RECORD GRADING: We grade conservatively, so that our buyers are pleasantly surprised rather than disappointed when their records arrive.
VINYL CONDITION: VG+ (VERY GOOD PLUS) Has minor scuffs and a hairline scratch or two, but minimal impact on the sound quality. Vinyl is bright and shiny. Production bubbles on both sides. The last two pictures show these well. I can hear a slight wind noise in between some of the tracks. LABEL CONDITION: NM- (NEAR MINT MINUS) Very minor shelf wear ALBUM COVER CONDITION: NM- (NEAR MINT MINUS) This cover is impressive. Very shiny. Slight corner wear, but otherwise extremely minor ring, seam, spine, and shelf wear. Very minor discoloration of white back. Some of the black writing on back appears to have been touched up. The cover looks really good.
*Pictures: We provide detailed pictures in an effort to give a clear understanding of the record that is being auctioned. Our goal is to provide quality views so that it is like you are holding the record in your hand looking at it.

Record Grading Guide:
SS
(STILL SEALED)
Sealed at factory and never opened. Disc is assumed to be undamaged and mint, but this cannot be proven until the album is actually opened and the disc examined.
M
(MINT)
Perfection, no flaws, defects, marks or otherwise indications of being handled or played. Any scuffs, hairline scratches or other marks disqualify discs from this category. I do not use this grade, as even the act of inserting the disc or removing it from the paper sleeve may cause scuffmarks on the vinyl.
NM or M-
(NEAR MINT or MINT MINUS)
This is highest grade that I will assign to opened, handled records. The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. The label is bright, clean and unmarked.
NM- (NEAR MINT MINUS)
Disc plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs. There can possibly be a hairline scratch or two with very light pop or crackle. Vinyl is bright; label is clean and may show only very light marks.
VG+
(VERY GOOD PLUS)
Some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact, possibly very minor sound quality loss. Vinyl will still have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections (small labels or initials, etc.) but otherwise reasonable & clean.
VG
(VERY GOOD)
Vinyl will have noticeable scratches or scuffs that cause minor surface noise, but do not overpower the music. There will be no skips. Vinyl may appear somewhat dull and grayish. Labels may have small tears, tape marks, larger writing, etc. but still easily legible. There may be wear or deformation of the spindle hole.
G
(GOOD)
Well-played, dull, grayish vinyl with deeper scratches and wear causing distracting surface noise (hisses, pops, cracks and other nasties). The record will still play through without any skips. Labels may be significantly defaced or damaged.
F
(FAIR)
Unless the record is particularly rare, I would not try to sell a record in this condition. There will be major noise, surface damage, deep scratches, and skips. Attempting to listen to these discs will be painful. These discs are basically trash unless a collector desires one to fill a space in a collection until a better one comes along.
