Swell - "41"

Vinyl is VG+

Unlike the other albums I have up for auction, this is from my personal collection.  I never seem to have the time to sit and listen to albums anymore so, instead of letting it become a museum piece, I'd rather it be played, somewhere...  Took me a while to find this album.  I've played it perhaps three times.  I love this album - for me, what comes through on it is a band that loves playing music together.  This, despite the less than smooth time they were having.  It comes with protective outer sleeve and premium-type anti-static inner sleeve just like all the other albums I have.

 
A Note on the grading:
I try to be conservative. I've bought vinyl from Ebay and have sometimes been disappointed with what others considered "Near Mint."  I will rate this high only if the record appears to be in perfect condition.  If there's one scuff, very light mark or scratch, etc. then it's VG+ at best and will go down in grade accordingly.  I don't use VG++ or NM-.  My main mission is to find homes for these albums where they will be played and enjoyed - otherwise, they'll likely just sit on a shelf.  Those who have been buying records for a while know that some vinyl just looks ugly.  This has to do with the manufacturing process and has nothing to do with its used condition.  I've seen this with some 80's pressings and also those within the last 5-6 years.  I do not factor "ugly" vinyl into my ratings but will mention it in the listing.  It's debatable as to how much this affects the play characteristics.  I would love to be able to play grade each album but this just isn't feasable at this time.  If you are concerned about a particular album, send me a note and I'll try and give it a quick listen. Unless noted, what you see in the photo is what you will receive - I can't possibly know if an album is supposed to have an insert or lyrics sheet or not.  Please verify with me if this is important! 

PLEASE: NO BIDDERS WITH LESS THAN 25 FEEDBACK SCORE!
