   For sale is a double vinyl record set from Frank Sinatra titled "The Dorsey,Sinatra Sessions Volume Three, originally released in 1982 by RCA Records. In the dead wax between the labels and the last tracks is machine stamped an upper case "I", followed by the matrix numbers A-1/B-1/C-1/D-1, indicating that the first stamper was used to make this record at RCA Records' pressing plant located in Indianapolis, Indiana. These are hallmarks of state-of-the-art engineering, sought after by collectors and music lovers for their superior sound quality. I bought this record set used, professionally cleaned them on my VPI HW-17 machine and immediately put the albums into two MFSL archival inner sleeves. Doing this protects the integrity of vinyl and any original inner sleeve(s) or insert(s) that may have come with the release. The original inner sleeves are graded as Near Mint. The cover is graded as Very Good Plus because of a corner crease, edge rubs, stress cracks along the spine and lower edge of the front cover and some corner blunts. The spine has fine line color loss from these stress cracks and color loss at the corners and in the middle from these blunts and rubs. The vinyl is visually graded as Near Mint with shiny, shimmery surfaces without any defects. The labels have no spindle marks with tight center holes. The vinyl is play graded as Near Mint Minus because of three rotational pops at the beginning of Side C, but plays all the way through without any skips. This is one of the best copies of this record that I've ever seen or heard and you would be hard pressed to find a copy in this condition. I have more Sinatra records, as well as albums of all different genres, in my Ebay store. Please take a look. They're predominately Near Mint. Thank you for viewing my listing.    I've been collecting records for about 50 years now and have always cleaned them and put them away carefully in plastic inner sleeves. Over the years I've used Dust Bugs, Disc Washers and have finally invested in a professional VPI record cleaning machine. Now that I'm retiring, I'm selling my very esoteric collection. I'm not a professional grader of records, but will use record guides, as well as my personal experiences as a basis of my grading all records. Since grading is subjective, I will be conservative.
