Bruce Springsteen Devils & Dust Double LP Rare

$

68

Vinyl is VG++ with a few virtually imperceptible scuffs. Plays beautifully at high volume.  High gloss. If you hold the record in a bright light you can see a very slight pressing blemish  on Side 2, track 3 (Maria's Bed) which does not affect play. I am a very conservative grader. (see below)

Cover is VG+ with slight creasing on lower corners (see photos), very light ring wear, with a black mark over the bar code on the flip side.

Inner sleeves are in great shape, with minor one inch seam splits on the bottom.

Your records will be shipped immediately in a heavy duty inner static proof plastic sleeves, separate from both cover and original inner sleeves, with protective heavy duty 3 ml outer sleeve and cardboard backing.

Grading

All gradings are based on thorough visual inspection and a full audition

The standard scale applies (M*, NM, VG+, VG). 

Near Mint(NM) is my highest grade. 

* (I think mint is bullshit -- there is no such thing as a perfect record)

·  NearMint (NM or M-)   A nearly perfect record.  The record should show no obvious signs of wear; ring wearshould be nearly undetectable. The cover should have no creases, folds, seamsplits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. The sameholds true for any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like.  LP in near mint condition looks as if you traveled back intime to pay for the record and just tore off the shrink wrap. (Ah that newvinyl smell)

·  VeryGood Plus (VG+)  A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that itwas played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK".

The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play.

Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating itwas taken out of print and sold at a discount.

In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.

·  Very Good (VG)   Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing,especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.

Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue)attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.
