Here is the first Seeds LP in sweet condition. It is the more valuable Mono issue and is an absolute first press without the 'Includes hit singles Pushin' Too Hard and Can't Seem To Make You mine' blurb on the top right. These don't come around very often. 90% or more have the distracting black blurb on the cover. And this one doesn't have any issues to keep it off a collector's shelf.

The Seeds (self-titled) - GMP Crescendo Records GNP 2023 - MONO - 1966 - 1st issue

The disk is a solid EX, having no marks worthy of addressing. It has full gloss and clean labels with no spindle marks. Plays beautifully. Collector quality. 

The cover is hovering near EX for one this old showing very little shelf wear. Only the slightest beginnings of ringwear in the black on the back, not even worthy of being called ringwear yet. And a teenie bit of paper loss at the corners. Seams are solid, no writing. I think the buyer will be pleased with this one. The rare blurbless cover makes this package the one to fill that collection slot. It's a keeper.

My Vinyl Grading

Mint & SS (still sealed) - Factory fresh condition. 

NM - A near perfect record. opened and played but handled and stored carefully. Disk has NO marks and cover has no visible damage or shelf wear.

EX - A record in excellent condition. Disk has been played, yet signs of wear are tough to find. Few if any superficial marks can only be seen under good light and do NOT affect play. Disk has full gloss, clean labels and plays without surface noise (depending on vinyl pressing quality of the record company.) Dust ticks between track is only natural. Covers have crisp seams, no writing and minimal shelf wear.

VG+ = A negotiable well kept record. Disk may have superficial marks from normal use, especially when age comes into play. If any marks are 'feelable' they should not be heard in play. Any surface noise will be reported in my listings. Only light ticks between tracks is to be expected. Covers may have wear due to age and storage, but no seam splits, damage or tears. Any writing would be reported in the listing. 

VG  = This is the condition of most old records. A used record that still plays through very well without skipping. Surface noise does not overcome the song to the point of being annoying. Labels may have writing, but all info is clear. Covers may have minor splits, ringwear, writing or stains but are still presentable.

G or VG- = Only use this grade if the record is very scarce and valuable. The cover still holds the record. The disk still plays without skipping. That's it.

Shipping - I usually ship items the morning after they are paid for. If payments come in after noon, they will be shipped the following business day morning. I will do international shipping, quoting the rate given to me by USPS plus 1.00 for customs headaches. If you live in Italy, Greece, Russia or Mexico, you might want to choose registered mail. 

Packaging - All vinyl records will be shipped in an LP mailer with ample reenforcing to assure it arrives the way it leaves my house. If the box arrives damaged, it would be the fault of mail services. So when in doubt, insure your high-end items.

All records come in a poly sleeve and the record is shipped out of the cover and original inner sleeve to prevent damage in shipment.
