FOR LINK TO MY GRADING SCALE :
CLICK HERE DESCRIPTION THIS IS A STEREO RECORD LP. IT`S VERY NICE AS IT`S STILL SEALED. "SEE THE PICTURE BELOW" THE COVER HAS ONE TINY 1 INCH TEAR IN THE FRONT SHRINK WRAP , THE COVER IS NOT TORN , JUST THE SHRINK WRAP , BEING THE ONLY FLAW TO REPORT. THERE`S NO WRINKLES , AND NO CUT OUT MARKS. FOR THE TRACK LISTINGS SEE THE PICTURE I HAVE PROVIDED. ON THE BACK COVER IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER IS A TINY # 18 , AND IN THE LOWER LEFT CORNER IS A TINY ROUND BALL WITH PRINTED IN THE USA INSIDE IT. THIS IS A VERY NICE KEEPER COPY AND YOU WON`T NEED TO UPGRADE. ALSO THERE IS A RESERVE ON THIS ITEM WHICH I NORMALLY DON`T DO. THIS WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A DISPLAY CASE IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME ! * * SORRY BUT IF A FOREIGN BIDDER WINS THIS AUCTION , THEN I INSIST ON EXPRESS AIRMAIL ONLY SO THIS SO IT CAN BE INSURED. * * HERE`S THE STORY ON THIS : I BOUGHT 2 COPIES FROM A RECORD DEALER AT A RECORD CONVENTION IN THE LATE 70`S. ONE WAS AN OPEN WHITE LABEL PROMO COPY THAT I STILL HAVE. I REALLY DIDN`T NEED 2 COPIES BUT I GOT A REALLY GOOD DISCOUNT FOR BUYING BOTH COPIES. I SAID TO MYSELF THAT I`LL JUST TUCK THIS BAD BOY AWAY AND MAYBE SOMEDAY I`LL NEED SOME MONEY. WELL I NEED SOME MONEY TO PAY OFF SOME BILLS RIGHT NOW. I REALLY HATE TO PART WITH THIS BUT SINCE I HAVE THE OTHER COPY I`M LETTING THIS ONE GO.

on lots of eBay lister`s record grading : I`ve been on eBay since October 1998 , and if there's one thing I've learned from having many winning bids as a buyer is that “OVER GRADING” runs rampant. There`s too many people listing records on eBay that are blind in one eye and can`t see very well out of there other eye when it comes to grading a record. A lot of times “NEAR MINT” has come to mean "looks great from 6 feet away". "LOOKS GREAT" probably means it`s only in VG+ condition , and most all other grades has come to mean “probably belongs at a flea market”. MY GRADING IS VERY STRICT. I have been selling records for over 25 years now and I know how to properly grade a : cover / record. I visually grade a record by gently cleaning off all the dust and dirt and then hold it close at several different angles under a 100 watt light. And I do the same for the cover. It`s a real simple thing to do and I sure wish all eBay record sellers would do the same !
