I AM OFFERING THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:

THE OFFICAL 1983 MICHAEL JACKSON PICTURE DISC # 8E8-38867. I WOULD RATE THE ENTIRE ALBUM AS FOLLOWS:

JACKET: EXCELLENT: PLASTIC COVER IS ONLY SLIGHTLY BRITTLE, ACTUALLY QUITE NICE CONSIDERING THE AGE. SOME SEAM SPLIT ON TOP AT THE FOLD OVER. ABOUT 1/14'. THERE ARE TWO PUCH HOLES AT THE TOP (SEE PICTURES) THAT THE RETAILER MADE TO HANG THE RECORD FOR SALE. THATS HOW I BOUGHT IT. LABEL IS IN GREAT CONDITION, CLEAN & NO MARKS.

PICTURE DISC RECORD: MINT. THIS ALBUM HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED AND THERE IS NO VISIBLE HANDLING OR SCUFFS OF ANY SORT. I PLAYED THE LP RECORD THAT I AM GIVING AWAY FREE SO THAT IF YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO THE GREAT SONGS YOU DON'T NEED TO PLAY THE PICTURE DISC. THAT IS WHAT I DID AND THAT IS WHY I AM RATING THE PICTURE DISC AS MINT.

I AM INCLUDING THE 1982 EPIC LABEL RECORD "MICHAEL JACKSON THRILLER" QE 38112 AT NO ADDTIONAL COST OR SHIPPING COST.   

RECORD RATING: VG+. THE RECORD IS IN OVERALL GOOD SHAPE WITH MINOR SCRATCHS AND SCUFFS. I PLAYED THIS RECORD ONLY INSTEAD OF THE PICTURE DISC THAT I AM OFFERING. I DID NOT WANT TO SEE A NEEDLE COME IN CONTACT WITH THAT PICTURE DSC RECORD. THE RECORD WILL COME IN A GENERIC SLEEVE ONLY, NO ALBUM COVER. THIS RECORD IS IN MUCH BETTER CONDITION THAN THE PICTURES I TOOK ACTUALLY SHOW.

SHIPPING: ALL RECORDS ARE SHIPPED IN A CORRUGATED RECORD BOX. THE RECORD(S) ARE WRAPPED & SECURED IN THE BOX TO PREVENT MOVEMENT DURING SHIPPING.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CONTACT ME. I AM JUST BEGINNING TO LIST MY COLLECTION. THANKS FOR LOOKING.

ALL VINYL RECORD GRADING IS BASED ON VISUAL INSPECTION

A vinyl sound recording according to many collectors has two important components: visual and audio. Grading is a matter of personal interpretation and opinion. My goal is to give you the most accurate visual assessment of each record I post. As a long time collector I will grade a record the same way I would evaluate it if I was buying it for myself.

Brief Overview of Industry Grading Standards:

SS: Still Sealed, sealed at factory and never opened.

M: Mint, Perfection, no flaws, defects, marks or otherwise indications of being handled or played.

NM or M-: Near mint or mint minus. The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but no scratches.

VG++: Very Good. There can be possibly a hairline scratch or two but nothing that that is obvious or affects play. Vinyl is bright & shiny and label is clean & unmarked.

VG+: Very Good Plus. Some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact on the sound quality. Vinyl & label may have minor imperfections, but otherwise clean.

VG: Very Good. Vinyl will have minor surface scratches or scuffs that will cause minor surface noise but do not overpower the music. No skips. Vinyl & label may be dull, grayish and have small tears. Label may have writing tape marks etc.

G: Good. Well played, dull, grayish vinyl with deep scratches and wears causing distracting surface noise. Labels may be significantly defaced or damaged.

F/P: Fair or Poor. There will be major surface noise, surface damage, deep scratches and skips.
