Beastie Boys - Hello Nasty

Grand Royal – GR061 1998

DOUBLE LP

Wow! Ultra-rare NM copy of this classic Beastie Boys album. Only 7500 copies of the transparent gold vinyl were pressed back in 1998.  

COVER: The double LP gatefold cover looks is in near mint condition. I would give it a Mint condition rating but it is not sealed, so a perfect NM. It still creaks when you open it.  Comes with cool, original inner sleeves. Looks brand new! See pics.

VINYL: NM / NM. I think I played this record once or twice. Looks flawless with no scuffs, or marks and labels are clean. This limited edition, first pressing is a trippy transparent gold color. 

This vinyl has been stored correctly in clear plastic for 20+ years. Priced to sell fast.  

All ebay records sold are safely packaged in high-quality cardboard mailers made for keeping vinyl safe. Orders are shipped by standard US Postal Mail. 

I am very picky with my grading and I really try to price the records so we both feel satisfied. If you feel I missed the mark on the grading of a record you purchased, please reach out to me. I am selling a very large personal collection and look over a ton of vinyl everyday.

Here are my standards for grading records:

Near Mint Minus (NM or NM-)
This is almost a perfect, brand new record and the vinyl will play perfectly. The cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other defects. The same goes for inserts, posters, lyric sheets, sleeves, etc.

Excellent (EX)
This record will show some signs that it has been played but taken care of, protected, and correctly stored by previous owners. Defects should be cosmetic and not affect the playback. Record surfaces may show signs of wear, slight scuffs, or very light scratches, but these shouldn't distract from or affect one's listening experience.  The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Small 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 promo hole, cut-out hole, notch cut, indentation, or cut corner. 

Very Good Plus (VG+)
This record is still high quality in my collection. You may hear slight surface noise, subtle pops, and ticks when playing, but these sounds should only add to the warm analog feeling and not overpower the music otherwise. Scuffs or light scratches may be noticeable, but they shouldn't cause skips during playback. The cover or label may have writing, marks, or stickers. But I think these just add to overall mystique of the record's history.
