PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN 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 PRC (Recording Company - Richmond, IN) pressing of this early proto-metal killer from 1978 on Mercury's skyline label with the number 72 under the catalog number on the label to the left of the center hole and Philips credit on the front, rear and spine on the cover!!!  LP is a gorgeous near mint minus.  Cover is still in the original shrink wrap and beautiful.  Even has the original $5.00 Rolling Stone Records (represent, Chicago!) price sticker in the top right hand corner on the front.  An absolute high grade copy with airtight 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
