Description
PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER). OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.
SEALED, MINT original pressing from 1986 on Capitol with embossed cover, glossy printed inner sleeve and original transparent 5-song rectangular hype sticker!!! This not a record club pressing or a cut-out. NO punch holes, corner clips or saw notches whatsoever. This is a genuine store-bought copy that was never opened. Four sharp corners. You will not be disappointed. Auction also includes a pair of ULTRA RARE original rigid, two-sided, in-store 12" X 12" promotional displays put out by Capitol with a copyright date of 1986 and a glossy album cover image of the Notorious LP on the rear!!! I bought these from a former Tower Records manager here in Chicago who was a Duranie and decided to rescue them from the Tower wall for her own private collection (which was staggeringly impressive). She told me that 99% of these displays were either tossed after they were displayed or never displayed at all and then tossed. Tower staff saw them as disposable swag and clutter and as a result very few survived from the 1980s. These are the kind of rare items Duranies are going to be fighting over in the very near future so don't sleep. You won't see another lot like this again.
I USE GOLDMINE GRADING: MINT (SEALED)
NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++: VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE
VG+: AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG: STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS
GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR: FILLER COPY ONLY. LOTS OF SCRATCHES
