- 170 gram vinyl
- 1st Edition
- 1N matrices and KT tax code
Vinyl VG - Full detailed sound and lovely tone. Light surface marking. Light background noise but nothing to detract from the listening pleasure. Some groove tracking wear on Side 2, particularly tracks B1 and part B2.
Cover G+ - The laminated cover remains clean and shiny marred by a few creases and a stubborn label residue (image 4 and 8). The spine is crisp. the opening edge and corner have softened. Some shelf wear with the beginning of a split along the top (image 8). The un-laminated rear is a little grubby with no foxing. New anti static inner liner.
Note - This album is not perfect but for all it's 'faults' it presents and plays pretty well. So priced to reflect its shortcomings, I believe this is a great opportunity to purchase a much more than serviceable copy of a great rare album.
£3 Discount for each additional album purchased at the same time.
Given that Ebay is an unseen, trust based marketplace, my assessment's will be conservative, detailed and based upon listening to the records for sale.
Near Mint (NM or M-)
A nearly perfect record. A NM- record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. I am unlikely to ever use this grading for vinyl quality unless I KNOW a record to be new, unplayed and probably still wrapped.
A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.
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. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, surfaces may show slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences.
The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Picture sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by an indentation or sample distribution cut. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.
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, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches 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.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+)
In truth I wouldn’t usually bother listing vinyl in this condition, that is with ‘noticeable surface noise and ticks’ although I would consider listing an unusual record with a cover in this condition where ‘seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present’
