*PLEASE READ THIS LISTING TO THE END TO LEARN ABOUT MY LP COLLECTION & UNDERSTAND MY QUALITY AND GRADING METHODS*
  Here is an Original 1988 '1st Canadian Pressing' of the "Cinderella - Long Cold Winter" LP,  (BMG Club Edition).   Before this LP was released, it was being mass produced / pressed at multiple locations in the US & Canada, each for specific North American markets. Since they were all virtually pressed simultaneously, they can all be considered "1st Pressings", just from different origins (plants), as long as they were pressed in 1988 with a catalog # ending with  -1. Only 2 editions were being mfg'd in Canada, the Canadian retail edition which was pressed by a CBS pressing plant in Don Mills, Ontario, Canada and the Canadian BMG Club edition which was pressed at SnB Mastering Labs, Montreal, Canada. This particular CLUB Release was the "1st 1988 Club Edition" produced by SnB.   This overall LP Package is in Excellent Condition. The LP does show a very small 1/8" surface scratch on Side 1, Track 3 but Side 2 is near perfect, Overall LP Condition EX- (due to tiny scratch). (Please see '☊ The Audio Test' comments for more details on the effects of the scratch). The Cover has the 'Embossed Cinderella Logo', it's original cellophane still intact, is perfectly smooth & flat with no damage at all, in NM condition. The Inner Sleeve has photo's on one side and lyrics on the other, is still mostly very smooth & flat, but does have 1 slight corner wrinkle and 2 tiny splits less than 1' each, Overall Sleeve Condition VG+ or Better.
 ☊ The Audio Test revealed only occasional, very light surface noise (crackle), mostly in the lead-in and dead time. The minute scratch on Side 1, Track 3 is not audible. The audio quality is very crisp and clean. This LP has been played several times so you may hear a very occasional tick or click. No loud pops or tracking / skipping problems. This LP is in VG+ to EX Condition.    The Audio Test was performed on a Technics SL-J33 Programmable Linear Tracking Turntable !

As a result, most items I post on ebay are what I consider 'reasonably priced' to prompt a quick sale, although I must also consider the condition of vintage collectibles when estimating my prices.   Please look closely at all the photo's and ask any questions, I will promptly reply.

*Please Read This Information About My LP Collection*:  All Records (LP's) that I sell are from my own personal collection so I know their full history. Over 95% of the LP's I purchased were opened and immediately recorded to cassette tape, then the LP was safely and securely stored to preserve it's quality. On rare occasions, a tape would fail so I would need to play an LP again to re-record it. That is 'usually' the only time an LP would be played more than once. Even in the Very Good / Very Good+ to Excellent Condition that describes most of my LP's, there are exceptions.  They have been stored a long time and have made several cross country moves with me so there may me some minor flaws (or worse). I try to be as accurate as possible to describe them including the Cover, Inner Sleeve & Vinyl LP, and grade them according to 'GoldMine' Standards. I also include Any & All Matrix / Run-Out Stamp or Etching Information, (Numbers, Letters & Symbols, etc) in order to better identify their Exact Origin (US or Foreign), Pressing Dates and Locations, Original, 1st Pressing or Re-Issue's or any other special notations of importance. Finally, since my LP's have "Been Around" the country, moving with me, I've added one more service. Just from the Vinyl LP sliding around in it's sleeve or jacket, paper dust can accumulate in the grooves and affect playback quality, therefore, I gently but thoroughly clean each LP I sell in a Customized Spin Clean system using a residue free anti-static solution, allow them to completely air dry (no towel drying), then place the LP in a New, Clear, Synthetic, Anti-Static Protective Sleeve. Any original sleeves, (photo, printed or just plain) will still be included inside the cover to keep the LP package complete. I also 'Spot Audio Test' each LP for surface noise, especially between tracks where it's most noticeable. If there are small surface scuffs or scratches I will play completely through them and describe any effects they have on the audio quality. This may all seem like a lot of work but I want my buyers to be fully informed and feel confident they are getting a high quality item for their money.
