The Monks : Black Monk Time German Polydor International STEREO SLPS 249 900, 1966 1st pressing in top mint  shape on the vinyl!

VINYL is strong M-, with no wear!  In a certain angle under a strong spotlight i could detect one angelhairline - but you really have to look hard to find it. Its more or less like shop new. I have playtested the whole album on a REGA P8 w/Apheta 3 pickup and a REGA Aura phonostage with a Hegel H360 and Klipsch Cornwall IV speakers on high volume and it plays overall fantastic. COVER is VG+, a really nice copy of this superfragile cover, there is cornerwear as you can see in the pictures but front is great, there is some light ringwear on front, back is superb and spine is superb as well with fully readible text! - see picture - no tears, spits or writing whatsoever. Vinyl would be nearly impossible to be upgraded, its that nice! - A true gem!!

GRADINGS

MINT(-) is as close to new as a used LP or cover can get, unplayed or played 1-2 times at most with no visual signs of use on surfaces.

MINT- is superb, almost like new. No marks, scratches, clicks, noise, or anything else, aside from possibly a barely visible and inaudible hairline or two. 

EX or EXCELLENT is also VERY nice, 2-3 light inaudible marks/hairlines perhaps, no disturbing noise, great sound quality.

VG+ is nice with light hairlines, a few marks maybe. Please see individual notes in case of VG+ or lower gradings.

VG... Well used but still very enjoyable. See individual notes on the item in question.

My grading is strict and itemdescriptions is short and concise. I use MINT (only used for new or sealed records) M-, EX and VG grades, +/- illustrates the lower or upper area of the actual grade.

I dont believe any vinyl records are new, so i you expect a factory new record with cd sound, dont bid, look for the cd instead. That means that a M- record is not NEW it is most likely used but taken so good care of that i qualifies as M-. I use the RC standards in my grading.
