Description
PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER). OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.
CRAZY RARE UK? gatefold pressing from 1976? on WWA with laminated cover and scratched out NEL-6003 A1/NEL-6003 B1 in the dead wax, respectively, on sides one and two, TB initials etched on side two only and Phonogram credit in the bottom left hand corner on the rear cover!!! Release year and country of origin are unclear as there isn't a single entry for this pressing anywhere in the massive, sprawling Discogs database whatsoever. I have had somewhere around 20 copies of this LP on the WWA/NEMS label pass through my hands in my 45 years of collecting and selling and I have never seen this variant before. THAT'S how you know it's rare. LP is VG++ with a few barely visible paper scuffs. Cover is still in the original shrink wrap and beautiful with barely a hint of wear on the tip of the top left hand corner where there is a small opening in the cellophane. Shrink wrap has a barely visible (price?) sticker residue in the top right hand corner on the front only.
I USE GOLDMINE GRADING~ MINT (SEALED) NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++: VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE VG+: AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG: STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS
GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR: FILLER COPY ONLY. LOTS OF SCRATCHES
