VISUALLY, THE 53 YEAR OLD THICK VINYL PLATTER IS IN EX- CONDITION!

I HAVE EXAMINED THIS UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND SEE MANY EXTREMELY LIGHT SCUFFS/HAIRLINES.  (MOSTLY THE SWIRLY VARIETY) NOTHING THAT I CONSIDERED TO FEEL-ABLE WITH POSSIBLY THE EXCEPTION OF A SMALL PORTION OF 1. THEY DID NOT HOWEVER EFFECT THE OUTSTANDING LISTENING EXPERIENCE!

THE LABLES ARE FREE OF ANY WRITING OR STICKERS AND ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AS WELL! THERE APPEARS TO BE SOME MINOR TOUCH-UP AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE.

OVERALL I GRADE THE VINYL AS EX-

THE COVER IS PRESENTS VERY NICELY. THERE IS NO SPLITTING,OR STICKERS ANYWHERE! THE SPINE IS STRONG, TIGHT AND PERFECTLY READABLE. THE SEAMS ARE UN-SPLIT & NICE AND TIGHT WITH SIGNS OF WEAR AT THE CORNERS. THERE IS A TINY PIECE OF CLEAR TAPE AT THE MOUTH OF THE UPPER SEAM TO APPARENTLY WARDOFF A POTENTIAL SPLIT. THERE IS MINOR EVIDENCE OF RING/SHELF WEAR ON THE FRONT AND AN EXTREMELY SMALL AMOUNT OF THE REVERSE SIDE. THERE IS EVIDENCE OF A NAME JIM THAT WAS MOSTLY REMOVED IN THE UPPER RIGHT VERY LIGHT AND HARDLY NOTICABLE.

THE REVERSE SIDE LINER NOTES ARE INFORMATIVE TOTALLY READABLE & CLEAN. THIS IS THE MEGA-RARE VERSION WITH THE TOP BANNER PRINTED IN RED AS WELL AS THE SONG TITLES. ALL LATER PRESSINGS HAD ALL BLACK PRINTING OR A TOTALLY DIFFERENT COVER.

THERE ARE SOME MINOR DINGS/CREASES/SCUFFS & STAINING AS SHOWN.

BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS THE COVER GRADES EX AND PRESENTS PROUDLY!

     I HAVE  PLAY GRADED THIS AND THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS OUTSTANDING!!!

SOME MINOR NOISE HERE AND THERE MOSTLY BETWEEN SONGS BUT NOTHING I CONSIDERED TO BE DISTRACTING AT ALL!  THERE WERE NO SKIPS, STICKS OR DISTRACTING POPS, HISSES, CLICKS, TICS OR BURPS! AN AWESOME LISTENING COPY!

OVERALL THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE GRADES NRMT-!

  OVERALL CONSIDERING ALL OF THE ABOVE I GIVE THIS ROCKIN' LP A GRADE OF EX

ALL RECORDS ARE VISUALLY INSPECTED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. I TRY TO PLAY GRADE WHEN POSSIBLE OR AT LEAST IN ANY AREAS IDENTIFIED AS QUESTIONABLE FROM THE VISUAL INSPECTION.

MINT

Mint records are in most cases sealed in original shrink wrap. The only wear permissible is to the shrink wrap itself.

NEAR-MINT

 NM records have glossy vinyl. There are no visible defects such as writing, tape, or stickers on the labels. The labels should not contain any spindle marks (from someone blindly trying to put the record on the turntable) The vinyl may have a few extremely fine hairline scratches or light scuffs that do not affect the sound quality. The vinyl will "appear" to have been unplayed (It may very well have been played and well-cared for) The album cover will have NO writing, tape, creases, folds, seam splits ,stains, ring wear or Promo holes or cuts!

VG+ (EXCELLENT)

VG+ records have glossy vinyl. Slight signs of wear, including light scuffs, very light scratches or slight warping that does not  seriously affect the listening experience is permissible. Very slight intermittent background noise mostly in the quiet passages is acceptable. 

The album cover will have no more than three of the following imperfections: light writing such as initials or name in one area, minor creasing, seam splits not larger than 1".  Neatly taped seams of 2" or less. It may also contain very slight ring wear or discoloration, a promo stamp, punch hole or cut-out as originally sold.

VG

VG Records have more obvious flaws such as more pronounced scratches & lack of gloss. Groove wear and scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail are common. When played there will be surface noise but it should not continuously overpower the music. There are NO skips permissible with no more than 1.5 grahams of tracking force. It is common to hear crackling and pops especially in the quiet passages. The labels may contain writing such as a persons name or initials or it may contain a piece of tape or sticker with or without writing. The cover may have some seam splits, writing, tape, stickers, ring wear and scuffs.

VG-

VG- All of the defects listed VG category would be more pronounced. The record will play through without skipping WITH NORMAL tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. The record will have many obvious flaws but still enjoyable to listen to. Generally if the record is rare, it is still highly collectible.

G/G+

Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping WITH NORMAL tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. It will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
