CONDITION:
THE RECORD:
IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight
a WE GRADE THE VINYL AS NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions mostly sleeve scuffs - are barely visible, but are probably inaudible, and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.
b The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording
c The record comes in its original, custom, inner sleeve, which is UNIQUE to this album.
d Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording
THE COVER
THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD VG .
The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:
- Cover has a visible wrinkle crease in one of the corners.
- Cover has JUST A HINT of ring wear nothing significant On the scale from 1 to 10 1 being the least, and 10 being the most severe , we assess the severity of ring wear as 2.
- Cover shows JUST A HINT of yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging BARELY VISIBLE
- Minor shelf wear noted on the seams nothing significant
- Cover has two corners slightly dinged nothing significant
NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER
POSTAGE SHIPPING:
We offer three postage rates for domestic orders: USPS Media Mail, USPS Priority Mail and USPS Express Mail and three rates for international shipments: USPS First Class, USPS Priority International Mail, and USPS Express International Mail in a small number of cases, we will, at our discretion and for purely technical reasons, substitute First Class Mail with eBay s Global Shipping, which is fundamentally the same service at about the same cost .
