I have 4 remaining copies of this extremely rare, early Vault release all with same extras. Grades range from "Mint", "Mint" to "NM", "NM". This particular list pricing is in reference to a copy with "NM+" Media and "NM" Sleeve. Looks great and sounds flawless. None of my copies have been played more than twice (as with this one). Media is will prove accurately graded upon careful inspection using proper lighting and thorough and methodical inspection for all visual flaws no matter how inconsequential. Records and Gatefold cared for and stored with neurotic attention to protecting original quality as close as the passage of years allows.

Note my NM copies, having rarely been played more than once in pursuit of determining sound purity, produce virtually undiscernible sound quality compared to my MINT/MINT Collector's Grade offerings. My sound tests are performed on my late 2018 Pro-ject Carbon Debut Esprit with brand new Ortofon Bronze MM cartridge and stylus upgrade from the original standard Ortofon Red. Optimum needle tracking downforce and anti-skate weight parameters utilized.

I go way overboard and VPI clean and use custom, anti-static inner sleeves to store any vinyls that are less than MINT. I am confident my system will leave you feeling you received a value uncommon in the world of vinyl trading. It is a refreshing surprise when you open a purchase and do not find yourself facing the prospect of returning an inaccurately graded listing.

This album will be packaged in a fashion that assures neither party has to go down the rabbit hole in search of postal shipping damage reimbursement. The albums themselves ship in clear, protective, poly sleeves with the actual vinyl stored outside the record sleeve in custom static-resistant inner sleeves. Original sleeves also included. Original Vault #4 digital code insert included.

Your NM graded investment will leave you more than satisfied with the value you receive. My NM listings have been recognized unsolicited for the Mint grade media sound quality they deliver.
