Original Concept Straight From The Basement of Kooley High LP Vinyl • Near Mint

$

26

Vinyl and cover are Near Mint; inner sleeve looks great but has a couple small slits from record edge (see pics). Promo stamp on UPC. Very rare original pressing from Def Jam. If interested in expedited shipping, please message before purchase. 

Below is my grading criteria; most everything I list is VG+ or higher. Please message me if you have further questions about a listing here. 

Very Good (VG) A VG-rated vinyl has experienced reasonable use. A VG-rated record often carries light pops and clicks. It might have light visible scratches, and the cover may have split edges. You can enjoy listening to a VG-rated record without issue, and you can use the cover as an artistic display, too. For the most part, a VG-rated record is undamaged. Upon close inspection, however, its use will be apparent.

Very Good Plus (VG+) A VG+ record has little faults. It doesn’t have any compromised audio or visuals. A VG+ record may have several inaudible marks and a little rub or wear on cover. Its audio may have slight background crackle. A lot of these records have been in and out of their sleeve only a few times. Their minute signs of use, generally, reflect high-quality care.

Near Mint (NM) A Near Mint record looks glossy and it’s clearly only been played a few times. NM vinyl has little to no markings, and its package is either untouched or nearly untouched. Don’t expect to find any distortions on a NM record. In essence: A NM record is imperfect only in its one-or-two-time use.

Mint (M) A Mint record is perfect. It’s never been played, and it might’ve never been removed from its package. It has no blemishes or audio distortions. Mint vinyl is rare and valuable.
