DEF LEPPARD

HYSTERIA LP

1987 | Mercury | 830 675-1 Q-1

Hello, thanks for looking. I'm no expert on grading vinyl, i'll try my best to evaluate the condition of both the cover and the album. I'll use the grading scale below as a guide and i'll be very conservative with my evaluation.

You are bidding on a used copy of Hysteria.  This is the fourth studio album by English hard rock band Def Leppard. Released on 3 August 1987 through Mercury Records It is Def Leppard's best-selling album to date, selling over 25 million copies worldwide, including 12 million in the US, and spawning seven hit singles. Both the vinyl and jacket show signs of wear and age but the album as whole is in good condition. See Below for more details on condition and grades.

CONDITION- Jacket: VG  / Vinyl: VG

The Jacket / Sleeve: I'm hoping the pictures can speak for the grade: VG  Its still in one piece with No seam splitting,  No writing anywhere, There are a few bends & creases along the corners, No cut-out (drill) holes, No cut-out corners, No saw-marks or indents, The corners are dull and show signs of age, Hype Sticker on the front & there looks like a small price sticker damage on the upper corner (see photo), No tape, The spine is in ok shape and some of the  the print is still legible (see photo). There s Gold Promo Only Stamp on the back. Pictures tell the story but if you have questions please ask.

Inner Paper Sleeve:  Its the original album picture info sleeve. In pretty good condition, see photo. 

The vinyl:  VG. The record looks good, there are a bunch of tiny minor cosmetic surface scratches. Typical age and wear. I might be a little to conservative with the grade It might be VG+. Label's are perfect. 

This album is nice solid VG copy, but if you still have questions please message me.

• All records are shipped correctly in a 12 X 12 Record mailer, (with the record out of the jacket - to prevent damage to the jacket) and in a plastic dust cover, with extra cardboard and foam support. 
  

• I do free combine shipping! So if you're think about buying a second or third album, I combine ship for free UP to 4 albums (2 Double LPs) total.  After that I might need a second box (but if you wanna buy that many I'll pay for the second shipping cost)
  

• I have on occasion shipped over seas. I only do this on a case by case basis. So if you interested please message me before you bid and I will explain.    
  

Thanks for looking, please message me with any questions! 

Grading Scale:

Mint (M): Perfect, unused in sealed original packaging.

Near-Mint (NM): Close to perfect with no visible scratches or scuffs. Appears to be un-played or played less than 5 times.

Excellent (EX): May contain 1 or 2 very tiny & light  cosmetic surface scratches and/or scuffs. Label and jacket may show slight signs of ring-wear / lightly bent corners. No creases, writing, tears or rips.

Very Good Plus (VG+): May show some signs that it was played and handled by a previous owner who took reasonably good care of it. Imperfections are cosmetic and do not drastically impact the playback. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs and surface scratches. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are ok. The label and jacket may have some slight ring ring-wear, discoloration, minor tears and imperfections. As with most vinyl, there may be low-level surface noise and light crackles and pops may be present, especially during quiet or soft passages in the track.  

Very Good (VG): Many of the imperfections found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG record or sleeve.

Good (G) - It doesn't mean the record is "Trashed" but its definitely been played a lot. I'll mainly use this for jackets and inner sleeves (if the record is worth selling).

Fair (F) Poor (P): I do not sell Poor (P), Fair (F). If I use these it's because the album is super rare. 

Disclaimer : I’m really new at selling on E-bay so please excuse my inexperience and lack of knowledge when it comes to collecting and selling vinyl. I do not grade LPs and I am not an expert on classification. Some of the vinyl I own, I bought in bulk at yard sales or estate sales. Ask Me Questions before bidding! Please understand, with some of the older vinyl I’m grading my LPs on a visual estimation. Keep that in mind, because if you bid or buy this album, i’m selling it as is. If you’re really interested in this record and you think the description & photo’s are missing something… Message Me! Ask questions, I will answer honestly, I will send more photo’s, maybe even a video if you want. I'm not trying to scare away a potential customer, I'm just saying, please consider everything I said before asking for a refund. Look, there is some risk when buying used 30 - 60 year old, pre owned, vinyl… together we can cut down on that risk even eliminate it! Thanks for looking!!!
