"Warriors, Come out and Play-ye".  The Warriors - Soundtrack - LP - Sealed - A & M SP4761 - JoeWalsh, Desmond Child, Genya Ravan, Ismael Miranda, Handbill - Artist that appear on this rare sealed LP. Record and cover MN - Still Sealed. Returns accepted if LP is defective when opened.

Thank you for your interest in possibly bidding on one of my records. All my records have been visually inspected. Some have been played where marks on the LP could have been an issue.  Some come from my personal collection. Others are from bulk purchases I have made in the past. All my records are graded using the Goldmine Record Grading Guide. And I’m very conservative on the Goldmine Scale. Most of my records and covers will fall in between Very Good (VG) to Near Mint (NM).  I will not sell you a trashed record. I have been collecting for over 40 years and it’s getting to the time of letting some of these pieces go. Also I have been an E Bay seller of records and merchandise for about 8 years now and take pride in my customer service. Check my ratings on recent LPs sales and other items.

All records will be packed in “Mailers” and materials designed for mailing records. Each LP and inner sleeve will be separated from the LP cover and placed on the outside of the cover to avoid seam splits then both inserted in a Mylar sleeve before wrapping.  After which two cardboard “Pads” will be sandwiched on opposite sides of the outer sleeve before wrapping in the mailer. The pad’s cardboard grain is also aligned in different directions in relation to the mailer to give that little extra strength during handling.  If you bid on more than one LP and want to combine your purchases, wait until I send you an adjusted shipping invoice before paying. I ship via Media Mail unless you specify otherwise (additional shipping costs will be added.)  Word of note I do not ship outside the USA so kindly please don’t ask. Most LPs are offered as Final Sale. That’s about it! I hope you find something I have you’ve been looking for at a reasonable starting bid.

Best wishes to you. Goldmine Standard is listed below. Take Care, Wildman.

Goldmine Record Grading Guide

MINT (M)
These are absolutely perfect in every way. Mint should never be used as a grade unless more than one person agrees that the record or sleeve truly is in this condition.

NEAR MINT (NM OR M-)
A good description of a NM record is “it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time.” In other words, it’s nearly perfect. NM records are shiny, with no visible defects. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any “spindle marks” from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. Major factory defects also must be absent; a record and label obviously pressed off center is not Near Mint. NM covers are free of creases, ring wear and seam splits of any kind.

VG+ (Very Good Plus)

VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.

VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom.. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint.

VG (Very Good)

VG records lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible. Minor writing, tape or a sticker can detract from the label. VG covers will have many signs of handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or it or stamped a price tag on it, too.

G (Good) or G+ (Good Plus)

Good does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping. But it has significant surface noise and groove wear, and the label is worn, with significant ring wear, heavy writing, or obvious damage caused by someone trying to remove tape or stickers. A Good to VG– cover has ring wear to the point of distraction, has seam splits obvious on sight and may have even heavier writing, such as, for example, huge radio station letters written across the front.
