Grading
Grading is conservative. I spent considerable time listing out all noticed flaws and specifics, as well as ensure that they are accurately portrayed in the photos.
Sleeve: (Thick paper picture sleeve) VG++
Sleeve in overall great condition, especially the front. Still very glossy, vibrant and sturdy. General age wear and small amount of staining, oxidation, some ring wear on back, and browning of paper. Most of the age wear is visible on the back and near the top. Shown in photos. Inner sleeve is in great shape, tiny bit of staining on the one side, but overall very crisp and clean.
Vinyl: VG+
Both sides of the vinyl have some surface marks/scratches, hard to catch in photos, they’re faint. Very minimal depth to grooves. Cleans to a very high gloss. Labels are in excellent shape, very clean, clear, with minimal wear. Vinyl has been well cleaned.
Playback is a solid VG++. Minor surface noise on both sides, mostly very subtle static and just between tracks. A few tiny pops and cracks on side 2. Neither side skips. Clean play through. Recording sounds clear. More quiet pressing in terms of volume.
Shipping
Please send me a message if you have any shipping inquiries or specifications. I almost always ship within a day, and if not, I will send a message.
I ship in standard 7” record mailers. Vinyl will be shipped in plain white generic sleeve (outside of picture sleeve). Both vinyl and picture sleeve will be in a plastic sleeve, with 2 7” cardboard inserts and wrapped in newspaper. Front and back of record mailer will have “Fragile” labels.
*Due to delays with Canada post delivery, I would advise messaging me prior to purchasing so I can look into best shipping option based on your location.
