Hi. This listing is for a rare and very collectable Van Halen album, "Balance". I believe this is 1st Original USA Pressing. LP is still sealed and Mint Condition, Cover is in NM condition with very small crease in the spline and left side about 3 inches down caused by the corner being bent and pinching the spline. The crease is very small, only about a half inch long and barely noticeable. The shrink is still sealed and only has some minor ring wear on it. I purchased this album myself back in 1995 and never opened it. Very nice, collectible copy. Warner Brothers Records 9 45760-1, 1995.

MY RECORD GRADING :

M/MINT Condition: I only grade MINT for a record that is still sealed in shrink wrap. Basically a new album

NM/NEAR MINT/M-: A record that looks new but has been opened and maybe played. Very clean and shiny. No marks or scratches or maybe 1 or 2 insignificant marks.

E+/Excellent+: A record that may have a half dozen or so minor marks or scratches. Still clean and shiny. Nothing that can be heard when playing.

E/Excellent: A record with some light scratches, marks or stains. Some you might hear when playing the record. Still clean and shiny. No skips or deep scratches.

VG/Very Good: A record with visible wear, maybe a good scratch or 2 but no skips. May have a lot of light scratches and scuffs but do not sound bad. Still plays well and sounds good with some occasional ticks and pops. If there are any deep scratches I try my best to repair them under a microscope and will note them in the description.

G/Good: Playable copy. Noticeable surface wear, scuffs and/or scratches, nothing really bad, no skipping. Still a playable record. Will hear ticks and pops throughout the record. If there are any deep scratches I try my best to repair them under a microscope and will note them in the description.

Less Than Good: I trash. I will not list anything that is not a good playable record

I try to give all my records a good cleaning and test play before listing or selling, just to be sure there are no issues. If you get a record that has a problem please contact me before leaving a negative feedback. I will do my best to make it right.
