Grandaddy
CLASSIC EARLY SINGLE! 1995
Taster b/w Nebraska 45
Get-Go Records
VINYL CONDITION: VG++ / NM
SLEEVE CONDITION: VG++ / NM

I am not a professional at grading records, so it's possible this record is VG++. However, with that said, this record was never played by me, and looks likely to have never been played at all. I am unable to find a single flaw in it. The record also comes with the original insert from Get-Go records, and the sleeve is also in immaculate condition, without even a corner bend.

This from discogs.com:

"Second "official" release (do all the hand made cassettes really count?). (c)1994 New Dark Green Recordings. Glossy v-fold printed cover. Includes small Get Go Records order form insert. Black vinyl. "Taster" and "Nebraska" are not available on LP/CD."

This is a piece of history, and I hope it finds a home with someone who treasure it as I have.

I am also selling the Grandaddy Split 7" With The Polyphonic Spree "The Rugged And Splintered Entertainment System b/w The March. If the same buyer purchases both records, I'm happy to combine shipping. 

Shipping will be actual cost, and will be very well packaged to prevent any damage.

The Goldmine standards for grading

MINT (M) - These are absolutely perfect in every way. Often rumored but rarely seen, Mint should never be used as a grade unless more than one person agrees that the record or sleeve truly is in this condition.

NEAR MINT (NM) - A good description of a NM record is “it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time.” In other words, it’s nearly perfect. Many dealers won’t use a grade higher than this, implying (perhaps correctly) that no record or sleeve is ever truly perfect. Near mint records are shiny and free of visible defects. No writing, stickers, other markings or spindle marks appear on the label. No major factory defects are present; a record and label obviously pressed off center is not Near Mint. If played, an NM record will do so without surface noise. Near Mint records don’t have to be “never played”; a record used on an excellent turntable can remain NM after many plays if the disc is properly cared for. NM covers have no creases, ring wear or seam splits of any kind. These are high standards, and they are not on a sliding scale. 

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) - A good description of a VG+ Record is “except for a couple of minor things, this would be Near Mint.” Most collectors, especially those who want to play their records, will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if it is toward the high end of the grade, (sometimes called VG++ or E+). VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that don’t affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, so long as repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. VG+ Covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint. 

VERY GOOD (VG) - Many of the imperfections found on a VG+ Record are more obvious on a VG record. That said, VG records — which usually sell for no more than 25 percent of a an NM record — are among the biggest bargains in record collecting, because most of the “big money” goes for more perfect copies. For many listeners, a VG record or sleeve will be worth the money. VG records have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and ending. But the noise won’t overpower the music otherwise. Minor writing, tape or a sticker can detract from the label. Many collectors who have jukeboxes will use VG records in them and not think twice. They remain a fine listening experience, just not the same as if it were in better shape. VG covers will have many signs on human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover, where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious; it may appear on all three sides, thought it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written on it or stamped a price tag on it, too.
