RECORD DESCRIPTION: MELVINS/NIRVANA SPLIT SINGLE "VENUS IN FURS/HERE SHE COMES NOW", COMMUNION #23-- ORIGINAL PURPLE SWIRL!

MATRIX INFO (hand-written):
a) (T) COMM 23 A1 L-37601
b) (T) COMM 23 AA1 L-37601X

ITEM CONDITION: RECORD IS WONDERFUL, LIKE NEW NM/MINT 99! ABSOLUTELY NO SIGNS OF WEAR ON THE VINYL OR LABELS, EVEN WHEN VIEWED DIRECTLY UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT. I PURCHASED THIS RECORD ON BRAND NEW ON SEATTLE'S CAPITOL HILL AT ORPHEUM RECORDS. IT WAS IN THE NEW RELEASE AREA, SO I KNOW THAT IT WAS PURCHASED WITHIN ABOUT A MONTH OF ITS RELEASE. IT HAS BEEN PLAYED EXACTLY 1 TIME SINCE PURCHASED NEW, AND IT WAS CAREFULLY PLAYED ON MY DUAL 606 WITH A SHURE M97XE CARTRIDGE ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO.

OF COURSE, IT PLAYED LIKE NEW AND REMAINS IN AMAZING SHAPE. THE LABELS ARE NM/MINT 99 WITH NO SIGNS OF USE. THE JACKET IS NEAR MINT 96 WITH SOME VERY LIGHT EDGE WEAR, AND A COUPLE OF LIGHT IMPRESSIONS OF THE RECORD, BUT NO CREASES OR SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE AT ALL.  CHECK ALL THE PHOTOS BELOW FOR CONDITION, AND NOTE THE MULTIPLE COLORS INCLUDED WITH THE PURPLE!!

THIS ORIGINAL RECORD IS SHOWS ALL OF THE INDICATORS OF A TRUE ORIGINAL PRESSING, AND I ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEE IT IS THE REAL DEAL (CHECK THIS WEBSITE FOR DETAILS: http://sliver.it/nirvana/test/index.html ). ADDITIONALLY, IT WOULD BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO UPGRADE. GOOD LUCK AND CHECK OUT MY OTHER COOL PUNK/GRUNGE RECORDS!

GRADING SCALE
ALL RECORDS VISUALLY GRADED UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED. I WILL USE + OR - IF NEEDED FOR BORDERLINE ITEMS

MINT SEALED: SAYS IT ALL! JACKET WILL BE GRADED SEPARATELY TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY FLAWS

NEAR MINT/MINT 95-100: RECORD WILL LOOK BRAND NEW, NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF USE AND ONLY THE LIGHTEST OF SLEEVE MARKS MAY BE NOTICEABLE WHEN VIEWED DIRECTLY UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT. JACKET AND LABELS WILL SHOW LITTLE TO NO SIGNS OF USE OR WEAR OF ANY KIND. ONLY THE NICEST, LIKE-NEW ITEMS WILL GET THIS TOUGH GRADE!

EXCELLENT 80-94: LOOKS GORGEOUS WITH MINOR FLAWS TO KNOCK IT DOWN FROM NEAR MINT. SHOULD STILL LOOK LIKE NEW AT A GLANCE.

VERY GOOD 70-79: RECORD AND/OR JACKET WILL SHOW SIGNS OF USE, BUT NOTHING MAJOR. RECORD WILL SHOW LIGHT MARKS FROM FREQUENT USE, BUT NO DEEP SCRATCHES, NO LOUD REPEATING POPS AND CERTAINLY NO SKIPS OR RETURNS. RING WEAR MAY START TO SHOW ON THE COVER, AND SMALL SEAM SPLITS MAY BE PRESENT, BUT SEAM MUST BE LARGELY INTACT.

GOOD 60-69: RECORD AND JACKET WILL SHOW SIGNIFICANT SIGNS OF USE. STILL A RECORD THAT IS PLAYABLE AND NO SKIPS OR RETURNS.

FAIR 50-59: A WELL LOVED ALBUM THAT WILL PLAY WILL SHOW MUCH USE AND LITTLE CARE. I WILL NEVER LIST A FAIR OR WORSE RECORD UNLESS IT IS INSANELY RARE IN ANY CONDITION!!

POOR 49 AND LOWER: SEAMS TOTALLY SPLIT, TONS OF SURFACE WEAR ON LABELS AND RECORD. AGAIN, ONLY IMPOSSIBLY RARE RECORDS WOULD EVER SHOW UP IN MY EBAY WITH THIS GRADE.

ABOUT ME: I AM AN EXTREMELY PICKY COLLECTOR. ALL RECORDS ARE INSPECTED UNDER A BRIGHT BULB AND I MAKE SURE TO NEVER OVERSTATE THE CONDITION OF MY COLLECTIBLES. MY EQUIPMENT IS A DUAL 606 TURNTABLE AND A SHURE M97XE CARTRIDGE THAT HAS LESS THAN 150 HOURS ON IT. IF YOU ARE EVER UNHAPPY WITH MY GRADING, I WILL GLADLY ACCEPT RETURNS AND REFUND YOUR MONEY!
STAY TUNED FOR MANY MORE RECORDS OF ALL GENRES!!

 * DUE TO SOME MUCH-NEEDED ADVICE FROM A FELLOW EBAYER, I CANNOT ACCEPT RETURNS FOR THIS ITEM DUE TO UNSCRUPULOUS BUYERS SWITCHING DISCS AND RETURNING THEM. ALSO, ALL ITEMS WILL SHIP WITH INSURANCE AND WILL BE DECLARED FOR THE FULL VALUE OF THE ITEM. I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT SPELLING THAT OUT IN THE AUCTION, BUT IT IS STANDARD PRACTICE WHEN SHIPPING VALUABLE ITEMS OVERSEAS.
