Journey's chartbuster 'Departure' on 1st press US vinyl.   Sound is amazing, deep, full analog.  Clean NM vinyl and strong VG+ cover with no seam splits, nice spine, minimal wear overall.   Some minor shelf wear.  This is the thick cardboard cover that was used for the 1st press. 

All records cleaned prior to shipment on my new Degritter 2 Ultrasonic record cleaning machine.  Will be shipped with archival inner sleeve to protect original printed inner, with record placed outside of the jacket and all contained/protected 3 mil plastic sleeve.  Shipped securely in premium record mailer (Mighty Music Mailers) with corner protection to ensure safe arrival to your home.  I package the record outside the jacket to avoid seam splits. 

I combine shipping to save you money whenever possible for multiple items purchased at same time.

New/Sealed

Jacket sealed in shrink wrap; Record unplayed.  Disc sold ungraded or "as is".

NM

Under bright light, appears unplayed or only played with great care and looks quite pristine/like new.   Only the very finest examples make this grade.  

EX

Under bright light, may have one or two slight, but visible imperfections (i.e. sleeve scuffs, faint ‘hairline’ scratches, or other superficial marks) that will not affect play.  Overall, very clean.   May play as good as a Near Mint record, but visibly has minor imperfections.

VG+

Several visible imperfections. Has seen more wear and play than the higher grades, but still overall a very nice record. May have sleeve light unfeel-able scratches, or other superficial marks.

VG

VG will show signs of improper care or frequent play and handling, and will possibly have some deeper, feel-able scratch(es) that may make audible noise upon playback.  Generally meant to be either a starter copy or purchased to get a sense of sound quality of a particular pressing.
