ARTIST - THE UNITED STATES NAVY PORT AUTHORITY SOUL BAND TITLE - TOGETHER LABEL - PRIVATE PRESSING CATALOG NO - 72838 
Rare and great modern soul and funk LP. Lot's of great moments here - from the funky Scoobe to the slow burning killer modern soul ballad I'm For Real. Some of these songs are originals. The cover is in shrink wrap and is mint minus. The record looks and plays mint minus all the way through, except there is one split second moment of a hard tick on Side Two with no known source...there is no visible flaw there. May have been a pressing issue? So, I will reluctantly grade this as EXCELLENT! Thanks for looking.....
International bidders- I do not change values on customs labels, and I may not be able to track in all places. Please wait for invoice. For items over $50.00 I ship priority only. I can combine shipping! Many times it means I can ship up to 3 LP's U.S. for the same cost as one, and possibly more 45's. International bidders - Combined shipping will be only based on weight, so I will need to know how many items are bought before sending invoice. Thanks again!!
VJ'S VINYL GRADING SYSTEM:
Mint - never used, once a record is opened, the top you can get is mint minus. Mint Minus - A great record, one or two fine hairline scuffs, sounds flawless. A mint minus record can "play" mint. Covers are new looking, may have shrink. Excellent - Can have faint hairline scuffs that do no affect play. Can have very minor infrequent crackling. Minor bumps in the cover. VG+ - Scuffs can be more prevalent, with a little more surface noise. If it visually has more scuffs but plays great, I will note that. Still, a very fine and playable copy. Covers have minor age and shelf wear.  VG - Can have lots of hairline scuffs, and maybe one or two scratches. Surface noise more prevalent with some popping in spots. Covers have more extensive age and shelf wear. Minor splits. VG minus - More in the way of scratches and surface noise is NOT infrequent. Still, a viable copy. Covers may have splits.  G+ - only reserved for a very rare or popular record. Very noisy, maybe some skips, scratches are evident. Covers are trashed.  STILL SEALED - I will grade the vinyl as "still sealed." That means it's probably mint minus, but I do not know if there was any factory defects. 
Hairline scuffs are light yet visible. You cannot feel them with the skin of your finger. Scratches you can feel. If I am on the fence between grades, I will go with the lower one.  I will not use VG++ etc., but will say that a record is a "strong" VG+. "Age wear" on a cover is either fading or yellowing. "Shelf wear" is ring wear, corner bumps, or fraying.
