Dusty Springfield In Memphis... Plus Vinyl LP - Philips Price 83 Near Mint UK Import (1985) with Four Bonus Tracks
Condition: Near Mint Vinyl and Near Mint Cover. Vinyl was play-tested on both sides and plays beautifully throughout. Original cover has great color, no splits, still has gloss, and includes original inner sleeve.
Dusty in Memphis was the fifth studio album by Dusty Springfield. The album was released in March 1969 in the United States by Atlantic Records, and Philips Records distributed the record outside the U.S. 
This reissue from 1985 includes 4 bonus tracks. The last four tracks on side B were A sides of singles issued in the USA 1970, 1976 and 1971 respectively.
Dusty in Memphis sold poorly upon its initial release, despite featuring one of Springfield's top-10 UK hits, "Son of a Preacher Man". It has since been generally acclaimed as her best work and one of the greatest albums of all time. Music critic Robert Christgau called it "the all-time rock-era torch record."  In 2001, it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked the record 89th on the magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, before rising to number 83 in a 2020 reboot of the list. According to Richie Unterberger of AllMusic, the album's reputation has improved significantly over time as the music is "deserving of its classic status".

_____________________________________________

I use the Goldmine Grading System, and play-test all records. I note any differences between vinyl and cover, and make note of any inserts, special sleeves, or potential defects.

MINT (M) - Absolutely perfect in every way. Most often this is a still sealed record, records that have been opened are rarely if ever marked as Mint.

NEAR MINT (NM) - A good description is that it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time. In other words, it?s nearly perfect, with no visible defects. 

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) - Except for a couple minor things, this could be Near Mint. Most collectors will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if on the high end (VG++). VG+ records may show slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Covers should have only minor wear. 

VERY GOOD (VG) - VG records are among the biggest bargains, and for many, will be worth the money. They can lack the original gloss, may have surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages. But the noise will not overpower the music. VG covers will have signs of handling, and may have minor splits. 

GOOD PLUS (G+) - Good+ does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, but it has significant surface noise and groove wear. Cover may have significant ring wear, noticeable writing, or obvious damage.

GOOD (G) - Record may have some skipping, but is otherwise listenable. I generally avoid selling Good (G) rated records unless they are highly collectible or desirable, in order to enjoy until something better comes along. Cover has major wear or seam splits that need repair, or heavy writing like radio station call letters to prevent theft.
