this record is in Excellent Condition and it has been 
Fully Play Tested and it Sounds Fantastic with just a hint of crackle in the
quieter passages, and just a few stray pops + the vinyl is all extremely Shiny & Clean
with just very light visible wear and the Lp plays fully through with
no skips or repeats and has a nice loud full warm tone

the sound clips above are recorded from this very album
so if you feel like giving it a listen, you'll hear how well this
copy plays and how great it sounds!

the cover is also in Very Good + Condition and has bold bright
printing and has no seam splits, writing or markings but it does have
a little bit of edge, corner and ring wear. overall this
cover is in really nice shape, especially for its age!

displays & plays nicely!

~ Our Record Condition Guide ~


since everyone has their own ideas about grading the condition
of records, we've decided to spell out how we do it. our descriptions are
also extremely thorough & individually note flaws that a generic condition grade
cannot. we also occasionally assign a + and - for in-between grades

Mint

perfect, never played & usually still factory sealed

Near Mint

nearly perfect with almost no signs of handling

Excellent

the slightest visual wear that in no way interferes with the sound

 Very Good +

light visible signs of handling & wear but well taken care of
and plays with only mellow occasional crackle and/or soft pops but 
nothing interfering with enjoying the record/artwork

Very Good

obviously used & handled, but not mishandled, with no skips,
repeats or bad noise, but with noticeable crackle, pops & soft tics or
artwork defects, but nothing too bad overall

 Very Good -

considerable visible wear & background noise with possible
skips, repeats, tics and cover flaws, but still enjoyable & would
be obviously well-used and somewhat mishandled

So-So

anything below VG- which we rarely sell, except
for really rare records that are worth listing only because
they're so hard to find & sought-after in any condition

Disclaimer

not everyone's turntable sounds & functions the same, but we
have a nice sensitive set-up that makes flaws very obvious to us and we try
to note everything we ear and see. while vinyl is an awesome sounding format,
there is almost always some sort of background noise while listening to a
record. we are just about as picky as anyone, so trust us
but be sure to read our descriptions carefully!
