NOTE:  Regardless of visual condition of vinyl, can not guarantee there will be no popping or skipping of records.  Some of the vinyls have not been played in many years and could need cleaned. We do listened to 99.9% of the records listed.
This album is opened still in the original shrink in overall excellent condition from the sleeve to the vinyl. The sleeve has some corning at the left lower corner. This is a great album to add to any collection or just to have if you are a David Bowie fan.

Conditioning scale I refer to:
 Sealed (ss)

Self-explanatory. Some record companies in the 60's sealed the disc in a plastic inner bag but not the record jacket. These are graded jacket=(as appropriate) / disc="sealed." For instance a VG+ jacket and sealed disc would be: VG++/sealed. Otherwise, a sealed item has only one grade. 

Near Mint (NM)
This is the highest grade used by Record Castle for an unsealed item. "Mint" is not used as a grade because, without a microscope and 40 minutes of inspection per record, perfection cannot be verified to everyone's satisfaction. Near Mint ranges from a record appearing unused, to an item that may have been used, but is without a notable cosmetic defect as evidence of that use. 

Excellent (EX)
This grade refers to an attractive, fresh-in-appearance item that, upon closer inspection, has been disqualified from the NM category due to (usually) one flaw that could not be overlooked. 

Very Good Plus (VG+)
This is the broadest grade serving as a catch-all for any decent, presentable, average, usable (not marred or defective) item. People ordering VG+ items usually are prepared to accept an imperfect item representing the artifact that it is, and are going to enjoy it without being excessively preoccupied with cosmetic details. VG+ is a fine copy that is indisputably "used", being your basic "decent used record" for utilitarian purposes. . 

Very Good (VG)
This is the beginning of "rough" for collector's purposes. A VG record is usually one that a collector will buy to fill a "hole" in his/her library until a better copy comes along. We usually don't advertise items with either VG covers or discs unless they are deemed scarce enough to attract a collector for this purpose. 

Good Plus (G+)
Averaged between VG and G, 

Good (G)
Items graded "good" are very used and only presentable to the least discriminating record hunter. This classification is usually employed for jackets when it's the disc that's worth collecting, and vice-versa; or when the component in question is very rare and still a COLLECTIBLE item. 

Fair to Poor (FP)
Extremely bad condition
