CONDITION:

We do our best to grade conservatively, so that you are happy with your purchase.

Also, we try to specify any imperfections present on the disc, the label, and the sleeve (cover) of the LP.

Nevertheless, for an even better evaluation of the conditions of the item, please take a thorough look at the attached photos. They are part of the description and worth more than any words we could write.

All photos are of our actual items. We do not use found or stock photos; what you see is what you get.

If, after reading the whole description and examining the photos closely and attentively, you still have doubts or need further information (matrix/runout etchings, for instance) about the condition of the LP, please don't hesitate to contact us. As in life, clear and polite communication prevents a lot of problems.

 

RECORD: NM

Record is only visually graded, not play graded.

The record looks clean and beautiful, with no scratches, hardly any hairlines, and only a couple of very, very faint sleeve scuffs that are visible only under strong light. Remember, though, it is a used record, so there might be occasional clicks and pops, especially in quieter passages.

The record labels are awesome, with no writing, no wear, and no spindle marks. I bought this LP still sealed, opened it to take the shrink wrap off, but never, NEVER played it.

In view of the different record cleaning preferences of each person, we won’t clean or wash the record; we strongly recommend the buyer to make a good clean prior to playing the record.

 

SLEEVE: EX

The sleeve is very nice, with no writing, no tears, no splits, and only light shelf wear.

Some creases around the edges and spine on the front and rear cover.

Some rubbing spots on top and bottom edges, with some discoloration. They were already there when I bought the still sealed LP.

Corners dented/bent, with some rubbing also present.

Spine is fully readable, with no worth mentioning flaws.

In general, a stunning cover.
