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.


SEALED MINT Deftones LP & 45 lot!  Self titled LP is a RARE original first pressing (this is NOT the recent 2011/2012 reissue) on Maverick from 2003!!!  Auction also includes a VERY RARE UK pressing of the Hexagram/Bloody Cape 45 from 2003, also on Maverick!!!  I bought these new at the Virgin Megastore (R.I.P.) here in Chicago and never opened them.  45 still has the original blue circular Virgin Import sticker and Made In England tag on the front and custom barcoded price tag on the rear!!!  Virgin used to seal most of their imports in-house in a loose fitting crinkly cellophane.  Someone once accused me of having a re-sealing machine of some kind so now I leave nothing to chance.  Don't sleep as these are only going up and finding both these rarities sealed in one place will almost certainly never happen again.



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
