THE KINKS - Face To Face - VG 1966 Vinyl LP - R-6228
This sleeve is in great shape. Ink loss and ring wear on the front is almost nonexistent. The white back cover shows a tiny bit of ring wear. Seams and spine are solid and shiny. Corners are NOT furry. Rivet in top left corner. Please look at pictures. VG+ on the cover. Original inner sleeve is in nice shape. I'll ship the album outside the inner sleeve. Side One plays very well. The vinyl is quiet between songs and has rich fidelity. A smattering of little pops can be found but they spread around and unobtrusive. Side Two started with two little pops but has been very quiet between songs. There are a few little pops spread across this side as well but nothing very loud or repetitive. I'm downgrading this vinyl to VG but this is a player. What imperfections exist are infrequent and reside in an ocean of beautiful vinyl.

Every vinyl is cleaned by hand and inspected. Every vinyl is played while I'm creating the listing, then graded. A vinyl outer sleeve is provided to secure the jacket, inner sleeve, and vinyl. I only ship in LP mailers. Cardboard stiffeners are always used. Corners are reinforced with tape. The package is marked fragile. Then we put our trust in the USPS. Record Grading Standards:
MINT (M)
These are absolutely perfect in every
way.
NEAR MINT (NM)
This is the highest rating I use. NM is almost always sealed. Occasionally I will find a jacket or vinyl that is so close to flawless that I will use NM. But NM is typically factory sealed.
The appearance of VG vinyl can be really nice, or not so nice. A visual description will be provided. These albums can get very specific attention when on the turntable. Spectacular looking vinyl can play like an average record and a beat up survivor can play surprisingly well. These are VG vinyls to me.
GOOD PLUS (GP) These are showing their age with split seams, dented corners, or stains. Photographs and description will be provided. These can be lovable because they are broken in.
