Joni Mitchell's indisputable masterpiece, Blue, on AAA original US press from 1975.   This is the 2nd pressing of the album and it has that analog magic, tubey goodness that truly does justice to the music within.  Her voice leaps out of the speakers and what a voice it is!
See pics - cover has seen some shelf wear and ring wear, which is common for these 70s copies of Blue.   Only a tiny 1/2" seam split on the upper right.   Other than that very tight seals and nice inner gatefold

All used 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 to avoid seam splits and everything is contained and protected in an outer plastic sleeve.  Shipped securely in premium record mailer (Mighty Music Mailers) with corner protection to ensure safe arrival to your home. 

If you buy more than one item, I will combine shipping to save you money whenever possible for multiple items purchased at same time.  Just send me a request before paying and I will submit an invoice to you for the new total to pay.

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.
