Description
Vinyl
side 1: XEX 421-1N mother: 10 stamper: RAP (visually EX with light wispy lines, plays mint)side 2: XEX 422-1N mother: 14 stamper: RM (visually EX- with a few more light marks, plays mint)
G&L Cover: seams and spine are solid, the front has some rubs in the laminate, a couple thumbnails and a few short small crimps near the spine and bottom seam, opening has slight feathering, corners have minor ink rubs, back is slightly toned but clean, bottom flipback has a few small nicks. Overall, a solid respectable VG+.
Labels have light spindle trails on both sides. I see a raised “T” of the tax code, but no other letter is visible. The labels are the 4th variation.
Inner: intact original with three splits, it will come with an archival UK inner.
-----------------------------------------------
I ship using standard LP mailers with the record secured outside of the cover to avoid seam splits.
Domestic shipping includes tracking (with insurance at your option). Records are shipped approximately 3-5 days after your payment clears.
International shipping is $29 by Registered Mail for LPs selling for $75 or less. If the final price is over $75, then shipping will be by Priority for $45 which is the only service that allows full tracking and insurance from the U.S. No exceptions.
I began buying records in the mid 60’s and I've always been fanatical about record care and storage.
The records I sell are from my personal collection, including backup copies. I've never been one to buy VG records or anything with an audible scratch, which eliminates the vast majority.
Over the decades, I've seen grading fads come and go, such as: “visual” grading by people who don't own a turntable; the current use of nonsense grades like NM+ and NM- as well as the dubious belief that there’s no such thing as a mint record.
I use standard US grading plus the UK grade of EX in order to eliminate the dreaded VG+++.
Records are first inspected under a halogen light (the only light that shows every flaw) and any blemishes are examined with a 10x power magnifier which allows the grooves to be fully inspected; then they’re play graded on a Linn Sondek LP12.
As a record buyer, I've had a lot of over graded “garage sale” LPs arrive covered with gritty dust and greasy fingerprints while the seller claims a “visual” grade based on fantasy. Be assured that my records will arrive clean and fingerprint free.
If I do miss an audible flaw, then kindly contact me and it will be rectified.
