Mariah Carey Emotions Album, CBS Vinyl, 1991 Cat 4688511 Matrix 1A1/1B1 Sleeve EX+ (the only flaw is a 15mm 'bump' on the upper seam. The 'bump' has not become a split and is almost invisible. No other splits, strong spine.) Has been stored in and is supplied in a PVC sleeve. Vinyl EX+ (looks unplayed. No spindle marks.) Inner lyric bag has 4cm split on RHS seam. Vinyl stored in separate plastic bag. AN AUCTION QUALITY PIECE IN UNUSUALLY FINE CONDITION. IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ I grade my vinyl visually in good light using the Record Collector system Mint (M)The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condiition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.Excellent (EX)The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.Very Good (VG)The record has obviously been played many times, but displayes no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any moajor defects is acceptableGood (G)Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has notceably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etcFair (F)The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.Poor (P)The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missingBad (B)The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-fillerI will make an honest assessment; I rarely use 'mint' or 'near mint' unless the record is sealed. There is an element of "commensurate with age" to consider. If you are listening on expensive equipment with top quality headphones and do not expect any crackles or pops on your record you should be cautious about bidding on anything I list unless it is described as 'mint' - there is simply no way to be sure that vinyl has no audible flaws despite appearances and I do not expect to accept returns for this reason. 
RETURNS If you feel that I have materially mis-described an item you should understand that this will be an honest oversight and I will always attempt to rectify the matter with you to your satisfaction. If you are a normal vinyl enthusiast you should note the above but perhaps e-mail me if you want any specific reassurances before you bid.
IF YOU ARE BIDDING OVER £10 AND WOULD BE DISAPPOINTED WITH A CONDITION SLIGHTLY BELOW THE GRADING I HAVE GIVEN, GET IN TOUCH NOW AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO RE-CHECK AND GIVE AN AURAL GRADING TOO. I grade honestly but very occasionally have problems when buyers expectations of a second hand record are simply too high.
I do combine postage for multiple purchases - I will apply discount when I invoice you.
