A beautiful set in terrific condition, just in time for the holidaze!!  Sorry about the lousy photos, I will be replacing them when I get my new camera in a couple of day's...e-mail me if you need better photos.

VINYL is PLAY RATED MINT MINUS  NO Scuffs, scratches jumps or skips, the LP plays with near silent breaks between tracks and no clicks, tics, crackle or sizzle...they do not come much cleaner.  10 years ago you'd have paid $250 for this at a record convention...but the Ebay marketplace now makes it possible to have a solid "A" copy for much less, but it's still worth the $250 as an investment

JACKET is NEAR MINT MINUS No seam splits, No ring wear or other stains, minor discoloration and a bit of light seam scuffing along the top seam.  The gate is still strong and has some spring, it won't lay flat without pushing it down (which I will not do of course). The original inner olive green sleeve is in excellent condition with a professionally repaired seam split (repaired on the inside, not taped)

DO NOT PAY UNTIL YOU RECEIVE AN INVOICE - $1.50 IS ADDED ON FOR A NEW REINFORCED LP MAILER & HANDLING


DAVES RATINGS:
MINT - Either sealed or spotless vinyl which is play rated and without any background noise whatsoever - PERFECT
NEAR MINT - Vinyl is without scratches, jumps, pops, crackle or clicks - visually flawless and if play rated plays without background noise, may have some ultra light paper scuffing which does not affect play (a minus on Near Mint (NM-) is an indication of visual scuffs that do not affect play on an otherwise NM LP).
EXCELLENT -  I use this rating for LP's that appear to be VG++ with light scuffs and such, but they play closer to NM.  As with all the fine variations of grading, read the description with the grading
VERY GOOD ++ - Vinyl has some light paper scuffs but no scratches or imperfections that can or might cause obtrusive background noise, very light ticks or light crackle may be heard but only very sporadically. Very close to near mint visually but when played it is just a bit off. A great second copy while awaiting a perfect one.
VERY GOOD + - Vinyl has some light scuffs and or hairline scratches that produce light background noise, but no skips, jumps or serious imperfections, a good second rate copy while awaiting the nicer copy.
GOOD, FAIR or VERY GOOD MINUS - I DO NOT SELL RECORDS OF THIS RATING UNLESS THEY ARE EXTREMELY RARE COLLECTORS ITEMS WITH HIGH VALUES REGARDLESS OF CONDITION
