Description
VINYL
Side 1: Plays Mint, visually Mint- due to one miniscule inaudible spot. Most normal humans would call it visually Mint.
Side 2: Plays and looks Mint
LABELS
Side 1: Mint with no spindle marks
Side 2: same as side 1
COVER
Front: Mint- with no ring wear, solid seams and spine which have minor ink rubs, two corners slightly bumped.
Back: EX+ with slight ring wear at the top and a few more ink rubs typical of black covers.
INNER: comes with archival inner
DESCRIPTION: A very crisp punchy recording typical of CBS Half Speed Mastered LPs. Cover only shows light handling wear. Superior to buying a sealed copy which is hard to ship without seam splits and is somewhat of a gamble if you intend to play it.

I ship using standard LP mailers with the record secured outside of the cover to avoid seam splits.

_______________________________
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. If I do miss an audible flaw, then kindly contact me and it will be rectified.
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.
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.
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.
