VISUAL GRADING

All sides have very tiny/faint lines scuffed, probably from the sleeves. Most of them arent even visible unless under a bright light.

However, there is one spot on Side D; its a smudge/scratch over the first song on Side D, BUT the rest of Side D is VG+.

(I did a play test for track 1 on Side D using my Audio Technica LP60 (nothing fancy), and it played through just fine. The spot honestly looks much worse than it sounds.

The record still has a great shine to it!

The Bottom Line:

This is a SOLID PLAY COPY if you dont mind some light fuzz/crackling between songs, or that the outer jacket has sustained a fair amount of shelfwear over the past 20+ years since its release.

Note: If you are a collector looking for a Near Mint copy to add to your archives, or even just looking to digitally rip the analog audio files to your PC; this copy most likely isnt for you.

OUTER JACKET: VERY GOOD

The gatefold jacket has normal shelfwear along the edges, as well as bumped corners. But thats to be expected usually. There is a bend/crease at top left corner. Ringwear is very faint, especially considering this pressing is over 20+ years old, lol.

However — there is NO writing, NO tears/rips, NO holes, and NO cuts anywhere.

** PLEASE be sure to refer to all photos in the listing to further analyze the record’s condition. **

INNER SLEEVES: VERY GOOD ++ / VG

Both glossy-printed inner sleeves have seam splits along each side, however they are clean splits; which means they havent spread out. NO RIPS or TEARS, NO WRITING & ZERO DISCOLORATION.

Aside from the splits, they are a solid VG++.

LENGTH OF SEAM SPLITS:

The Bill Hicks sleeve splits: 1”-1.5” at most.

The Ænima Eye sleeve splits: 2.5”-4” at most.

SHIPPING

Shipping via USPS Priority Mail will be ABSOLUTELY FREE for this item.

If you need it shipped any other way, please contact me PRIOR to bidding to make sure I can accomodate your request first. Thank you!

PACKAGING

I always do my best when packaging any record I sell. I use bubble wrap and cardboard insert(s) for sufficient protection, all inside an appropriately-sized record mailer. I will NEVER try to cram your order into a single LP mailer if its a 2xLP record; it will only lead to potential warping, outer jacket damage, or worse.

I take these precautions to insure your vinyl will have a safe shipping and will arrive damage-free !
