DESCRIPTION:

Grateful Dead/New Riders of the Purple Sage

4 LP Album Lot (Lower Grade Records) 

Shakedown Street/Wake of the Flood/Blues for Allah

New Riders of the Purple Sage (S/T Debut)

Vinyl Condition: VG- to VG (Lower Grade)

Details:

Lot of 4 lower grade condition Grateful Dead/New Riders of the Purple Sage vinyl record albums. All vinyls cleaned and visually inspected. Records are in VG- to VG condition based on grading criteria listed below. Make no mistake these are very well used LPs and will play with some issues. If you are looking for VG or better records, you should look elsewhere. Lot includes all vinyl records as pictured. 

1. Shakedown Street (1978 Original Arista Release). Visually inspected. Surface markings noted on both sides. Slightly below average condition vinyl. I grade this as VG- (Near VG) condition vinyl. Cover: Below average condition (G) with some water damage and just more than average wear and tear. Inner sleeve: Not significant. 

2. Wake of the Flood (1973 Original Grateful Dead Records Release). Visually inspected. Notable surface markings on both sides. Below average condition vinyl. I grade this as VG- condition vinyl. Cover: Below average condition (G) with some water damage/seam splitting and just more than average wear and tear. Inner sleeve: Not significant.

3. Blues for Allah (1975 Original Grateful Dead Records Release). Visually inspected. Notable surface markings on both sides. Below average condition vinyl. I grade this as VG- condition vinyl. Cover: Extremely poor condition. Cover completely separated in two and has some water damage, it should be replaced. Inner sleeve: Not significant. 

4. New Riders of the Purple Sage - NRPS Self-Titled Debut (1971 Original Columbia Release). Visually inspected. Moderate surface markings both sides. Average looking vinyl. I grade this as VG condition vinyl. Cover: Average condition (VG) with basic wear and tear. Inner sleeve: Not significant.

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 sell internationally using the eBay global shipping program and send it to the US shipping center.

Packaging:

LP will be boxed carefully in a corrugated box made specifically for LPs to protect the cover.  LP package will include a clear plastic outer 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.

Other:

I have been collecting vinyl records for decades and I am in the process of downsizing my collection. Please check back frequently as I am expecting to be listings lots of vinyls as single listings as well as and group lot listings in coming months. 

Thanks for looking...
