Description

Vinyl: side 1: looks and plays mint with no marks or lines even under halogen light

side 2: as above, but an invisible factory flaw in cut 2 causes a few faint ticks, the third gap has a few ticks, but not in the music

Cover: solid seams and spine, no bends or creases, crisp opening with no feathering and no ringwear; this is as close to mint as you'll find.

Labels: side 1: no spindle marks

side 2: as above

Inner: does not include a stiff cardboard inner, but will ship in a high quality archival one

Description: The vinyl looks and plays perfectly despite the few light ticks on s2 which are from the original pressing. The cover looks like new.

____________________

I began buying records in the mid 60’s and I've always been fanatical about record care and storage.

The records I sell are from my personal collection, including backup copies. I've never been one to buy VG records or anything with an audible scratch, which eliminates the vast majority.

Over the decades, I've seen grading fads come and go, such as: “visual” grading by people who don't own a turntable; the current use of nonsense grades like NM+ and NM- as well as the dubious belief that there’s no such thing as a mint record.

I use standard US grading plus the UK grade of EX in order to eliminate the dreaded VG+++.

Records are first inspected under a halogen light (the only light that shows every flaw) and any blemishes are examined with a 10x power magnifier which allows the grooves to be fully inspected; then they’re play graded on a Linn Sondek LP12.

As a record buyer, I've had a lot of over graded “garage sale” LPs arrive covered with gritty dust and greasy fingerprints while the seller claims a “visual” grade based on fantasy. Be assured that my records will arrive clean and fingerprint free.

If I do miss an audible flaw, then kindly contact me and it will be rectified.
