Description

PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER).  OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.


MEGA RARE Gilbert Kong mastered Hauppauge pressing from 1981 on Mercury's skyscraper label with the number 53 at the start of the lower label rim text and NO barcode!!!  LP is a very nice VG with a few light paper scuffs.  Cover is VG/VG- with a light stain at the opening on the rear and a small two and a half inch piece of this transparent tape at the opening on the bottom.  Now that the boys (and girl!) will be touring again soon it's time to revisit their first and best LP (in this collector's never humble opinion).  


I USE GOLDMINE GRADING~ MINT (SEALED)  NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++:  VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF US VG+:  AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG:  STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR:  FILLER COPY ONLY.  LOTS OF SCRATCHES
