Kenney Burrell Blue Note 1596 Vol 1 ANDY WARHOL SEALED!

 Kenny Burrell with Andy Warhol Cover, SEALED!!! Must hold to appreciate.

I don't know what is inside.  I have several more blue notes to auction (50+) many have west 61 st on the cover and west 63rd on the label.  Some have west 61st one the cover and Liberty Records on the label.  It is a thinner record so probably is a Liberty pressing.  If anyone has a method to check for a deep groove inside a sealed album or which pressing this is please let me know.  I need to sell this so I'm going to sell it anyway.  I've seen many of these pop up since I put this in my store 3 weeks ago, but this is the one they are trying to copy.  There is no reserve and all questions will get answered.  (Pictures give the condition) Thanks and Happy Bidding!!!

Grading Scale:

My grading scale for record is from the Goldmine standard, I follow it as closely as possible. When I in doubt I go to the lesser grading.  Many sellers "exaggerate" the condition to get the most money, it may cost me more to do this but I would rather have return customers.  Thanks.

(From Goldmine):

     Mint (M)   Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.

       Near Mint (NM or M-)   A nearly perfect record.
The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.

An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like.

Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.

Near Mint is the highest price listed in all Goldmine price guides. Anything that exceeds this grade, in the opinion of both buyer and seller, is worth significantly more than the highest Goldmine book value.

     Very Good Plus (VG+)  
A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.

Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK".

The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play.

Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.

In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.

     Very Good (VG)    Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.

Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.

Goldmine price guides with more than one price will list Very Good as the lowest price. This, not the Near Mint price, should be your guide when determining how much a record is worth, as that is the price a dealer will normally pay you for a Near Mint record.

     Good (G), Good Plus (G+)  Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white).

A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.

But, if it's something you have been seeking for years, and the price is right, get it...but keep looking to upgrade.  (I may sell these just for those who wish to have a the record and play it, it should not be considered part a valuable collectable.)

     Poor (P), Fair (F)   The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled, and written upon.

Except for impossibly rare records otherwise unattainable, records in this condition should be bought or sold for no more than a few cents each.
