Condition

Cover: VG+

The thin flip back cover shows a few light wrinkles, one small spot of paper loss on front, and a bit of wear on the seams,

all quite mild and minor (see scans)

Otherwise and overall an unusually nice and shiny cover for this kind of fragile paper sleeve

NO seam splits, NO ring wear, NO creases,

NO folds, NO pin holes, NO other visible imperfections

Vinyl: VG+

Thick, glossy vinyl

The shiny surface shows a few hairlines and superficial marks

Audition: VG+

Occasional light crackle, never compromising the clarity and prominence of the music. Two or three ticks.

Otherwise beautiful and highly satisfying playback, warm and vibrant sound.

NO pops, NO skips

Grading

All gradings are based on thorough visual inspection and a full audition.

The standard scale applies (M*, NM, VG+, VG).

As a rule Near Mint (NM) is my highest grade.

* I don't believe in Mint (M) and will only use it in the exceptional case

where I'm sure to be dealing with an item from unplayed and untouched stock.

I don't offer anything below VG.

Return Policy

If you are not satisfied for any reason you return the item within two weeks

and I offer full refund, no discussion.

Shipping cost is however for the buyer.
