This Slick Rick LP, released in 1988 on Def Jam, is a must-have for any fan of rap and hip-hop. The 12" vinyl features the hit "Children's Story" and comes in a cardboard sleeve with the original cover. The record is in very good (VG) condition, and has been tested to ensure quality sound. The catalog number is C 40513 and the record label is Def Jam.

This LP is a true gem from the 1980s era of music, with the iconic Slick Rick delivering his signature flow and storytelling. The vinyl is black in color and the inlay is also in very good (VG) condition. This LP is a great addition to any vinyl collection, and is sure to impress any music lover.

The record was played and due to many fine scuffs and a couple of scratches there was crackling sound during play but did not overwhelm the music, the album cover has record cut on the spine edge, it does not have the original record paper sleeve, see photos for condition.

“Disclaimer”because all of my records are considered a used items and preowned and either it will state that they have been tested or not and graded by me visually or not under Goldmine standards for condition of records and album covers, they may have issues like scratches on the vinyl and wear down of the vinyl record, warping, and wear on album covers edges and front and back record impressions of album cover and separation of albums edge and dirty.  Record sleeves with folds, tears and yellowing and stains due to aging of paper, or missing paper sleeves, you are taking a chance on a vinyl LP that that is considered to be a used item and may or may not have these issues, if I find any issues with the records, I will stated it on the condition and description menu of may ebay web page sales ad. I will not sell any records that I consider worthless on sound Quilty. So if your vinyl record is not to your satisfaction, please do not give me a negative feedback, before contacting me first, so I can correct my mistake and I will be glad to  refund your money back no questions asked.

Thank you.

Very Good Plus (VG+)

Goldmine Standards 

Vinyl
Generally worth 50 percent of the Near Mint value. A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don?t affect one?s listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are ?OK?. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good  Plus record highly acceptable.

Very Good (VG)Vinyl

Generally worth 25 percent of Near Mint value. Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song?s intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them. Goldmine price guides with more than one price will list Very Good as the lowest price. This, not the Near Mint price, should be your guide when determining how much a record is worth, as that is the price a dealer will normally pay you for a Near Mint record.
