Dead Kennedys - FRANKENCHRIST

Alternative Tentacles (ORIGINAL U S ISSUE) / Virus 45

Album is in immaculate shape, seemingly unplayed (album has been visually graded but not sound tested). The cover is showing some wear at the corners, but no seam splits or scuff-type "shelf ring" that I can observe...it retains its original gloss and the visible ring of the album is only a minor indentation in the cardboard. The original lyric liner sleeve, also in immaculate condition, is included. Sadly, the controversial H. R. Giger poster "Penis Landscape", originally shipped with the album (and later the center of an obscenity case against the label) is NOT with the package.

Vinyl M- to NM
Cover VG++ to M- 

I have recently acquired a modest collection of vinyl record albums, mostly Jazz. These will be listed and sold on eBay throughout the coming weeks.
Please note that I am neither a collector or a dealer. Albums are visually graded according to the "Pinkerton Scale" as shown below, and I try to err on the conservative side whenever possible. In other words, I am likely to be less forgiving in grading than the scale would suggest; the vinyl and/or cover will likely be BETTER than my grade.

Due to the costs and hassle associated with returning inexpensive items (anything less than $100), we DO NOT OFFER RETURNS except on very rare occasions on specific items. If a return is possible on an item, it will be spelled out in the listing details. Unless it is specifically spelled out in the detail of the item itself, all sales are on an AS IS basis and are final; there is NO return available.

Pinkerton scale:

Cover:

S = Factory Sealed. (make sure you are buying/selling an actual factory seal and not a retailer reseal)
M = Mint. Appears to be factory fresh. opened, but perfect in all details
NM =Near Mint. one slight problem (i.e.dogged corner of cover, slight fingernail scratch, dents and dings in edge of cover opening )
M- = any combination of two of the above problems or one defacing problem (as listed below)
VG++ = any combination of three of the above problems or two of the above problems and one defacing problem
VG+ = any combination of four of the above problems or two defacing problems
VG = very good .three or four defacing problems or multiple minor problems or relatively minor water stains and/or ring wear .
VG- = more serious water stains and/or ring wear or multiple defacing problems or slight cover tear.
G+ = no more than one-fourth cover affected by water stain. No more than 1" tear. ring wear does not emaciate cover art
G = good. from one-third to the entire cover damaged by water stain (but still intact) corners torn (other than DJ) complete ring wear
F = fair. Main body of cover still recognizable but heavily damaged by tears, liquid stains etc.
P = poor. definitely not for the collector (as truly, nothing below VG++should be) cover will still fully protect album. A cover that is torn in two is by no means to be considered Poor quality! It's to be considered trash.

Vinyl:

S = Factory Sealed. (make sure you are buying/selling an actual factory seal and not a retailer reseal)
M = Mint. Appears to be factory fresh . opened, but perfect in all details
NM =Near Mint. one slight problem (i.e. paper scuff , spindle mark at center hole, fingernail scratch on label , non- removable fingerprint or previous sticker glue)
M- = any combination of two of the above problems or one defacing problem (as listed below) or surface scratch [show as link]
VG++ = any combination of three of the above problems or two of the above problems and one defacing problem
VG+ = any combination of four of the above problems or two defacing problems
VG = very good. three or four defacing problems or multiple minor problems or relatively minor surface scratches .
VG- = more serious surface scratches or multiple defacing problems or slight groove depth scratch .
G+ = no more than one-fourth L.P. affected by surface scratches . No more than 1" groove depth scratch .
G = good. from one-third to the entire L.P. damaged by surface scratches. Several G D scratches (L.P. in this condition tends to skip)
F = fair. L.P. is still playable but heavily damaged by G D scratches or small break
P = poor.definitely not for the collector (as truly, nothing below VG++should be) some songs are at least partly playable. An LP that is broken in two is by no means to be considered Poor quality! It's to be considered trash.

Defacing problems and abbreviations:
woc = writing on cover. wol = writing on label. toc or tol = tape on cover or label. ss = seam split
