Aqualung:

Sleeve: VG, gatefold, spine is intact and legible, moderate corner bumps and shelf wear. Refer to pictures.

Vinyl: VG+/EX. Cleaned (Tergikleen) and test-played. No skips, no loops, no warps. Minor surface noise (several pops) on "Wind Up". Otherwise excellent sounding record. Awesome pressing. Finding a better 1st Pressing won't be easy.

Pressing Plant: Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Terre Haute

Vinyl Grading 

Defects such as scuffs, light scratches, which don’t affect the actual playback. Slight warps, providing they don’t affect playback, are acceptable. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks are likely.

I only ship to customers within the United States via USPS Media Mail.


All records are cleaned with a Tergikleen solution. Followed by a pressure rinse with distilled water and hand-dried. 

I ship records outside of outer sleeve so sleeve doesn't split during shipping. Sleeve and record are then placed together in a 3 mil poly sleeve. They are also sandwiched between 12 by 12 cardboard mailer inserts.
