PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN 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 first pressings of Tracy Chapman's first two LPs!!!  Self-Titled debut is a Specialty pressing from 1988 on Elektra with original printed inner sleeve with complete lyrics!!!  LP is VG++ with 2 light scuffs and cover is VG+ with a bottom right hand corner bend.  Crossroads is also a Specialty from 1989 with complete lyrics on the inner sleeve!!!  LP is a beautiful VG++/NM-.  Cover is VG++ with a hint of ring.  You will not be disappointed.


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
