$

80

Leonard Bernstein, Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, Mstislav Rostropovich, Jean-Pierre Rampal ?– Halil • Meditations From "Mass" • On The Waterfront: Symphonic Suite LP.  Deutsche Grammophon German pressing issued in 1982.  
The cover is signed by Leonard Bernstein, with a note that I believe says "For Valerie."  Bernstein's signature is very clean.
The vinyl is NM.  It looks unplayed.  (I have not play tested it, but will upon request.)   The jacket of the LP is VG with several small creases on the front, as well as a few on the back.   Side 1 has some light background noise in places.  Side 2 also has some light background noise in places, and B2 and B3 have some light pops.  None of the noise interferes with the enjoyment of the record in my opinion.  The liner notes are in nice shape as well.
I will ship via media mail, with the inner sleeve outside of the cover, and both inside an acid-free record sleeve, and with cardboard inserts.

My grading scale is as follows:
M:  This is a new and sealed record.  For jackets, corners are sharp, and no creases or any other wear.
NM: The record looks basically new. No marks of any kind. Jackets will have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects.
VG+: Will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled (slight scuffs or very light scratches), but signs will be of a cosmetic nature. Any defects do not affect not playback. Jacket may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner.
VG: The record can have quite a few hairlines and maybe a few scratches. There will likely be noise (in passages or throughout), but the record will play through and be very enjoyable.  Jackets may have seam partial seam splits, creases, rounded corners, or other wear. G: A record can be played through without skipping, but will have noticeable scratches and/or groove wear that will result in surface noise and "ticks" that accompany the playback.  A cover or sleeve will have complete seam splits, tape, writing, ring wear, or other significant defects will be present.
P: Will not sell a record in this condition.  Jacket is water damaged, split on all three seams, or otherwise heavily marred by wear and writing.
