·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)            WE GRADE THE VINYL AS VERY GOOD+ . CAUTION: The vinyl is NOT MINT or NEAR MINT, but is nevertheless in a very nice and clean condition. There are some surface marks and abrasions, mostly light and superficial, although some may be longer than 1.1/4 inches (1 inch = 2.5 centimeters)

We could not "feel" these abrasions with our fingertip, and we suspect that they are NOT audible.

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

(c)             The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

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

·       COVER

THE COVER IS ABOUT VERY GOOD+(+)

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-         Cover has a partially split top seam (between 6 and 8 inches /15 to 20 centimeters); The seam used to be taped with a clear scotch tape, but tape has yellowed and broken / peeled off / in a few places, leaving unseemly yellowish tape residue.

-         Cover has some ring wear; On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and 10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 4.

-         Cover has some dirt- and dust-covered sections, probably from friction or from rubbing against the other record covers (these spots are similar to a common ring wear, but are different in one important way: while the ring wear is an irreversible damage that cannot be repaired, some of these rubbing marks may actually be possible to clean up with a minor effort)

-         Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the spine

-         Cover has two tiny, almost invisible, pinholes (or staple holes) along the opening edge. These tiny holes are NOT cutout holes.

-         Cover has some fraying/wear along the top and bottom seams.

-         Cover has two corners slightly worn / frayed / bent.

-         Cover shows some light yellowing on back side, apparently from aging.

-         Cover has a small quality control (inspection) stamp on the back panel

NO OTHER IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER:

-         No cut-out (drill) holes.

-         No cut-out corners

-         No saw-marks or indents

-         No writing

-         No peel-off marks

-         No stains

-         No mold or mildew spots

-         No stickers or labels

-         No water damage

-         No razor marks, scratches, pressure marks, lines, streaks, or cuts.

-         No warping

-         No wax, glue, paint or liquid drops on the cover

-         No bar codes

-         No RIAA stamps or stickers.
