RECORD CONDITION:……... NM- to NM, doesn’t look like it’s ever been played.
I’ve had a hard time finding any info on this record but a VG copy with a regular paper sleeve just went for $300.00, a VG- went for $150, so this must be a wanted record. This is a NM looks like old store stock copy. I see “RARE’ all the time but this must really be “RARE”. Don’t miss this if you’re a Soul Man or Woman!!

GRADING SYSTEM :
NM…….…Near Mint – close to a Still sealed condition
NM-……..Near Mint – A record that looks like it has been recently taken from a sealed album but been played less than 4 times. May have some surface scuffs from sleeve, superficial only. Still has the original luster, the vinyl shines and sparkles almost new.
VG++ to NM- Better than VG++ but not quite NM-. Somewhere in between.VG++ …. Very Good ++ A few light age abrasions are visible, but they are extremely shallow, superficial and only moderately visually distracting (nothing significant) and should play without background noise.. Still has the original luster, the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new. May have some surface scuffs from sleeve, superficial only.
VG+……..Very Good + - a used, reasonable copy. There will be signs of wear and the possibility of light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages, but still quite nice.
VG……….Very Good – Shows obvious signs of wear, has surface scratches that you can probably hear, but should still play good and it should not skip.
JACKET GRADING
NM- Has sharp corners and no visible blemishes, a jacket that looks like it has not been handled much.
VG++ a jacket with only minor shelf wear, may have light ring wear. no seam splits. it could have a name written somewhere but the name is really not distracting. an album that has been stored properly, standing up
VG+ - a jacket that has been handled properly, but does show its age. may have shelf/record wear, minor seam splits, writing, misc.flaws but is still intact.
VG A jacket that does have noticeable shelf or ring wear—more than a 3” seam split. may have wear to corners, shows distinct wear from handling. there may be ringwear or minor discoloring, may have edge and spine wear.
VG- A COVER THAT HOLDS THE RECORD.
