Description
***HYBRID. Do you cover is a CRC record club edition that once housed a near mint vinyl that was purchased and damaged in transit. The package was literally folded in half. You can see crease marks on the cover in the photos attached, and is graded accordingly. The original vinyl was cracked in half. So I purchased this replacement copy that turns out to be a rare hybrid that is not cataloged / found. It has Terre Haute press markings on side A and Santa Maria Press markings on B.***
This is a 1977 first pressing of the Rush album "A Farewell to Kings" on the Mercury record label. This high-fidelity LP features progressive rock, hard rock, and 1970s style music in stereo on a 12" black vinyl record. It includes original inner sleeve and cover in a gatefold format, and is graded very good in condition. The record was produced by Rush and is a must-have for fans of their music.

Our Grading
Because of our high inventory volume, most records are visually graded using the Goldmine grading standard recognized by Discogs.
Mint (M)
Vinyl: Brand new, flawless, unplayed, and usually still sealed in plastic.
Cover: Perfect with zero creases, folds, or defects.
Near Mint (NM or M-) or Excellent (EX)
Vinyl: Nearly perfect. Shines like new with only minor scuffs or paper wisps from the inner sleeve that do not affect play.
Cover: Clean, crisp, and sharp with no ring wear, creases, or seam splits.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
Vinyl: Shows light signs of use. May have slight scuffs or light scratches that cause faint pops or crackles during quiet parts, but the music overpowers them.
Cover: Slight corner wear, minor ring wear, or a very small split on a seam.
Very Good (VG)
Vinyl: Noticeable groove wear. Scratches are deeper, feelable by finger and cause continuous soft clicks or light surface noise, but it plays through without skipping.
Cover: Visible ring wear, split seams, or small writing/stickers on the jacket.
Good (G) / Good Plus (G+)
Vinyl: Plays through with possibility of skips, but heavy surface noise, pops, and crackles are constant and loud enough to overpower the music at times.
Cover: Heavy ring, or edge wear, major split seams, tape repairs, or heavy writing.
Fair (F) and Poor (P)
Vinyl: Heavily damaged. Expect deep scratches, constant skipping, warping, or parts that will not play at all.
Cover: Torn, water-damaged, heavily taped, or falling apart.
