ALL ALBUMS PROVIDED IN A PROTECTIVE SLEEVE

Description:  Groundbreaking jazz-funk album - one of the best-selling jazz recordings and the first to go platinum.  

Album plays like NM-!  The vinyl has a few surface marks generating a final grade of VG+!  Sleeve has some shelf wear.  

Grade:  VG+

Please read entire item description above before bidding/buying impulsively, as there may be a specific mention of detail or wear on the vinyl or cover that I have described above that you may not have had the time to read about, yet, I have described

Play-Testing:  I test my Records by playing them completely through unless NM or Sealed (in order to protect their quality) before listing.

Surface Marks:  I do not get dissuaded by surface scratches or "hairline" scratches on vinyl, that does not mean the Record skips so please be comfortable if you receive one from me with them - as the Records are previously owned.

Record Covers:  I try and grade covers and records as one set but oftentimes the cover may not be in as good of a condition as the record.  I will provide two grades if significant in my description above. Extremely damaged original covers are not for sale and are replaced with Generic covers.

Generic Record Covers:  I do not show pictures of record covers unless I have them in the condition seen.  The covers are well-made jackets with a viewing circle window for ease of viewing the record while in it's cover.  They are as pictured and in most cases glossy black.  My Records with generic covers are usually VG+ or better with very few graded as VG.  These are often times hidden gems at great prices!!

Inner Sleeves:  I do not mention these unless they have specific characteristics.  I provide a replacement inner sleeve if the one I have has extensive damage.

Grading:  The detailed grading I use is Goldmine Standard/eBay Standard. Descriptions are below:

(NM-) - A nearly perfect Record. A record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback.  Sleeves/Inserts should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. 

(VG+) 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. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. 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. Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.  

Satisfaction Guarantee:  If you are unhappy, I offer a return period. I also encourage you to contact me via email if you find the record is not as I represented.
