Comments on our grading methods and sales practices

We do our best to accurately describe the condition of our records and record sleeves.
We attempt to grade each record as conservatively as possible without misrepresenting actual condition.
We make every effort to adhere to the grading system outlined below.

That said we are humans and may miss something. Also it is a given that one man's light scratch will be another mans deep gouge.
So.......
If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase we will refund your money.
Please see our Customer Satisfaction & Return policy below.

Record grading is visual only, we do not play or clean records before shipping. Each LP is examined under a bright light for imperfections.

• Comments:
  Record is as close to perfect as I've seen. No imperfections. Just a little dust. I believe this is a 1st press copy from 1962. Looked but could not find any evidence to disprove 1st press. Thick heavy vinyl. Deep Groove, high gloss, all the right label colors and markings. Matrix runout side 1 is H-1209 (etched), bell sound, 1109p 1926. Side 2 is H-1210 (etched), bell sound, 1109p 1927. This record is beautiful.
Sleeve is is near perfect as well. Only flaw I can find is very very slight yellowing on opening edge of rear cover. No ringware. Shrink wrap still intact. It won't get much better than this. Full refund if you can find any evidence this is not a first press.

**** Vinyl Grading Details ****

Note: Grading is visual only, records are not played

Sealed : Record is sealed in shrink wrap, vinyl is sold ungraded or "as is". Record is assumed to be un-played but not guaranteed.

NM : Record appears un-played. There will be no marks, sleeve scuffs, or scratches of any kind.

VG++ : Record may have one or two visible imperfections which should not affect playback. (i.e. sleeve scuffs or other superficial marks) Record will not have scratches.

VG+ : Record may have a few visible imperfections. These may include sleeve scuffs, superficial marks, and light scratches. Record will have no more than a few scratches.

VG : Record will show the same kinds of imperfections found on VG+ records but in larger amounts. There may be several light scratches and other marks. Record will not have any scratches that can be felt with a fingernail.

VG- : Record will have several visible imperfections; the presence of a large number of light scratches will require this grade, as will the presence of even one scratch deep enough to be felt with a fingernail.

G : Record will have many imperfections of varying severity including light and deep scratches that can be felt with a fingernail.

Fair/Poor : A record with this grade is all but trash. You may want one just to say you have it in your collection but it will not be pretty and may not even be playable.
