PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER).  OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.


RARE original Jo Hansch mastered Santa Maria first pressing on Barking Pumpkin from 1981 with both glossy full color printed inner sleeves!!!  LPs are a gorgeous near mint minus.  Cover has a top left hand corner deletion notch (but it's covered by a Give The Gift Of Music tag and isn't visible) and is still in the original shrink wrap!!!  Even has the original $3.99 Rolling Stones Records (represent, Chicago!) price sticker on the front with iconic balloon lettering.  A beautiful copy with airtight provenance.  


I USE GOLDMINE GRADING: MINT (SEALED)
NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++:  VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE
VG+:  AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG:  STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS
GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR:  FILLER COPY ONLY.  LOTS OF SCRATCHES
