Factory Sealed Original 1978 Canadian Red Translucent 12" LP Vinyl Record. Atlantic - KSD 19180
Factory sealed, with hype sticker on the shrink-wrap. Official original 1978 Canadian Red vinyl issue.
This is a factory sealed 1978 Canadian Red vinyl issue, with the hype sticker on the original shrink wrap. This is not a bootleg, or a re-wrap. I try to avoid dealing in sealed records that do not have identifiers.
The vinyl and labels are factory sealed - Mint
The sleeve is Excellent, to Near Mint.  - EX+
This is a highly collectable issue, and the premium is the fact that it is factory sealed.
If the seal is broken, then there are NO returns. The shrink-wrap is clear, clean and unbroken. The corners are sharp, the edges are straight and it lays perfectly flat. There is a very slight corner crease on the Top Right, it is slight, and very hard to see.
Label: Atlantic ?– KSD 19180 Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Red Translucent

A few words about condition.

Grade & 
score out of 100
                                           GRADING
Mint is a Rigid Band - The next Four Grades are all Narrow Bands, that slightly widen as the condition gradually deteriorates - Good is still Good, but there is a rapid widening of the Grade Bands, as the condition deteriorates over the last Four grades.

MINT
100
The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.
The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
Only graded on records that are sealed or clearly unplayed.
 
NEAR MINT
97 to 99        

EXCELLENT
90 to 96
The record shows virtually no signs of having been played,  there is no lessening in sound quality.
The cover and  packaging might have the slightest of tiny defects.
 
The record shows some slight signs of having been played, but there is very little, (if any) lessening in sound quality.
The cover and  packaging might have very slight wear. 
 
VERY GOOD PLUS
80 to 89

VERY GOOD
69 to 79
The record shows signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality.
The cover and  packaging might have slight wear, light creasing.

The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch.
Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects.
This is an above average used record, that has been well looked after.




GOOD
56 to 68
The record has been played so much that the sound quality has deteriorated, but the record will still play through, and it will not be a completely unpleasant listening experience, even at the bottom of this grade (56).
The cover and contents may suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc. 




FAIR
41 to 55
The record is still playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even stick, skip or jump.. This is starting to be an unpleasant listening experience at the top of the grade (55) and will not be a pleasant listening experience at all by the end of it (41).
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. 
 
POOR
25 to 40
The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc.
The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing. 
 
BAD
0 - 24
The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
The Sleeve is non existent (0) or what is left, is only just recognisable.
