Description:  This is the first press version by EPIC (yellow label).  The album plays like brand new!  There are 1-2 surface marks generating a final grade of VG+! Sleeve has light cover and edge wear.  Final grade is VG+.

Grade:  VG+

Please read entire item description above and notes below before bidding/buying impulsively, as there may be a specific mention of detail or wear on the vinyl that you may not have had the time to read about, yet, I have described.  My goal is a happy transaction!

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:  Surface marks can be smudges or light scratches.  I do not consider these less than VG+ unless they affect the sound.  Please be comfortable if you receive one from me with them, these are used records.  I don't sell records which skip.

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.  Please look at pictures I include.  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:  Generic covers are well-made jackets with a circle viewing window.  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 nor grade 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 for this set are below:

Mint (M) Vinyl - Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. Inserts/Sleeves: Perfect 

(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.  

(VG) - In a VG record surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a songs intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. 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.

(G/G+) A vinyl in Good or Good Plus condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.  

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.
