Description
Bob Dylan - Biograph (Columbia 38830-LP). This is the original 5LP box set. It is an early pressing, see the matrix numbers below. The LPs are in the original printed sleeves, which are lined with plastic. Includes the large format 36 page booklet. Mastered at Sterling. The sound quality is excellent and better than my CD version of Biograph. The LPs are in perfect condition, with shiny vinyl, no blemishes, and appear rarely played. I played all the LPs one time to grade the records.

LP GRADING
All of the LPs I sell are from my personal collection. Vinyl is play graded on sound, not looks. Visible marks will be noted. If not sealed, I have played and enjoyed the album. If you are an experienced record collector, I'm sure you will be pleased with my LP's and grading system (please see the 8000+ positive feedbacks I have received from buyers).
M- = Mint Minus. Plays quietly. Either a nearly new recently manufactured LP, or an older LP in excellent condition for its age. Older LP's (30-50 years old) rated M- may have an occasional tick or groove noise.
VG++ = Record may have surface noise or ticks here and there. Many rare/collector LP receive this rating.
VG+ = Some noticeable surface noise, but not so much that record is not enjoyable.
VG = Definitely some major noise or other imperfections, but worth it because the record is so rare.
COVER GRADING
M- = Recent albums still look new, and older collector's albums look nearly new..accounting for some small fading or loss of cover gloss. I post pictures of all the albums I'm selling so you can see for yourself.
VG++ = Still looks good,but used. Minor imperfections will be noted in listing.
VG+ = Some strong wear. Possibly seam splits and/or taped seams.
VG= Beaten senseless
