Description
“Rain Dogs” by Tom Waits
Island Records, mastered at Masterdisk
Original 1985 Specialty pressing!
- The sleeve is in strong VG+ condition, with *very* slight general wear, including *very* small creases and barely noticeable, light ring wear. Records have been re-housed in generic, white sleeves, but the OG lyric sleeves will be included.
- The vinyl visually looks strong VG+, with some very light marks that are barely visible unless held under strong light. The record *plays* G+/VG, with some general background fuzz and a couple pops here and there, depending on your set-up. Overall, a well taken care of, solid playing copy.

------
All records from my personal collection, shelved properly and with care.
All pictures from the *actual* record you will receive.
All opened records have been both visually and play-graded, unless otherwise noted.
Grading:
(M)int: If a record is unopened, the vinyl is presumed Mint. I will *never* grade a sleeve mint.
(N)ear (M)int: Unplayed—or barely played with zero issues—records I will usually grade NM. Generally, any older record (pre-2000s) that I bought used will not make the NM cut, though I may comment that a record plays “VG+/NM”, indicating it plays essentially perfectly. Sleeve wise, the NM threshold is *a bit* lower, so a *slight* corner bump, or very light shelf wear may get a NM grading, assuming there’s no other wear.
(V)ery (G)ood / (V)ery (G)ood (+): Generally, a used record that has been played but well cared for, that has zero skips or significant pops, but perhaps occasional background noise, will fall somewhere in the VG / VG+ range. For example, a record that visually looks good, with no significant blemishes, that plays well all the way through might be graded VG+. But one that is similar, but perhaps has a bit of heavier background noise, or there’s one or two blips that are noticeable (but otherwise plays very well), might get VG. The majority of the older (again, pre-2000s) records I own fall within this range.
Because there’s some leeway here, I usually play-grade with two gradings, like “VG/VG+”, which indicates the record or sleeve is more towards “VG” than “VG+.” If it is graded “strong VG+,” that indicates it is essentially a paradigm case for that grading. If it’s “VG+/NM,” that indicates it’s more towards “NM” than “VG+,” and so on.
(G)ood (+): As above, but with a bit more wear one way or another, but still no skips, heavy blips, etc. Still plays like a record should.
I generally don’t sell (or buy) records below G+/VG.
***All older records—usually, pre-2000s, unless otherwise noted— or ones that have been played multiple times, have been hand-cleaned by me and rehoused in plain white sleeves. If the original sleeve was anything other than generic (such as a lyric sleeve, advertisement, etc.), it will be kept and included, unless otherwise noted.***
All records will be shipped outside of the sleeve, but within an outer plastic sleeve, securely in record mailers.
