THIS IS A SUPER NICE BOX SET OF THIS RARE ROLLING STONES MOBILE FIDELITY RELEASE INCLUDING LOTS OF EXTRAS.   THE OUTER BOX IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR ITS AGE EXCEPT FOR ONE SMALL MARK ON THE FRONT AND THAT IS PRETTY MUCH IT.   THIS IS THE CLEANEST BOX SET OF THIS TITLE THAT I HAVE EVER HAD THE PRIVILAGE TO OWN.   THE SWINGINGING DOOR IS FULLY ATTACHED AND FUNCTIONS AS IT SHOULD.  THE BRASS HINGES AND LATCH ARE NOT TARNISHED AT ALL.  THE FELT PAD ON THE BOTTOM OF THE BOX LOOKS AWESOME AS WELL.

EMBLEM ON THE INSIDE OF THE SWINGING DOOR SHOWS THE LIMITED EDITION NUMBER AS #3422 OUT OF THE 10,000 THAT WERE PRODUCED.   INCLUDEDS THE GEO-DISC WHICH IS IN GREAT CONDITION ALONG WITH ITS OUTER SLEEVE.   ALSO INCLUDED IS THE COLORED ART BOOK WITH THE ORIGINAL OUTER PROTECTIVE WHITE COVER STILL ATTACHED.   THERE ARE NO MARKING OR TEARS TO THE PAGES IN THE BOOK.

OTHER EXTRAS INCLUDE THE INDIVIDUALLY LARGE HAND NUMBERED WHITE  ENVELOPE, 16 PAGE (8 1/2" x 6 1/4") COLORED CATALOG, WARRANTY CARD AND THE NUMBERED POST CARD FOR THE LIMITED EDITON POSTER AVAILABLE WHEN YOU SENT THE POST CARD IN TO MFSL.  I AM ALSO GOING TO INCLUDE A COPY OF THE 12” x 24” POSTER IN THIS AUCTION EVEN THOUGH THE NUMBERED CARD IS STILL ENCLOSED.  

THE OUTER VINYL SLEEVES ARE RATED VG+ WITH #3 & #11 HAVING A 1" SPLIT ON THE BOTTOM SEAM.  THERE IS SOME MINIMAL EDGE WEAR TO THE REST OF THE SLEEVES BUT NOTHING OVERWHELMING AND THE SURFACE OF EACH SLEEVE LOOKS GREAT.  THEY ARE STILL THE BEST SET I HAVE HAD IN MY POSSESSION.  EACH PIECE OF THE 11 VINYL RECORDS HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE JACKET/SLEEVE AND PACKAGED NEXT TO THE SLEEVE IN ORDER TO AVOID ANY SEAM SPLITS WHILE IN TRANSIT.  THE VINYL ITSELF IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH A BOLD LUSTRE SHINE AND IS RATED NM-.  THIS IS A SUPER NICE SET AND IT SHOULD NOT DISAPPOINT. 

A QUALITY MFSL VINYL SET THAT WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION!  THIS ONE IS A KEEPER!

GRADING

Record conditions are determined using the tried and true "Goldmine" grading scale found in Tim Neely's Goldmine Record Album Price Guide. For your reference the grades are reprinted here:

Mint (M): Absolutely perfect in every way - certainly never played, possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all.

Near Mint (NM or M-): A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this, implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. An LP jacket should have no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticable similar defect. 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 retail 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+): Generally worth 50 percent of the Near Mint value. 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 slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that don't 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. LP inner sleeves will have some slight ring wear, lightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP jacket may also have slight signs of wear 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 minor 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. A synonym used by some collectors and dealers for "Very Good Plus" is "Excellent."

Very Good (VG): Generally worth 25 percent of the Near Mint value. Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a Very Good disc. Surface noise will be evident on 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 will 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.

Good (G), Good Plus (G+): Generally worth 10-15 percent of the Near Mint value. 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 jacket 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.

As no two individuals will grade the same record the same way, I put an honest effort on all grading.  As grading is an approximation, please view and consider each selection carefully.  Realize that vinyl listed as used is so and verify the grading it is given before placing a bid.  All grades given are visual unless otherwise noted as I do try to play grade the record if time permits.

If the record is STILL SEALED then I have no way of verifying the condition of the disc itself and can not guarantee its playability other than noting it is in a sealed state.
