RECORDS: (NM) All 4 Records look amazing, no scratches! COVER: (VG-) Box has shelf wear & some pen scribbling on the front, the edges show wear and have been taped neatly, 12-page booklet is in VG+ condition / Original Virgin label sleeves are faded but are still in VG condition

Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket (unless it's sealed) to avoid seam splits, cardboard pad inserts or foam are used, and placed in a sturdy record mailer for safe delivery.

HOW I GRADE RECORDS:

STILL SEALED (SS): Factory Sealed, NOT Resealed

MINT (M): Like New

NEAR MINT (NM): Record Grade: Extremely nice, would be mint except for sleeve marks or very light hairline scratch that doesn't effect play.

                                    Cover Grade: Would be mint except for the slightest ring or shelf wear, possibly a slight crease. (this would be specified when grading)

VERY GOOD+ (VG+): RECORD GRADE: Well taken care of, but used, may have light scuffs or scratches, plays with some light surface noise, but still enjoyable.

                                         COVER GRADE: Shows light ring or shelf wear or crease. (this would be specified when grading)

VERY GOOD (VG): RECORD GRADE: A well used record that should sound OK, but may have moderate surface noise & pops

                                    COVER GRADE: Shows moderate ring or shelf wear, creases, possible stain, writing on cover (woc), seam splits (would be specified in grade)

GOOD (G): RECORD GRADE: Has scratches, should play all the way through, but possibly a skip, lots of surface noise, crackles & pops

                     COVER GRADE: Not well taken care of, possibly some damage [water, tears, lots of writing] - (would be specified in grade)

FAIR (F): Strictly a filler, this wouldn't be listed if it wasn't rare!
