Description

ARTIST - MICHAEL RABIN TITLE - THE MAGIC BOW LABEL -CAPTIOL  CATALOG NO - SP8510 
RECORD AND COVER GRADING - VG+(STRONG FOR THE RECORD)
The record has some slight quiet crackly moments but great moments of clarity. There are some visible hairlines in the high gloss vinyl. The cover is all intact. Minor chip on the word Magic on the spine. A couple of chips on the corners. On the back is an area at the top where you can see a sticker was taken off. Some minor Scotch taped areas. These can all be seen in the pictures. This is an original Canada pressing, I think it may be a first stereo pressing. The logo is above and not on the left, but there is the old style stampers in the dead wax. There is also the Scranton anvil symbol in the dead wax as well, even though the label says Manufactured in Canada.  Imported out of the U.S.?? perhaps, but I could not find evidence to support that. 
thanks for looking. 
International bidders- I now mostly ship using e-Bays's International Standard Delivery. It sends the item to a shipping center in the U.S. and they send it off from there. If you would like to change the shipping preference please let me know. And as always, I do not change values on customs labels. Thank you. 
I can combine shipping! Many times it means I can ship up to 3 LP's U.S. for the same cost as one, and possibly more 45's. International bidders - Combined shipping will be only based on weight, so I will need to know how many items are bought before sending invoice. Thanks again!!
VJ'S VINYL GRADING SYSTEM: (based on Goldmine) 
Mint - never used, once a record is opened, the top you can get is mint minus. Mint Minus - A great record, one or two fine hairline scuffs, sounds flawless. A mint minus record can "play" mint. Covers are new looking, may have shrink. Excellent - Can have faint hairline scuffs that do no affect play. Can have very minor infrequent crackling. Minor bumps in the cover. VG+ - Scuffs can be more prevalent, with a little more surface noise. If it visually has more scuffs but plays great, I will note that. Still, a very fine and playable copy. Covers have minor age and shelf wear.  VG - Can have lots of hairline scuffs, and maybe one or two scratches. Surface noise more prevalent with some popping in spots. Covers have more extensive age and shelf wear. Minor splits. VG minus - More in the way of scratches and surface noise is NOT infrequent. Still, a viable copy. Covers may have splits.  G+ - only reserved for a very rare or popular record. Very noisy, maybe some skips, scratches are evident. Covers are trashed.  STILL SEALED - I will grade the vinyl as "still sealed." That means it's probably mint minus, but I do not know if there was any factory defects.  Hairline scuffs -  are light yet visible. You cannot feel them with the skin of your finger. (I cannot fathom feeling it with your fingernail as described in Goldmine...why would you do that?) Scratches you can feel. If I am on the fence between grades, I will go with the lower one.  I will not use VG++ etc., but will say that a record is a "strong" VG+. "Age wear" on a cover is either fading or yellowing. "Shelf wear" is ring wear, corner bumps, or fraying
