• · CONDITION:

  · RECORD

  (IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted below, ALL records are graded visually, NOT play-graded!)

  (a) WE GRADE THE VINYL AS (WEAK) NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs - are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible, and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

  (b) The records have a "deep groove" (an indent in the label about 1/2-inch from the perimeter of the label, which on SOME labels is associated with very early or first pressings)

  (c) The records are pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the very first pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, exceedingly vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from your compact disc!

  (d) The album comes with its original 12-page illustrated booklet included

  (e) The records come in their original stock inner sleeves.

  (f) Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
