Description

MODEST MOUSE - The Lonesome Crowded West

 

Label: UP Records

Cat#: UP 044

VINYL:  Side A VG+

                Side B VG ++

Side C - NM-

Side D - NM-

Those are the "play" grades - since this such a valuable record, I cleaned both discs with my VPI machine using Disc Doctor fluids.  Side A has some pops and minor surface noise in spots - most audible on the quiet songs.  Side B is better with fewer pops and less noise.  The second record is super quiet - very nice NM-.  Visually both discs are very glossy, slight scuffing from removal from paper sleeves (I have replaced inner sleeves with high quality static free audiophile sleeves).  The original full color inner sleeves are included of course and are NM.  I have additional photos if you want - just email me. 


SLEEVE: Sleeves - Both have excellent gloss, no major defects - see close up pics for corners end edge of sleeve
 

MY RECORDS ARE ACCURATELY GRADED!

MY RECORDS ARE CLEAN! As an added bonus , all unsealed records are cleaned on my brand new VPI HW-17i record machine using a three step process with state of the art Disc Doctor fluids.  I’m also including a brand new anti-static inner sleeve, so it's as clean as it can be. I’ll include the original inner sleeve unless it’s generic. I ship all vinyl in new, heavy cardboard LP mailers and for non-sealed records I place the vinyl outside of the sleeve to avoid seam splitting.

GOLDMINE GRADING

I grade using the Goldmine grading standard.

SEALED: Never opened...never played.  Still in original shrink.

MINT: It should appear to be perfect. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains, labels or writing, tears or splits. Mint means perfect.

NM: Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly.

VG+: The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully. Not too far from perfect. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original luster may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors.

VG: Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, but should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.

G: Well played with little luster and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record should still play all the way through without skipping. Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not obliterate the artwork.

P: Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above Good grading should be seen as Poor. Several cover flaws.
