Hello, thanks for looking. I'm no expert on grading vinyl, i'll try my best to evaluate the condition of both the cover and the album. I'll use the grading scale below as a guide and i'll be very conservative with my evaluation.

You are bidding on a used copy of The Neptunes Present...Clones. This is a compilation album produced and released by American production duo The Neptunes (producer-singer Pharrell Williams and producer Chad Hugo).

CONDITION- Jacket: VG+  / Vinyl: VG+ (Some Sides EX)

The Jacket / Sleeve: I'm hoping the pictures can speak for the grade, i'd say its a VG+. Its in one whole piece with No seam Splitting, No writing anywhere, No cut-out (drill) holes, No cut-out corners, No saw-marks or indents, The corners are in good shape- storage wear on the corners light rounding and dulling, The front & back both have NO visible record ring or "Halo". 1 Hype Sticker on the front Big blue sticker on the bottom (can't miss it), No tape, No water damage. The spine is in good shape and the print is very well centered and still legible. There's a small crease on the front top near the letter "U" which you can probable see in the photo. Basically its in very good shape, small dings and nicks here and there, and little bit of age on the corners. Pictures tell most of the story. 

Inner Paper Sleeve:  They are the original album white paper record sleeves & they are well kept. 

*Star Trak Insert- Also, the original album insert which is good too. Small bend on the corner but no tears. Check the photos of the front and back of the insert. 

The vinyl: I’d have to guess it would be VG+. The record looks great, few tiny minor cosmetic surface scratches but looks very clean. There also a scuff or 2 but it doesn't affect the playback.This has been in my own personal collection since I bought it in 2004. Didn't play much at all. I burnt it to MP3 and stored it on one of my record shelve at my home recording studio. Label's are perfect.  All Label's are perfect. 

On the whole, this Album is a really well kept copy, but if you still have questions please message me.

• All records are shipped correctly in a 12 X 12 Record mailer, (with the record out of the jacket - to prevent damage to the jacket) and in a plastic dust cover, with extra cardboard and foam support. 
  

• I do free combine shipping! So if you're think about buying a second or third album, I combine ship for free UP to 4 albums (2 Double LPs) total.  After that I might need a second box (but if you wanna buy that many I'll pay for the second shipping cost)
  

• I have on occasion shipped over seas. I only do this on a case by case basis. So if you interested please message me before you bid and I will explain.    
  

Thanks for looking, please message me with any questions! 

Grading Scale:

Mint (M): Perfect, unused in sealed original packaging.

Near-Mint (NM): Close to perfect with no visible scratches or scuffs. Appears to be un-played or played less than 5 times.

Excellent (EX): May contain 1 or 2 very tiny & light  cosmetic surface scratches and/or scuffs. Label and jacket may show slight signs of ring-wear / lightly bent corners. No creases, writing, tears or rips.

Very Good Plus (VG+): May show some signs that it was played and handled by a previous owner who took reasonably good care of it. Imperfections are cosmetic and do not drastically impact the playback. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs and surface scratches. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are ok. The label and jacket may have some slight ring ring-wear, discoloration, minor tears and imperfections. As with most vinyl, there may be low-level surface noise and light crackles and pops may be present, especially during quiet or soft passages in the track.  

Very Good (VG): Many of the imperfections found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG record or sleeve.

Good (G) - It doesn't mean the record is "Trashed" but its definitely been played a lot. I'll mainly use this for jackets and inner sleeves (if the record is worth selling).

Fair (F) Poor (P): I do not sell Poor (P), Fair (F). If I use these it's because the album is super rare. 

Disclaimer : I’m really new at selling on E-bay so please excuse my inexperience and lack of knowledge when it comes to collecting and selling vinyl. I do not grade LPs and I am not an expert on classification. Some of the vinyl I own, I bought in bulk at yard sales or estate sales. Ask Me Questions before bidding! Please understand, I’m grading my LPs on a visual estimation. Keep that in mind, because if you bid or buy this album, i’m selling it as is. If you’re really interested in this record and you think the description & photo’s are missing something… Message Me! Ask questions, I will answer honestly, I will send more photo’s, maybe even a video if you want. I'm not trying to scare away a potential customer, I'm just saying, please consider everything I said before asking for a refund. Look, there is some risk when buying used 30 - 60 year old, pre owned, vinyl… together we can cut down on that risk even eliminate it! Thanks for looking!!!
