Beatles 1967-70 Double LP Set (Capitol, Stereo, SKBO-3404): Vinyl: VG, Cover G

Gatefold cover is in below average condition with seam splitting and more than average wear and tear. I rate this as a Good condition cover.

Gatefold cover is in very good condition with no notable issues. Gatefold colour looks good, no writing and no seam splitting.  Cover is in well above average condition with only minor wear and tear. I rate this cover as a VG+ quality cover. No inserts included. Inner sleeve not significant, plain white paper sleeve.

No notable issues.  I rate this cover as VG+ quality cover.  Inner sleeve not significant, plain white paper sleeve.

Let it Be (Apple AR 34001): Vinyl: VG-, Cover G

Not play graded, visually inspected.  Surface markings on both sides. Below average condition vinyl due to surface markings. I rate this as a VG- quality LP. Gatefold cover is in below average condition with significant wear and tear, ring wear and initials written on front cover.  Just overall a pretty worn cover. I rate this as a Good condition cover. Inner sleeve not significant, plain white paper sleeve.

 

Record listed has been cleaned using a Nitty Gritty 1.5 cleaning system.

I do my best to be fair and honest with my record grading assessments.  I will provide as much detail as possible to give potential buyers everything they need to know about the product(s) you are bidding on. I inspect and grade all vinyl by either listening to or visually inspecting under bright lighting. If play graded, it will be noted. Major anomalies will be noted. Bid with confidence as returns are accepted.

 

Vinyl Grading Classification:

(SS) Still Sealed = Sealed in original shrink wrap. Anomalies (Saw cuts, cut-out holes, creases, etc.) will be noted.

(NM) Near Mint = A superb LP record that is nearly perfect. No visible defects, appears to be new, except without the sealed shrink wrap. A good description of a NM record is “It looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time.” 

(EX) Excellent = An LP record that is very close to (NM) with minor defects allowed.

(VG+) Very Good Plus = An LP record that has been played, but well cared for.  It may show light wear, such as light scratches or scuffs.

(VG) Very Good = An LP record that exhibits signs of use. Limited scuffs and scratches causing moderate surface noise that will be evident upon playing.  Defects should not overpower the music.

(VG-) Very Good Minus = An LP record considered acceptable. The record will play through but with significant surface noise and possible skips.  Well used vinyl.

(G) Good = An LP record marginally acceptable. LP exhibits visible scratches, significant skips/jumps and bad surface noise.

 

Note: I do not sell records below a “Good” rating unless collectible.

 

Cover Grading Classification:

(NM) Near Mint = LP cover has no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable defects. No cut-out holes, either. The same is true for any inserts, posters, lyric sleeves and the like.

(EX) Excellent = LP cover very close to NM, minor defects allowed.

(VG+) Very Good Plus = LP cover may have slight signs of wear and may also be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.  Inner sleeve and will have some moderate wear, and may have lightly turned up corners.

(VG) Very Good = LP cover may have light to moderate ring wear, some tape, stickers, glue, writing, a small seam split, but not all of these defects. Too many of these types of defects will degrade the cover to a Good (G) classification.

(G) Good = LP cover shows signs of significant wear that includes seam splits (especially at the bottom or on the spine) and worn corners. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.

(F) Fair = LP cover that barely holds and protects the record. LP cover may include (but not all) the following defects: marred by wear, writing, water damage, seam splits on all three sides, inner sleeve seams splits, crinkled and written upon. If it is a common LP cover/sleeve, you'll need to find another copy in better shape to replace it.

 

Shipping:

USA Domestic: I do not gouge customers on shipping and handling fees. Domestic shipments will be shipped via USPS Economy Media Mail so I can pass savings along to customers. USPS Media Mail shipments can take up to 10 business days to arrive depending on location. All shipments include a USPS tracking number with delivery conformation. Handling time is 1 to 2 business days.

International: I am willing to ship parcels internationally using the EBay Global Shipping Program.

Packaging:

LP will be boxed carefully in a corrugated box made specifically for LPs to protect the cover.  LP will include a clear plastic outer LP sleeve. LP will be removed from cover for shipping to prevent seam splitting (unless sealed).

 

 Winning Multiple Listings:

If buyer wins multiple listings I will combine shipping costs. I will charge 1.00 for first LP and .50 for each additional LP. If you win multiple listings please wait for the Invoice before making payment so I can accurately adjust shipping costs.
