Description
The heavy thick 1st press deep groove record is EX/NM- with just some sleeve marks/scuffs and minor hairlines. A note on the label - 1st pressings of Specialty records were thick deep groove presses with the words "Stereo Natural Sound" although they were mono. Later pressings dropped the word stereo likely so they would avoid any confusion. This one has the original label as well as the 1st issue cover with the 8508 Sunset Boulevard address on the back. The cover is very sharp with a nice bright front cover, a couple of tiny torn spots around the mouth of the top picture, some corner and edge wear, some light ring soil on the back and a little paper cracked (but not missing) on the spine
All records are original US (no reissues) unless noted otherwise.
I try to grade conservatively. That said, if you believe I have missed something please contact me and I'll try and make it right. My Grading (Visual, unless otherwise noted) VINYL: Mint (M, rarely used grade, if ever): Verifiably unplayed and unblemished. Only manufacturing marks accepted. Full gloss and shine and labels have no spindle trails or wear. Near Mint (NM) Looks flawless. Maybe played a few times but no marks due to mishandling. Looks brand new and retains full gloss and shine. Labels have little to no spindle trails or wear. Near Mint Minus (NM-) Looks close to flawless. May have some light hairlines and/or marks from being taken in and out of the sleeve, retains full gloss and shine. Labels have only a trace of any spindle trails or wear. Excellent (EX)A few light scuffs and/or hairlines, too many to be NM- but no scratches that cause surface noise and labels may have a few spindle trails. Will play NM. Will still have full gloss. Very Good Plus (VG+): A few light scuffs and/or scratches that are superficial and only cause minimal surface noise (nothing distracting-- no clicks or pops). Labels may have light wear and a few spindle trails at hole and some minimal writing. A played but well (if not perfectly) cared for record. Vinyl still has most of its gloss and shine. Very Good (VG) This means very good not half trashed!!! Record will have several light superficial scuffs and/or scratches and a few needle scratches some of which may be felt and heard, but record will play thru w/o skipping or sticking. Record may also have some minor groove wear, which will add to surface noise. Spindle holes can have several trails and moderate wear and writing on labels. Vinyl must retain some of its gloss and shine. I normally do not sell items below VG, but when I do, I will give a thorough description of the record's problems. Cover I do not usually grade covers, I prefer to list each defect and have a decent picture of the front cover. If you want to see a picture of the back or other detail let me know and I will either add it to the listing or send it to you. You'll need to include an email if you want it sent to you.
NOTE: If buying more than one item wait and I'll send an invoice with combined postage discount. Also - I will not ship to Italy and France due to problems I've experienced in the past.
