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.


WILDLY RARE US audiophile gatefold pressing from 2012 on Rhino/EastWest Records America pressed on heavyweight 180 gram vinyl with the original hype sticker in the top right hand corner on the front.  LPs are a gorgeous near mint minus with the exception of side 3, which is VG++ with a light scuff on Sandblasted Skin.  Cover is still in the original shrink wrap and stunning with four sharp corners.  Even has the original custom barcoded special order sticker in the top right hand corner on the rear cover dated 5/1/13 from when I put in a request at the Best Buy store here in Chicago and the original $27.99 price tag from when it arrived!!!  A high grade copy with impeccable provenance.  This is what collecting is about.


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
