1st US press of Supertramp 80s blockbuster, Breakfast in America, grades visually in VG+ condition.  While not as quiet as audiophile vinyl and some occasional surface noise can be heard, the sound on this 1st press certainly fits the 'audiophile' bill.  Many say it's better than the MOFI release that came out.   PLEASE NOTE:  that there is a small scratch on beginning of Side Two that creates a tick on each rotation of Song 1 in the quiet intro before the harmonica comes in.  Priced accordingly. See pics for cover.  Nice overall with no seam splits and no significant ringwear at all.   Minor corner wear/compressions on lower right and left.  One slight wrinkle on upper left backcover.   Three minor 1" wrinkles on front, but overall quite nice.

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 a few more sleeve scuffs or light unfeel-able scratches, or other superficial marks than an EX-graded record.

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.
