Description
VINYL Side 1: Plays Mint, visually it's barely M- with some ultra faint wispy inner sleeve marks seen under halogen light
Side 2: Plays Mint- with a trace of surface in the quietest spots, visually Mint
LABELS Side 1: Mint- with no spindle marks, just a bit of wear in the spindle hole
Side 2: EX+ due to ink rubs seen in photo
COVER: EX- overall. Specifically: solid seams and nice square spine, inside of gatefold is perfect, grade is due to ring wear which affects black covers, this one has a fair amount of ink rubs as seen in photos, but it is solid, unsplit and original.
POSTER: No pin-holes, tape or rips
INNER: Original un-split inner
DESCRIPTION: Very hard to find first edition labels like these. The vinyl is superb and very glossy.

_______________________________
I began buying records in the mid 60’s and I've always been fanatical about record care and storage.
The records I sell are from my personal collection, including backup copies. I've never been one to buy VG records or anything with an audible scratch, which eliminates the vast majority. If I do miss an audible flaw, then kindly contact me and it will be rectified.
I use standard US grading plus the UK grade of EX in order to eliminate the dreaded VG+++
Records are first inspected under a halogen light (the only light that shows every flaw) and any blemishes are examined with a 10x power magnifier which allows the grooves to be fully inspected. Then they’re play graded on a Linn Sondek LP12.
Over the decades, I've seen grading fads come and go, such as: “visual” grading by people who don't own a turntable; the current use of nonsense grades like NM+ and NM- as well as the dubious belief that there’s no such thing as a mint record.
As a record buyer, I've had a lot of over graded “garage sale” LPs arrive covered with gritty dust and greasy fingerprints while the seller claims a “visual” grade based on fantasy. Be assured that my records will arrive clean and fingerprint free.
