DESCRIPTION:

Lot of 4 Pink Floyd LP Record Albums 

Piper at the Gates of Dawn/Atom Heart Mother/More (OST)/Dark Side of the Moon (Low Grade)

Vinyl Condition: VG- to VG

Details:

Lot of 4 low grade to average condition Pink Floyd record albums. All vinyls cleaned, visually inspected, and playgraded. Records are in VG- to VG condition based on grading criteria listed below. Lot includes all vinyl records as pictured. 

1. Piper at the Gates of Dawn (Debut) (Original Tower Label Release). It should be noted that this record was factory mis-labeled as both sides have a "Side 2" label as shown. Only way to determine which side is correct is to look at number of tracks (Side 1 has 5 tracks and Side 2 has 4 tracks). Record includes all tracks there is just no "Side 1" label. Record visually inspected and also playgraded. Side 1: Visually, notable surface markings, below average looking condition album side. Played this side and noted some "ticks/pops" on some of the tracks, no skips noted. Average sounding album side. I grade Side 1 as a VG- (Near VG) condition album side. Side 2: Moderate surface markings, average looking album side. Played this side and noted moderate to light surface noise, no skips noted. Average sounding album side. I grade Side 2 as a VG condition album side. Cover: Missing and not included in this listing. Included is a plain generic cover to protect record. Inner sleeve: Not significant.

2. Atom Heart Mother (Harvest Release) – Visually inspected and also playgraded. Visually, moderate surface markings noted on both sides. Played both sides and only noted light to moderate surface noise, no skips. Average sounding record. I grade this as a VG condition record album. Gatefold Cover: Below average condition (G) with more than average wear  and some minor water damage noted. Inner gatefold colour/condition looks average as shown, no significant issues. Inner sleeve: Not significant. 

3. More (Original Soundtrack) (Original Tower Release) – Visually inspected and also playgraded. Side 1: Moderate surface markings, average looking album side. Smudge marks noted on Tracks 4 and 5. Played this side and noted moderate to light surface noise, no skips noted. Average sounding album side. I grade Side 1 as a VG condition album side. Side 2: Some light surface markings, slightly above average looking album side. I grade Side 2 as a VG (Near VG+) condition album side. Cover: Below average condition (G) with more than average wear noted and seam splitting. Inner sleeve: Not significant.

4. Dark Side of the Moon (Harvest Release) – Visually inspected and also playgraded. NOTE: This is a LOW grade record and plays with significant issues, please read entire description. Make no mistake, this is a well used record and some tracks do not play cleanly. Side 1: Warp that affects Track 1 "Speak to Me" and Track 2 "Breathe". Both Tracks 1 and 2 are unplayable as needle jumps repeatedly. Moved needle to Track 3 "On the Run" which plays without issue. Track 4 "Time" and Track 5 "The Great Gig in the Sky" play with light to moderate surface noise, no skips. Side 1, Tracks 3-5 are average sounding tracks. Side 2: Visually, light to moderate surface markings, average looking condition album side. Played Side 2 and Track 1 "Money" is unplayable as it skips repeatedly. Remaining Side 2 tracks play without issue, average sounding tracks with light to moderate surface noise noted, no skips. Gatefold Cover: Below average condition (G) with more than average wear. Inner gatefold colour/condition looks average as shown, no significant issues. Inner sleeve: Not significant. 

Records listed have 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 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...
