EXCERPT FROM AN ANONYMOUS ONLINE REVIEW
CONDITION:
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 STRONG VG . A few light abrasions ARE VISIBLE, but they appear fairly insignificant relative to the overall condition of the vinyl, and are only moderately visually distracting. For most part, the vinyl looks impeccable, without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.
b The album comes with the original typewritten letter from Bernard Stollman.
c 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
d Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording
COVER : This reference pressing comes without any custom jacket, and will be shipped in its original plain, generic, thick cardboard BLACK cover NOT GRADED SEPARATELY, BUT IN A VERY NICE CONDITION OVERALL
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 .
