A Tribe Called Quest ~ Beats, Rhymes and Life

Jive 01241-41587-1

Vinyl: VG (There are some shallow surface scratches on side D that cause some popping. All other sides play well with some surface noise most noticeable at the quieter spots. Please see grading guideline below.)

Sleeve: VG- (Some corner and edge wear. Creasing. Please see photos.)

Inner Sleeve: Generic white.

I ship all records in protective sleeves with the record removed from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits during shipping unless sealed. All records come from my personal collection in a smoke free house.

All used records are cleaned on a VPI 16.5 Record Cleaning Machine prior to shipping.

Please pay promptly. Because of an increasing number of buyers waiting a week or more to pay, I have enabled the Unpaid Item Assistant on my account. It will automatically open an unpaid item case for any payment not received within four (4) days of a sale.

All prices are firm. The only discounts I give are for combined shipping. I will not respond to messages seeking lower prices.

A note on grading: I’m not a pro or a record store owner, but I have been collecting for a long time and I know what’s good and what’s not. I’ve been burned buying records on Ebay before and I know it’s not fun, so I try to grade as conservatively as possible so that you will be more than satisfied with what you receive. If you’re not I will offer a full refund upon return of the record. Under no circumstances will I give a partial refund and allow you to keep the record. No return, no refund.

M/NM: I only use these grades for sealed records (M) or records that are opened but have never been played (NM).

Ex: May have some very light scuffing from taking the record in and out of the paper inner. Should play with very little to no background noise.

VG+: May have some light scuffing from taking the record in and out of the paper inner. May have some inaudible marks or hairline scratches. May play with minor surface noise/crackle that should only really be noticeable at the most quiet parts of the record. 

VG: May have some more intense scuffing and hairline scratches. May also have some deeper scratches that can be felt and may cause popping and/or clicking, but shouldn’t skip. Plays with surface noise that is pronounced and noticeable but doesn’t ruin the listening experience. You can still listen to it and enjoy it, but it is both visually and audibly most definitely used. 

Good/Fair/Poor: I won’t sell anything with these grades unless they have high collectable value. 

All records are visually graded only unless otherwise specified!!!
