Rolling Stones, Let it Bleed, London, Blue Label Vinyl LP NPS-4 Stereo VG+
“Record has marks that do not affect play. Slight surface noise at times VG+. Outer Cover has writing on back  VG+. Writing on side one label.Still a very clean record.
This record is nice and glossy, but there are a few marks on each side.  These marks do not affect play.  There was light surface noise on both sides and a few light ticks.  This was mostly in between songs and during quieter parts of the music.  There was nothing overpowering or distracting.  VG+. The original inner sleeve is in great shape ,the outside cover is very nice except for small writing on back cover.  VG+        Record will be shipped in a new record mailer with record outside the sleeve and inside a plastic sleeve! If you have any questions just send a message and I will answer.
Overall a nice clean copy of this classic record- See Pics carefully.

G U I D E L I N E S   T O   G R A D I N G:
Guidelines I use to rate the quality of these records (based on the Goldmine Grading Guide):

M:  Mint - Still sealed, assume vinyl is perfect.

NM:  Near Mint - Vinyl, still shiny, as if opened for the first time. No writing or stickers on the vinyl. No obvious scratches. Label: No writing or stickers and no fading of the label.  LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or similar defects. 

NM-: Near Mint Minus (My grading item/description).   Similar to NM but will have some very light scratches on the vinyl not affecting the sound quality. No writing or stickers on label and no fading (or ringwear) on cover or label.

EX: Excellent - Not quite a Goldmine Standard Listing, but being used by many now. Cover: No ink wear, minor creases to corners, no seam tears. Vinyl can have scratches, but not felt by your fingers. Sound quality must be mint. No more than 15% of the surface should have wear or scuffs on it. To me, EX is like a VG++.

VG+: Very Good Plus - Similar to NM- except that on the label, there may be a sticker or writing, but it shows very little wear. There may be only a couple light surface scratches on the grooves, but do not affect the playback with noise or skips. You may only see these scratches if you put them under a bright light and really look for them. The cover might have light creasing or minor seam or corner wear, but still in great condition to show off.

VG to VG-: Very Good to Very Good Minus - May not be that shiny anymore and you will see scratches without putting it under a bright light, but they still would not affect the quality of the playback. The sound quality is still pretty good, maybe a little noise, but not enough to detract from the listening experience. The label might have some fading around it, besides having stickers or writing. The cover may have obvious ringwear in the middle or around the perimeter of where the record was, maybe some side seam splits, or little tears at the top or side where the record goes back into. If less defects, then it's a VG. If it has all this just mentioned, then a VG-.

G, G+: Good or Good Plus - It doesn't mean the vinyl is trashed. It plays though without skipping, but may have heavy noise or fuzz sound because of age, quality, or worn-down grooves. Heavy writing or stickers on the label, ringwear is very obvious on the cover and cover probably has seam splits. But, amazingly, for the vinyl, if you have special audio LP recording software, you could probably clean up those crackles and fuzzes, if you want to create a CD of it for yourself.

P: Poor - This is when the vinyl is warped to the point it warps the playback also. Or it's cracked, but it may or may not still play without a skip. If a picture sleeve is with it, this is torn or marked up big time. But someone may want to have it for nostalgia or even attempt to fix it.
