Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB condition LP which is a FIRST PRESSING vinyl album on the Warner Brothers label and titled "Graceland"--the LP features PAUL SIMON performing rock music blended with a number of different ethnic traditions and including musicians LOS LOBOS and LADYSMITH BLACK MAMBAZO.  The LP was issued in 1986 on the Warner Brothers label, has the serial number 1-25447 on the label and 9 25447-1 on the spine of the cover and is an ORIGINAL PRESSING made in the United States.
This LP is in SUPERB and virtually FLAWLESS condition and the vinyl is in NM condition with just a couple of VERY slight paper scuffs that should not play and NO other significant imperfections; the original inner sleeve is included and in outstanding shape with NO splits and just light creases on a couple of the corners, and the cover is in NEAR MINT condition with a very slight crease on the upper right corner of the cover and just slight shelfwear otherwise--it's NOT a cutout!

Vinyl Grading Standards (unless otherwise indicated, LPs are visually graded)

Mint (or M) – Sealed and effectively perfect with no signs of wear or ever having been played.

Near Mint -- A record with only the slightest evidence of ever having been handled.

Very Good Plus Plus (VG++) A very clean record that has no marks aside from slight scuffs and abrasions caused by removal from a paper inner sleeve or perhaps a few marks on the label caused by a turntable spindle.

Very Good Plus (VG+) A record that has had a number of plays and may have some superficial scuffs, possibly mild to moderate spindle marks and / or possibly hairline scratches on the vinyl, which may produce some intermittent pops and possibly very light background noise.

Very Good (VG) A record that has generally been well cared for, but has seen a fair amount of play, with some scuffing. hairline scratches, spindle marks and / or light scratches.  Should play through well, with the possibility of more pops and more background noise.

Very Good Minus (VG-)  A record with significant scuffs, scratches, and spindle marks that should play through with moderate pops and surface noise, possibly of some duration.

Good (G) A record with will play through, but with significant pops, substantial background noise, and possibly intermittent skipping.

Poor (P) A record with MAJOR issues that will interfere with play, and will possibly be unplayable in part due to damage (I'll only offer an LP in this condition if it's an extreme rarity and / or for cover art display purposes).


A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this vinyl LP!
