1985 Bad Moon Rising Sonic Youth Vinyl Record  Homestead Record - Silver Label - Repress - 33 1/3 RPM Includes lyric insert & a copy of handwritten lyrics for Death Valley 69 I will be listing hundreds of additional vinyl records from a New York City DJ's collection that have been stored away for years - rock/ dance/ new romantic/ punk/ gothic/ death metal genres - original, promos, club mixes, maxi 45’s & rare vinyl records - most all have been played, but not abused   Being sold AS IS - I am not a professional record collector or grader - I will be relying on playing/ listening to the records with visible scratches/ scuffs, photos & cosmetic inspection for description Vinyl (VG+) - played, no skips - some light scuff marks & small scratches in spots Record Label (VG+) - some light scuffs from turntable placement, a couple of tiny tears around center hole & a bit of light wear Inner Sleeve - clear plastic, some creasing   Cover (VG) - ring wear on back, edge wear & some creasing  Lyric Insert - creasing along edges, some yellowing & lights stains on back  May have old paper smell from storage I ship vinyl using USPS Ground Advantage which includes insurance coverage for handling damage or loss in the pricing & to avoid shipping delays/ excessive handling        Grading Scale I Use To Give My Opinion of Condition:
NM - Like New. Vinyl & sleeve should have no noticeable imperfections
NM- - Almost New. Vinyl may show a slight imperfection, such as, a mild scuff that does not affect play, a bit of spindle wear. Sleeve may show very light shelf wear
EX - Exceptional record. Vinyl shows very light play & sleeve shows very light shelf wear
VG+ - Used but not abused. Vinyl may have light marks/ scratches, but still a good player. Sleeves will have typical/ normal shelf wear 
VG - More visible wear than VG+. Vinyl will show more defined flaws, such as scratches or mild background noise that is overcome by music. Sleeves will have more moderate wear, such as mild yellowing, ring wear, edge wear, creasing, seam splitting
VG- - Slightly more visible wear than VG
G - Vinyl & sleeves show moderate to heavy wear. Vinyl shows significant surface wear, scuffing and/or scratches that may affect play, skipping will be notated. Sleeves show may show water wear, tears and/ or substantial creasing/ splitting.
Fair/ Poor - For rare records in which vinyl may be unplayable, heavily damaged, but still desired by collector.
