Van Halen - Self Titled LP w/ Inner
Warner Brothers BSK 3075

Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Media Mail.

Hello, thanks for looking. I'm no expert on grading vinyl, i'll try my best to evaluate the condition of both the cover and the album. I'll use the grading scale below as a guide and i'll be very conservative with my evaluation.

You are bidding on a used copy of Van Halen.  It is the self-titled debut studio album by American hard rock band . Released on February 10, 1978, under Warner Brothers. Van Halen contains many of Van Halen's signature songs, including "", the guitar solo "", their remake of  hit "", "", "Jamie's Cryin'", "Feel Your Love Tonight" and their remake of 's "Ice Cream Man". Please message me with any questions.

Matrix / Runout (Runout Side 1): BSK-1-3075 WW4 #10 —◁ Matrix / Runout (Runout Side 2): BSK-1-3075 WW3 —◁

CONDITION: Jacket: G / Vinyl: EX 

The Jacket / Sleeve: I'm hoping the pictures can speak for the grade, it's a G. The cover is still in one piece but it has two major bends. It doesn't have any seam splitting or holes or cuts. There is some record ring and the corners are rounded. Theres a small white price sticker on the back. It's pretty beat up, the photos tell most of the story. 

Inner Paper Sleeve:  It's the original paper record sleeve / insert and it is in good condition. (See Photo) 

The vinyl: EX. The record looks great, nothing major to report. Both A & B side labels is in great shape also.

All records are shipped with USPS media mail, properly packed in a 12" cardboard record mailer (with the record out of the jacket). 

Thanks for looking, please message me with any questions! 

Grading Scale

Mint (M): Perfect, unused in sealed original packaging.

Near-Mint (NM): Close to perfect with no visible scratches or scuffs. Appears to be un-played or played less than 5 times.

Excellent (EX): May contain very light surface scratches and/or scuffs. Label and jacket may show slight signs of ring-wear / lightly bent corners. No creases, writing, tears or rips.

Very Good Plus (VG+): May show some signs that it was played and handled by a previous owner who took reasonably good care of it. Imperfections are cosmetic and do not drastically impact the playback. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs and surface scratches. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are ok. The label and jacket may have some slight ring ring-wear, discoloration, minor tears and imperfections. As with most vinyl, there may be low-level surface noise and light crackles and pops may be present, especially during quiet or soft passages in the track.  

Very Good (VG): Many of the imperfections found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG record or sleeve.

Good (G) - It doesn't mean the record is "Trashed" but its definitely been played a lot. I'll mainly use this for jackets and inner sleeves (if the record is worth selling).

Fair (F) Poor (P): I do not sell Poor (P), Fair (F). If I use these it's because the album is super rare. 

Disclaimer : I’m really new at selling on E-bay so please excuse my inexperience and lack of knowledge when it comes to collecting and selling vinyl. I do not grade LPs and I am not an expert on classification. Most of the vinyl I own, I bought in bulk at yard sales or estate sales. Ask Me Questions before bidding! Please understand, I’m grading my LPs on a visual estimation. Keep that in mind, because if you bid or buy this album, i’m selling it as is! Therefore All Sales Are Final! If you’re really interested in this LP and you think the description / photo’s are missing something… Message Me! Ask questions, I will answer honestly, I will send more photo’s, maybe even a video if you want. I'm not trying to scare away a potential customer, I'm just saying, please consider everything I said before asking for a refund. Look, there is some risk when buying used 20 - 60 year old, pre owned, vinyl… together we can cut down on that risk even eliminate it! Thanks for looking!!!
