Classic Records 2007 audiophile reissue on QUIEX SV-P 200 gram vinyl. Long out of print and hard to find these days.  Classic Records and Chris Bellman did an outstanding job with this pressing, really nice pressing.  Bought new and stored upright in a 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeve in a smoke-free environment.  Played only 2-3 times for digital archiving.  Really nice copy.
EX cover is clean with no markings, still in Classic Records outer sleeve.  Spine and edges are strong, but there are the beginnings of a seam split at top middle edge (photo). Corners are strong and sharp with no wear.  So close to NM, but the early seam split has to drop the grading.  Still an outstanding cover.   NM insert is clean with no markings, tears or creases.  Corners are strong and sharp with no wear.  Very nice. NM 200 gram vinyl has one long scuff on side 1.  This is a surface scuff only, but I still play-tested with headphones to make sure and heard no audio imperfections.  Side 2 has no visible marks or scuffs.  Nice copy.

I am a lifelong vinyl collector (49 years old) and just starting to sell off my very large collection.  Much tender loving care has gone into this collection.  I have digitally archived all my albums.  These are what I listen to, so most of my LPs bought new have had very few spins.  All have been stored upright in 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeves in a smoke-free environment.  Many more rare and hard to find collectibles to be listed.  Stay tuned!

Grading is visual only and conservative (using Ebay categories):
Mint (I almost never use this grade unless it's sealed) means perfect Near Mint means just shy of perfect Excellent means light wear, or a couple light marks Very Good Plus means more significant wear but nothing serious, or more than a couple light marks and/or a few hairlines Very Good has more serious wear but it's definitely not garbage, has marks and hairlines
