This is one of many forthcoming auctions from a fastidious collector. Nearly every record in his collection appears to be unplayed, and most the covers look nearly untouched. Nearly every record I played has been M- or very close to it. Each one will be graded individually, and I assure you these are some of the cleanest records you will ever hear.

VG+ THE RECORD STILL RETAINS SOME SHINE, SURFACE MARKS & SCRATCHES MAY OCCUR BUT ARE LIMITED AND TEND TO BE MODERATE TO LIGHT.  RECORD WILL PLAY VERY WELL WITH VERY LIGHT SURFACE NOISE MOSTLY HEARD DURING A QUIET PASSAGE.
