TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS / DAMN THE TORPEDOES Complete Vinyl Record LP Album Set / 1979 / Catalog Number MCA-5105
GRADING: [please refer to my grading system below] LP record = B+ Outer sleeve = B
This is a great copy of the late Tom Petty's DAMN THE TORPEDOES lp record album from my personal collection. Clean and glossy surface plays beautifully. Clean label. The outer cover shows very minor edge/corner wear, and some minor ring wear at the top front. No seam splits. Not perfect but still highly frameable.
The original inner sleeve is bright and clean with absolutely minimal wear. No splits. This LP album set has been encased in a quality Poly cover for years, and will be shipped with one. The actual record will be separated from the outer and inner sleeves to protect from tearing.
I grade both the LP records themselves, and just as importantly, the outer sleeves using my own system. Sometimes LP albums have great playing records but the outer covers are poor. Sometimes LP albums have poor records inside but the outer covers are great, and notable for their frameability.
VINYL LP GRADES:
A = Mint in original shrink-wrap, or near mint although it has been played. Both cases are rare.
B = Clean, glossy surface. Absolutely minimal "pops", static, and scuffs. Label is clean and unmarked.
C = Surface shows some scuffing and may need cleaning but still plays decently. Label may have marks.
D = Surface is scratched and more heavily scuffed. Plays through but not without more noticeable "pops".
F = Vinyl is warped (but still may play through) and is noticeably dusty/dirty/scratched.
RECORD COVER GRADES:
A = Mint in original shrink-wrap, or has been in a clear Mylar cover since new. Near mint. No ring wear.
B = Clean, glossy cover with very minimal ring wear, corner bumps, edgewear and/or seam wear.
C = Clean cover without marks, names, labels, etc. No corner-cuts, hole-punches, or remainder marks. Some noticeable ring wear.
D = Cover is dirty, marked and/or torn. Heavy corner/edge wear. Heavy ring wear. Has some inkings, labels or remainder marks.
F = Damaged, faded, and/or heavily marked cover. Ripped and/or detached seams. Heavy ring wear and/or remainder marks.
The way music was meant to be heard! Being a part of the vinyl breed who understands that no matter where CD technology has gone or will go, it will never replace the way vinyl breathes life into every track. It is the purest form of listening pleasure, not to mention the artistic value of owning a 12 inch cover of art -- like posters of your favorite artists.
Thanks for viewing this listing. Happy listening!
