·                               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)          THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records ►click here (PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING A BID).

(b)          The album is believed to come with the original MFSL CERTIFICATE still intact.

(c)           The album comes with the original MFSL cardboard inner sleeve (we can see it through the opening)

(d)          The album is believed to come with the original insert/sheet (MFSL catalog)

(e)           The record almost certainly comers in its original inner, hi-grade MFSL PVC inner sleeve.

(f)            The record is pressed on a beautiful, high-quality, virgin-grade vinyl, which is usually used for audiophile, extended-dynamic-range, half-speed mastered and connoisseur pressings.

(g)          In addition, the record is pressed on a fairly thick, relatively inflexible vinyl.

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

·       COVER

COVER IS STILL SEALED; HOWEVER, WE ARE UNABLE TO GRADE IT MINT OR NEAR MINT DUE TO MINOR FLAWS LISTED BELOW; WE GRADE THIS COVER AS EXCELLENT OR VG++

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        A faint, barely visible water stain affects the area about 8 square inches in size in one top corner; there is no structural damage to the cover, and both cardboard base and paper slick are intact, however, the stain is visible and has caused some erosion in the firmness of the cover ,  a few microscopic peel-off marks  (VISIBLE ON BACK SIDE ONLY) and a slight warp in the affected area.

-        Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the top seam

-         Cover has some fraying/wear along the spine

-         Minor shelf wear noted on the top seam (nothing significant)

-         Cover has a partially split spine (between 2 and 4 inches  / 5 to 10 centimeters)

-         Back cover has a few yellowish dust speckles scattered here and there (these tiny spots are not overly obtrusive or distracting)

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS AND IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
