Condition Description: Very good, pre-owned condition. Vinyl is in very good condition with only a couple light scuffs that I cannot hear passing by. Audio quality is top notch. Inside sleeve is the original plain paper sleeve with no damage. The outside sleeve has mild wear as seen in photos. This is a nice copy.

Inner Sleeve: Original

Outer Slipcover Sleeve: New
Ultrasonically Cleaned: Yes

Most records will be ultrasonically cleaned unless they appear to be new, or for whatever reason I chose not to clean them. Please keep in mind that while this is the preferred way to clean vinyl, it's not guaranteed to clean records 100%. There may be occasions where gunk or greasy fingerprints may still remain on the record. I'll let the buyer use their preferred cleaning method to finish cleaning the remaining soil ultrasonic cleaning doesn't get to. .
All records will be shipped with an inside sleeve whether it's new or original and a plastic cover to protect from shipping scuffs.
PLEASE BE SURE TO READ BELOW TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE GRADE I do the best I can in sampling each record for quality of sound. Unfortunately I cannot listen to every one all the way through but I do select a section of the album that appears to be the worst and make a judgement from that. That's not to say that it will be the worst quality of sound, but it will physically
look like it should be.

Please note that we are not a grading nor record collecting professionals. We use our best judgement using the grading system shown below. Please refer to the photos of each item to see the condition for yourself and ask questions if you have any.
As an example; if there is an item that somebody might grade with a + or ++, we will give it the same grading, removing the +'s. ie. "VG++" becomes "VG" according to our system.
Here are the general grading rules we use. Again, no + conditions will be applied:

Mint - The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration of sound quality.

Excellent  (EX) - The record shows some signs of having been played but there is no deterioration of sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and an occasional light scuff and/or scratch. .

Very Good (VG) - The record has obviously been played many times and has mild scuffs and/or scratches and displays lessening of sound quality.

Good - The record has been played so much the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated perhaps with some distortion and scratches.

Fair - The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise. It may even jump.

Poor - The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc.

Bad - The record is unplayable and might even be broken and is only of use as a collection filler.

eBay's given grading categories will be used in this way: Recording Grading - The condition of the vinyl Sleeve Grading - On an LP it's the main outer sleeve. For a 45 it will be the paper sleeve.
Inlay condition - This will be used for items that originally came inside the album; pictures, stickers, literature..etc.

All records will be shipped with a vinyl sleeve to protect the album during shipment against scuffs and abrasions. They will also be shipped with an inner paper sleeve whether we use the originally provided sleeve, or a new one provided by us.
