    For your consideration is this MARILYN MONROE PICTURE DISC LP featuring the iconic nude photo from her 1953 Playboy session.  The LP  was made in Denmark in 1984 and is in VERY GOOD-/GOOD (*see rating system below) condition, but keep in mind that picture discs in general never have superior sound quality and surface noise is almost always present. Most of these items were made for displaying. The LP does show some light wear & a few scratches , but plays through with some surface noise and a couple of ticks here and there. It comes in a clear plastic sleeve and will be carefully packed for shipping. Shipping includes free Delivery Confirmation. Please email any questions prior to bidding. Thanks and Good Luck! *Return policies and additional checkout info is posted for your convenience.

*This grading system is courtesy of the Goldmine Vinyl Grading System;

STILL SEALED/MINT (M): Perfect! This record looks like it has just left the manufacturer, with NO flaws what so ever. It looks as though it had never been handled. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains. No stickers address labels, writing on the covers or labels. No tears or seam splits. No wear to the cover or record period! Age of the record has nothing to do with it. Most records will not get this grade being even Sealed albums can have "feather" marks from the inner sleeve.

NEAR MINT or NM, M- : this record appears virtually flawless, well taken care of, and have a beautiful sheen. A very minor scuff and very little else can appear on the vinyl. It should play without any noise over the flaw. The flaw will be very hard to see in bright lighting. The cover looks as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork is be as close to perfect as can be.Most sealed LP's will get this grade being they are unseen.

EXCELLENT or EX or VG++ : minor scuffs which are only slightly visible. There may be more than a few scuffs and NO scratches. COVER: Artwork is still as close to perfect as can be. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear or seam splitting.  Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled or creased/dog eared. The corners can show white (where the artwork pasted slick was) meaning, slight wear. No seam splits, writing on the cover, or repairs with tape can make this grade.

VERY GOOD PLUS or VG+ record shows light wear and some surface scuffs. The vinyl still has a great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. If the flaws don't cause any surface noise, the vinyl can still make the VG+ grade. COVER: A virtually clean cover, but may have small writing on it.The artwork looks clean with slightly more aging. The back of the cover usually gives away the age of the cover. Flat white paper may have some yellowing but no stains or mildew or water damage. Some minor wear to the seams or spine, but no tears or holes popping through. The corners may be slightly dog eared yet no crackly bends, defacing the artwork. In essence, a VG+ cover should have no more than 3 flaws mentioned.

VERY GOOD or VG: this record is a record that is good enough to collect but will show signs of wear, scratches, but it will STILL play very good. There will be  some surface noise or light ticks when they are played. The Dynamics should still be excellent, overpowering the surface noise. A VG record will appear well have been played but still have some luster. VG covers will look worn, used. There may be some seam splitting . There will be some ring wear, where the ink has begun to wear off. Giving the cover a look of snow falling or light specks. If the artwork looks snowy all over, it is less than VG condition. There may be some writing on the cover, such as names or dates in Ink, no marker pens. It will look aged and more yellowish due to age and improper storing. Still it should be decent.

GOOD or G A good record will look very well played, dull, grayish and possibly abused. However a Good record should still play. It will have distracting surface noise. Such as crackle that is continuous or some hiss. Will also have some loss of dynamics caused from grooves being worn. It should play without any skips or any obtrusively loud pops or repeated clicks, caused by deep scratches. Good means that it will play with some form of decency, so one can still enjoy the music even though you can still hear noise caused from the wear. A Good cover will have just about everything wrong with it. It will have seam splits (possibly taped repaired, but only with scotch tape. No duct tape or masking tape repairs. These are big turn offs. May have magic marker writing on the cover but still if they are in huge letters, it is a big turn off.In essence, the cover will looked virtually trashed, but some artwork will still be noticed. If the artwork is worn, it is POOR and the cover is worthless.

On a scale from 1 (Poor) to 10 (Perfect) the above gradings are equivalent to:
MINT - 10, Near Mint - 8, Excellent - 7, Very Good Plus - 6 , Very Good - 5 , Good - 2
