Artist – ASSORTED MOTOWN ARTISTS

Album Title – 25 #1 HITS From 25 YEARS

Record Label – MOTOWN Records 5308ML-2 (Stereo)

Year of Release - 1983

Description & Sound – This is vintage WOW! A serious compilation (TWO-RECORD SET) from one the LEGENDARY record labels responsible for more artists & hit records that I can think of, The sound of 'MOTOWN RECORDS'

This SLEEVE is absolutely beautiful with great color in a great design. There is some edge/handling wear, but, it is minimal & difficult to see, it's THAT GOOD! NO stickers NO writing NO seam splits

GOLDMINE standards rate this at a strong EX++, closer to NM-

The VINYL is the true PRIZE here, simply beautiful. Super shiny with great luster. For the mot part these records are pristine. The vinyl is about as close to M- as can be. Both have been play tested resulting outstanding, uninterrupted sound. These are real beauties!

(Some artists included are; The Supremes, The Four Tops, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, The Commodores, The Jackson Five, The Marvelettes plus many many more combinations)

The LP pictured is the one you'll receive
VINYL - M = Perfect, M- or NM = probably played but still looks near perfect, super shiny, EX++ - Very light scratches or scuff that does not affect play, super shiny EX+ = Very close to an EX++, VG+ = minimal surface & scuff with light surface noise, VG = Lost some luster, some light surface noise & light surface scratches that does not affect play, VG = I don't sell anything less
SLEEVE - M = Perfect, M- or NM = Package has been opened but still looks near perfect, EX++ = Hard to see ring wear, possibly some discoloration, EX+ = More noticeable ring wear more discoloration, EX

GOLDMINE is a well known vinyl record grading system that is a wonderful guide for grading older records. I always refer to them but I also use my eyes and vinyl experience which back some 60 years. I will use NM- when I feel it falls between NM & EX+. Also GOLDMINE does not refer to a HAZE I see on some, but not all, older records. I DO! I try to grade as if I am buying for myself
