RECORD DESCRIPTION:

Great vinyl, great sound from Mambo king Perez Prado. This is a Japanese import which you won't find often.

The vinyl's condition ranks a very strong VG+ with some ultra light scuffing and possibly a barely visible, ultra light needle mark. Listen to the clip I've included atop the pictures here for an unedited sample, there is some light background noise throughout but the music is very prominent. The record plays through seamlessly with no skips on my deck and the labels look great, just check out the pics.

The cover is VG+ condition with nice color on the front cover and only very light ring wear. The back has some foxing from age and the original price tag at the top right. The is a very small (about an inch) seam split at the spine. Inner sleeve is thin and original, it also has a couple splits. Record is in fantastic shape and has been taken care of.

I grade conservatively and take a lot of time to properly list my records so
bid with confidence.

PAYMENT:
PayPal please.

SHIPPING:
Delivery confirmation free for all orders inside the United States. Media mail for customers inside the US only! This record is in stock and will leave here within 1-5 business days, add 50 cents per each additional record when combining orders.

GRADING:
I will have the Goldmine Standard in mind when grading but will be taking plenty of pictures to represent the records condition. Any items having multiple condition grades: First grade is vinyl, second is the sleeve.

here are common grading abbreviations I may use:

bb-bb hole in cover
cc-cut corner
co-cutout
dh-drill hole
dj-disc jockey/promo
ep-extended play 7"
ph-punch hole
ps-picture sleeve
re-reissue

"Goldmine Standard" grading:
SS = Still Sealed
Never opened. Any flaws (torn shrinkrwrap, creasing) will be indicated in the description.

NM- = Near Mint Minus
Has been opened, but is still flawless
with no damage whatsoever.

VG+ = Very Good Plus
- Vinyl: May have scuff marks and signs of some wear but will still play almost perfectly throughout, with only "barely detectable" crackles or pops. A slight noise at the begining is allowable, but the remainder must be nearly flawless.
- Cover: May only have the slightest signs of normal wear.

VG = Very Good
The majority of records (worth selling) fall under this grade.
- Vinyl: May crackle, pop or make other annoying noises, but only occasionally,never continuously, and not more loudly than the music being listened to.
- Cover: Normal used cover wear such as ring wear and split seams. If there is abnormal damage such as tears or markings, but the seller still feels that it qualifies as a

"VG", the damage must be described in comments attached to the item.

G+ = Good Plus
- Vinyl: May have continuous crackles, pops, etc... but not so loud as to make the music completely unenjoyable for the casual listener.
- Cover: More than normal wear and tear.
