Atlantic SD 8216
COVER: VG
LP: VG
Very rare, original US pressing which was quickly withdrawn when Atlantic wanted to use their new label. Sound is open and dynamic LP plays with some minor surface noise mostly at the beginning of each side and has a very, VERY slight warp which does not impact playback AT ALL. We fully tested this one all the way through and were stunned by its power. Usually when this pressing surfaces you are lucky to even find a G , but this one deserves its grade. As far as playback it could possibly even be given an EX grade, but there is enough wear and with the minor warp we are calling it a VG to be conservative. We think you ll be very happy. It s one of those records that plays better than it looks and it does not look bad at all Put this on with some volume and knock your walls down
Welcome To PopShop Records
We strive for customer satisfaction at every single level of service.
Every LP we sell displays pictures of the exact item up for auction. If it s a gatefold, we take a picture making that clear. If it isn t a gatefold, you won t see a picture of a gatefold. If the LP comes with an insert or inner, we make sure that things like this can be seen in a picture which accompanies the listing. If it has a company inner, we make that apparent in a photo. When you see an item up for auction, you can be certain that the photos which accompany it are the exact item you will receive should you win the auction
We handle LPs with the utmost care, pack and ship LPs with the utmost care and strive for 5 star record collector service from our door to yours.
What you won t get from us is non-stop hype on every single listing. We value your time and hope you ll value ours.
We typically list the item and grade it. No nonsense is our approach and we re
confident enough to stand behind that philosophy. We don t expect you to read a novel on each and
every item we sell. We let pictures tell the story and try to be succinct in the information which
we provide.
Every item gets a grade we feel confident in and our Grading Policy is available below.
We don t grade things like inner sleeves or inserts. These can be assumed to be on par with the
grade the cover has received. If something isn t, we ll make a special mention of it. Otherwise, if a
cover is graded NM and it includes an insert, you can expect the insert to also be NM. This policy
also appiles to any included promo items such as photos, hype sheets, etc.

Below
you will find the grading standards to which we do our best to adhere.
Unsure who to credit for this but aside from the mention of tape repairs
on VG covers which we do not do , it sums up our approach beautifully
DISC VINYL GRADESSS
STILL SEALED Sealed
at factory and never opened. Disc is assumed to be undamaged and mint,
but this cannot be proven until the album is actually opened and the
disc examined.M
MINT Perfection,
no flaws, defects, marks or otherwise indications of being handled or
played. Any scuffs, hairline scratches or other marks disqualify discs
from this category. I do not use this grade, as even the act of
inserting the disc or removing it from the paper sleeve may cause scuff
marks on the vinyl.NM or M-
NEAR MINT or MINT MINUS This
is highest grade that I will assign to opened, handled records. The
vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. A very minor, barely
visible scuff or two may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should
play with no audible noise. The label is bright, clean and unmarked.E or VG
EXCELLENT or VERY GOOD Disc
plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not
interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a hairline
scratch or two but nothing that is obvious or affects play. Vinyl is
bright and shiny label is clean and unmarked.VG
VERY GOOD PLUS Some
visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal
impact on the sound quality. Vinyl will still have good luster labels
may have minor imperfections small labels or initials, etc. but
otherwise clean.VG
VERY GOOD Vinyl
will have noticeable scratches or scuffs that cause minor surface
noise, but do not overpower the music. There will be no skips. Vinyl may
appear somewhat dull and grayish. Labels may have small tears, tape
marks, larger writing, etc. but still easily legible. There may be wear
or deformation of the spindle hole.G
GOOD Well-played,
dull, grayish vinyl with deeper scratches and wear causing distracting
surface noise hisses, pops, cracks and other nasties . The record will
still play through without any skips. Labels may be significantly
defaced or damaged.F
FAIR
P
POOR Unless
the record is particularly rare, I would not try to sell a record in
this condition. There will be major noise, surface damage, deep
scratches, and skips. Attempting to listen to these discs will be
painful. These discs are basically trash unless a collector desires one
to fill a space in a collection until a better one comes along.ALBUM COVER GRADESSS
STILL SEALED Album is still in the factory-applied shrink-wrapping.M
MINT Absolutely
perfect no corner dings, marks, tears, dents, impressions from the
disc, or other flaws. Cover should appear as if a record has never been
inside.NM or M-
NEAR MINT or MINT MINUS Very minor signs of wear or cover impressions. Artwork is as close to perfection as possible.E or VG
EXCELLENT or VERY GOOD Minor
disc impression or slight corner creases, no wrinkles, puckers, seam
splits or writing on the cover. Artwork is clean and unworn and there is
no ink wear.VG
VERY GOOD PLUS Cover
is clean but may have minor writing or marks and may show slight wear.
There may be just the start of ring wear, where the disc has created a
raised area on the cover that resulted in the ink wearing off the paper.
There may be slight discoloration or staining, minor seam wear, but no
splits or tears. Corners may have small creases or fraying.VG
VERY GOOD Covers
are worn and used. Seams may be starting to split or may have been
unobtrusively repaired with clear tape. I use special archival-quality,
non-yellowing, clear tape for all repairs. There is moderate ringwear,
but the artwork is still attractive. There may be yellowing or
discoloration and there may be larger writing, labels, or marks. Corners
may have damage or creases and there may be scratches or gouges that
otherwise damage the artwork.G
GOOD Several
but not all of the following flaws will apply: Seam splits, large
marker writing, major seam splits, significant ring wear, damaged
corners, tears, cuts, gouges, masking or duct tape seam repairs, or
other flaws and damage. Again, probably only useful to fill a collection
niche until something better can be found.F
FAIR
P
POOR Trash
