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, Keep in mind I am only visually assessing the condition of the jacket and vinyl. I encourage you to ask questions, before biding, I will answer honestly. Good Luck!!! - Jason
CONDITION- Jacket: G+ - VG / Vinyl: VG+
The Jacket / Sleeve: I'm hoping the pictures can speak for the grade: G+ or VG It is Solid & Stiff, there are some small bends and creases (notably on the seams), The spine is in good shape and the print is a little off centered but still legible, small amount of burn & record ring / halo, corners are rounded and frayed with age along with some fraying on the seams, little blemishes here and there, hole from record wear on the bottom seam, pictures tell the story.
Inner Paper Sleeve: It's the original white paper sleeve...
The vinyl: VG+. Both records look good, no real scratches or cosmetic marks, it looks like it has been played a few times but it doesn't look like there is anything that will impact playback. All label's are perfect.
Really nice copy of a hip hop classic, If you still have questions please message me.
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 1 or 2 very tiny & light cosmetic 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 do not grade LPs professionally and I am not an expert on classification. Some 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. If you're really interested in this record and you think the description & photo's are missing something, Message Me! Ask questions, I will answer honestly, I will send more photo's. 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 30 - 60 year old, pre owned, vinyl? together we can cut down on that risk even eliminate it! Thanks for looking!!!
