ALVIN CASH Saddle Up / The Getaway PROMO Funk (Tested) 2098 CHESS VG+. TESTED. Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Media Mail.

We take pride in our vinyl. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask. The records are visually graded and if there is any question then it’s put on the record player and listened to.

We are happy to combine shipping of multiple items. Please let me know if you need this and we will send you an invoice with your items combined and the new cost of shipping.

We ship records via Media Mail in the USA. We are also happy to ship internationally. All our records and sleeves are shipped in cardboard record mailing boxes.

NM  The record looks basically new. There are NO hairline scratches, NO marks of ANY KIND. Some records (especially recent pressings on 180g vinyl) come new with spots of discoloration, for which we do not downgrade. I do not use NM+ or NM-, only Near Mint.  

 

EX  As soon as we see even the slightest, faintest line, the record is no longer Near Mint but rather goes into this category. An Excellent record can have a small handful of light marks. Only inaudible light scuffs. This grade should be considered “close to perfect.”

 

VG+  When a record has more than a handful of light marks, it goes into this category. More marks and a few light hairlines are acceptable here.  Nothing that will cause repeating ticks or looks like it will cause consistent background noise or anything like that.  A VG+ record will satisfy most collectors.

 

VG  The record can have quite a few hairlines and maybe a few scratches.  There will likely be some noise, but it should play through and be very enjoyable. These are Very Good records and will satisfy most customers, unless you have a $300,000 stereo and want your records to sound as quiet as CDs (in which case, better stick to NM and EX). Fine for parties and casual listening.

 

VG-  Definitely noticeable surface noise.  Scratches.  Likely will play all the way through without skipping on a standard turntable with a properly set-up arm/needle, but may not.

 

G+  More and deeper marks and scratches, consistent noise, possible skips.  We rarely offer records in this condition.

 

G    This is 1 step above POOR, which is basically unplayable but will be desirable if it’s rare enough. We rarely offer records in this condition.

 

POOR  It’s a wall hanging, looks good on a shelf, maybe you have a cover and need the record or vice versa. Again, we rarely sell these.
