Description

  • Artist & Title: L.L. Cool J ?– Radio 
  • Label & Cat #: 1985 Def Jam ?– Cat # on spine: FC 40239 // Cat # on labels: BFC 40239
  • Vinyl Grade: NM play graded *super nice pressing with only a couple light inaudible marks
  • Cover Grade: VG+ *nice jacket with little bit of wear on top seam, ring wear rub at top and some light bend creases
  • Inner Sleeve: original inner sleeve included and in good conditon, VG+ with partially open seams
  • Notes: LL was a mere 17 years old when he recorded his classic debut album Radio, a brash, exuberant celebration of booming beats and B-boy attitude that launched not only the longest career in hip-hop, but also Rick Rubin's seminal Def Jam label.  Radio is just as stripped-down and boisterously aggressive as any Run-D.M.C. album, sometimes even more so; the instrumentation is basically just a cranked-up beatbox, punctuated by DJ scratching. The result is rap at its most skeletal, with a hard-hitting, street-level aggression that perfectly matches LL's cocksure teenage energy. (AllMusic)  
GRADING STANDARDS: 

(M) Mint: Record and cover appear absolutely perfect in every way.  Grade is seldom used, even with sealed albums where the record itself can only be assumed to be mint.
(NM) Near Mint: Vinyl is shiny with no obvious signs of wear and plays perfectly with no audible imperfections. Cover is close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident. 
(EX or VG++) Excellent /Very Good ++: Record or jacket has a minimum of audible or visual imperfections. Vinyl has been handled and played very carefully. Light paper scuffs and/or spindle marks may be visible with no appreciable lessening in sound quality. Covers show very minor signs of handling and wear. 
(VG+) Very Good Plus: Record displays light scuffs, spindle marks or very light scratches that may create some noise disturbances, but don't affect one's overall listening experience. Jacket begins to show more prominent signs of storage wear and aging.
(VG) Very Good: Defects are more pronounced with visible signs of handling and playing. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially during soft passages and a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Covers may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached, although none of the flaws should be overwhelming. 
(G) Good / (G+)Good Plus: Vinyl will have scratches and visible groove wear. Record plays without skipping, although noticeable surface noise or ticks will be heard. Jackets have even more pronounced defects such as seam splits, tape, writing, ring wear, water damage or other defects.

PACKAGING & SHIPPING:

  • All records are sleeved and removed from jacket to prevent any seam splitting, and both then shipped inside a poly album sleeve. 
  • Shipping discounts are available when buying more than one item ($0.50 for each additional LP and $0.25 for each additional 45).
