Matrix Side 1) BR-2133 31554-DJ 1A STERLING RL Side 2) BR-2133 31555-DJ 1B
Vinyl Playback: M- Stunning audio and playback. No issues to report. Rates a solid: 9+/10
Note: On track A5a, all instances of the word "sh*t" have been censored from the recording. The song 'Does Anybody Love You?' was not included with this release, although the lyrics are printed on the inner sleeve.
Cover: M- The die-cut cover is still in its shrink wrap. The gatefold has never been opened. A piece of the shrink is missing at the upper front left corner and there are a couple of small surface ripples to the upper right back cover. These are both inconsequential as there is virtually zero damage to the cover. Has the appropriate round pink 'promo' hype sticker, and includes the extremely rare Todd Rundgren bio sheet which is still embedded under the shrink wrap.
Vinyl Visual: NM A couple of light surface paper scuffs.  No other issues. Appears 'unplayed'.
Labels: M- 'International Feel' on A1a is misspelled 'International Fell' on the label.
Extras: M- Includes original postcard and Patti Smith poem sheet.
Original die-cut Inner: M- No seam splits or tears.


INV: 897

Grading endeavors to be conservative. (Please see below for grading scale)
All open vinyl is shipped in a new poly-inner, and the album cover in a poly-sleeve.
Vinyl is cleaned on a VPI 16.5 machine and test played 'start-to-finish' prior to listing, unless otherwise noted.
'Vinyl Playback' will always address egregious audible concerns.   If you encounter any issues with your purchase, please contact me prior to leaving negative or neutral feedback.
My goal is your 100% complete satisfaction.

Vinyl Play Grades
M: Still sealed
M-: An opened item that appears 'M'. Virtually perfect playback.
NM: A few minor visual imperfections with virtually no audible impact. Top quality play.
EX: A few more surface marks than NM with very few audible imperfections. Quality play.
VG+: Surface scuffs and lines. Some light surface noise or a few tics or pops. Enjoyable play.
VG: Defined scuffs, lines, and scratches. More surface noise, tics, and pops than VG+. Acceptible play.
G: Heavy wear, deep scratches, with egregious surface noise, clicks, and pops. Poor play.
Hybrid Example:    Vinyl which is VG in appearance but plays NM. = Visual Grade: VG  Playback Grade: NM
The reverse may also occur.  = Visual Grade: NM  Playgrade: VG
Album covers are graded on a case by case basis given the myriad of issues which may impact each.
All grading is completely subjective and provided to the best of my ability.
