Blind Melon - Nico Vinyl LP - Analog Spark. Official.  I see a lot of fake versions being sold on here which is unfortunate. This is an official pressing check the Analog Spark logo in the bottom corner.


Media is Near Mint
Cover is being downgraded to VG+ because of the slight split at the top (see picture) otherwise it's NM but I always grade conservatively. 


I use the Goldmine Grading System.

NEAR MINT (NM OR M-)

A good description of a NM record is “it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time.” In other words, it’s nearly perfect. Many dealers won’t use a grade higher than this, implying (perhaps correctly) that no record or sleeve is ever truly perfect.

NM records are shiny, with no visible defects. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any “spindle marks” from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. Major factory defects also must be absent; a record and label obviously pressed off center is not Near Mint. If played, it will do so with no surface noise. (NM records don’t have to be “never played”; a record used on an excellent turntable can remain NM after many plays if the disc is properly cared for.)



Cover-

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) or EXCELLENT (E)

VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint.
