ARTIST & TITLE: BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - THE RIVER B/W  POINT BLANK

VINYL PRESSING: NZ PRESSING.

VINYL CONDITION: VG+/VG HAS SOME LIGHT SCUFFS. MANY MIGHT CALL THIS A VG++ SOME MIGHT EVEN CALL IT AN EX- BUT I AM VERY HARD ON MY GRADINGS SO I WILL SIT ON THE FENCE BETWEEN VG+ AND VG. THIS IS BECAUSE, OVERALL IT LOOKS NICE AND SHINY, WITH SOME LIGHT PAPER SCUFFS, BUT THE A SIDE HAS A COUPLE OF BRIEF SCRATCHES AT THE START WHICH DO NOT JUMP OR SKIP, BUT YOU CAN HEAR A SLIGHT "TICK, TICK" FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS. SO SINCE I AM HARDER ON MY GRADINGS THAN MOST. AND SINCE THIS IS SO RARE I THINK FOR ITS RARITY ITS IN GREAT SHAPE

ADDITIONAL INFO:  THIS IS AN ORIGINAL NZ PRESSING- AND WE ALL KNOW HOW RARE THEY ARE, ONE IS ON POPSIKE FROM 2010 WHICH SOLD FOR $415! BUT WHAT MAKES THIS ONE EVEN RARER IS THIS IS AN ORIGINAL RADIO STATION COPY (WHICH LOOKS LIKE IT WAS NEVER ACTUALLY USED TO PLAY ON AIR)  - HENCE THE PLASTIC SLEEVE AND THE CARDBOARD INNER WITH THE INTRO, TIMINGS ETC. - THESE CARDS ARE MEANT TO BE USED BY DJS - AND STAMPED EVERYTIME ITS PLAYED ON AIR WITH THE DATE AND TIME - BUT AS YOU CAN SEE THIS COPY LOOKS LIKE IT WAS NEVER PLAYED.

WHEN THESE WERE GIVEN TO RADIO STATIONS THEY NEVER HAD THE ORIGINAL GENERIC CBS PAPER SLEEVES WITH THEM (JUST THE VINYL IN PLASTIC BAG WITH THE DATE SHEET,) HOWEVER I AM ALSO SUPPLYING AN ORIGINAL NZ CBS GENERIC SLEEVE TO THE WINNER (SO THEY HAVE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS - THEY CAN CHOOSE TO HOUSE IT AS A RADIO COPY OR A STORE BOUGHT COPY. 

MAYBE THIS WAS ACTUALLY A RADIO STATION ONLY 45? WHO KNOWS, - I DO KNOW ITS VERY RARE - I HAVE ONLY SEEN THIS ONE COPY IN MY 20 YEARS OF COLLECTING - AND SO IF IT IS A RADIO STATION ONLY COPY - THEN THE WINNER WILL ALSO BE GETTING THE ORIGINAL RADIO STATION PLASTIC SLEEVE AND CARDBOARD INNER!!! (POSSIBLY THIS 45 WAS ONLY EVER PRESSED FOR DJS? WHO KNOWS) BUT I WILL SUPPLY A CBS SLEEVE AS WELL FOR THE WINNER (IN CASE THEY WANT ONE)

BOTH LABELS ARE CLEAN AND THE VINYL IS NICE AND FLAT, AND OVERALL NICE EXCEPT FOR THE FEW SCUFFS I MENTIONED EARLIER.

FEEL FREE TO ASKS QUESTIONS,

ALL 45'S SHIPPED IN WHITE OR PLASTIC SLEEVE.

NM = Mint. No such thing really, unless its still sealed. Brand new, unplayed. 
EX- = Excellent. Looks almost new. Possibly has one to two minors faults, and some evidence of having been played, with no audible defect.
VG+ = Very Good Plus. Has light scuffs and scratches but mostly inaudible. possibly can hear a bit of noise in quiet parts. Records with slight surface noise and/or scuffs fall into this category.
VG = Very Good. Has a bit more wear and tear, surface noise a bit more apparent, but still very listenable. Records in this category have more significant damage or wear.
VG- = More, distracting surface noise. Quite audible but good for singalongs etc ;-) Only used for rarites that you otherwise may not find.
G+ = Good Plus. Not really good, more like a dustbin lid, used really only for rarities and/or label fillers
