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.


MEGA RARE original George Piros mastered US Monarch first pressing from 1979 on Virgin with original poly-lined printed inner sleeve and RARE original three song promotional 45!!!  LP is a gorgeous VG++/NM-.  Cover is still in the original shrink wrap beautiful.  Original bonus promotional 45 is a beautiful VG++ with a few barely visible paper scuffs.  Even has the original $6.25 Wax Trax! Records (represent, Chicago!) price sticker from when the legendary label operated a store on Lincoln Avenue decades ago here in the Windy City and exclusively sold records that mattered.  Impeccable provenance.  This is a high grade copy in collector condition.  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
