.
Buying and collecting records should be fun. As a collector myself, I understand the frustration and disappointment that comes with things like inaccurate grading, shoddy packaging and other issues. This is why I guarantee my grades and the quality of the records I sell. If you are not happy with your purchase I will provide you with a full refund and pay any costs associated with returning the item, no questions asked.
If there are any problems with your order, please, contact me as soon as possible so the issue can be resolved prior to leaving negative or neutral feedback. Record grading can be tricky and some records play differently on different turntables.
Thank you for checking out my listing!

My Record Grading System:
Mint (M)
This record is absolutely perfect in every way. It has never been played and is still sealed.
Near Mint (NM or M-)
This record is nearly perfect. It plays perfectly with virtually no imperfections or surface noise. The record shows no obvious signs of wear or visible defects and is nice and shiny. It looks like it just came from a retail store and was opened for the first time. There is no writing, stickers or other markings on the label, nor are there any spindle marks. The label is centered. Major factory defects are absent. The cover has no creases, folds, ring wear, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable defects.
Excellent (EX)
Except for a couple minor things, this record would be Near Mint. The vinyl remains nice and glossy. It shows some signs that it has been played but it has been well taken care of. There are a few cosmetic defects that do not affect the actual playback. It shows some signs of wear with slight scuffs and some very light scratches. There may be a slight warp but it does not affect the sound. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it's barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present.
The LP cover shows slight signs of wear such as a cut-out hole, indentation or cut corner. It may show some very light ring wear but it is barely noticeable. The sleeve and inner sleeves may have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners or a slight seam split less than one inch long.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
This record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. May show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". Its audio may have slight background crackle.
Jacket and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split of less than 1 inch. Cover may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.
Very Good (VG)
This record has some obvious flaws. It may lack most of the original gloss. Groove wear may be evident on sight. There may be some light scratches than can be felt with your fingernail. When played, this record may have some surface noise and some scratches that are audible, especially in soft passages and during the song’s intro and ending. The noise does not overpower the music, however. The label may have some writing on it.
Good (G)
This record can be played through without skipping. It can have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. The cover may have some seam splits, especially at the bottom and on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear may be present. Noticeable surface noise and "ticks" are present.
