Songs of Leonard Cohen LP, original first pressing on Columbia label #CS 9533. Red center labels with "360 Sound", and no track times listed next to song titles. XSM118903-1C / XSM118904-1C stamped in the matrix area. Includes original folded lyric sheet. It had no inner sleeve so I put it into a new plain white sleeve.
Grading: 
Cover has ring wear on front and back covers. Corners are a little soft but sides and spine are solid, with no seam splits. There a small abrasion on the back cover on the left edge where it looks like it rubbed against something rough, but the area is less than 1 inch long and about 2mm at the widest point. Cover is graded VG+. 
Vinyl is a little dusty and would benefit from a good cleaning. Side 1 has a few light surface scuffs. Side 2 also has surface scuffs and a couple of dust lines are visible where the lyric sheet was in contact with the vinyl. Side 2 also has a tiny "chip" in track 1, about 1mm x 1mm. I looked at it with a magnifier and can't tell if it was a manufacturing defect or if it was damaged, but it appears to span about 4 grooves. Vinyl graded as VG for the "chip" otherwise it might be VG+. 

Please ask questions before bidding or buying. I can usually ship items the same day payment is received IF paid before 5:00 PM eastern time Monday - Friday or before 1:00 PM eastern time on Saturday. Payments received after shipping hours will go out the next day with the exception of Sunday & US Federal holidays.
Records are shipped via USPS media mail in a sturdy cardboard mailer with cardboard padding or bubble wrap. I remove records from outer sleeve to prevent splits (unless the record is sealed or if shipping bulk lots). If you would like me to ship an item using some other method besides media mail, or if you would like to insure your purchase, please ask before buying and I'll give you an estimate of the shipping cost. The seller’s responsibility ends when the item has been shipped. 
I try to accurately describe the records I sell but sometimes I make mistakes. I don't usually take returns (been burned too many times) but that doesn't mean I won't work with you if there's a problem. So if you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact me and let me try to correct the situation before leaving negative feedback. I don't clean records before shipping because collectors have their own preferred cleaning methods, but if I see excessive dust or fingerprints then I will note it in the item's description.
Condition Guide:
Mint (M): New, still sealed in shrink wrap. Cover is flawless. Vinyl is presumed to be mint.
Near Mint (NM): Like new. Vinyl appears to have never been played. Cover shows little, if any, wear.
Excellent (EX): Otherwise near mint but has slight cosmetic flaws that don't affect play. Close to perfect, with minor signs of wear or age. The cover might have light ring-wear or minor denting to a corner, but should look close to new.
Very Good Plus (VG+): The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve, a slight scratch that does not affect play, or some of the original luster may be lost. Cover may have some small bends, denting and ring wear, but there is no writing on it and the seams are intact.
Very Good (VG): Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise. Cover may have heavy ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains.
Good (G): Vinyl may have numerous scratches including heavy scratches that will tick, heavy surface noise. The cover might have large seam splits, tears, or writing on the cover that obscures the artwork.

Thanks for looking!
