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 Robert Ludwig mastered unidentified MCA first pressing with Allied metalwork on I.R.S.'s silver label from 1986 with printed inner sleeve!!!  LP is a beautiful VG++/NM-.  Cover is still in the original shrink wrap with barely a hint of wear on the tip of the bottom left hand corner where there is small opening in the cellophane.  Even has the original $6.99 Big Daddy's Records & Tapes (R.I.P.) price sticker in the top right hand corner on the front cover.  A high grade copy with impeccable provenance.  THIS is what collecting is about.  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
