Sleep Chamber LP-, AUTOGRAPHED TEST PRESS

$

44

Extremely Rare, 1989 Sleep Chamber vinyl lp record. This is a white label, white cover, possible test pressing that I received from a friend of the band in 1989. I met them while on tour in Texas and had it signed by them in 1989. It includes 2 original flyers from the Dallas and Houston shows. You are highly unlikely to find another like it!

The vinyl has been visually graded as VG+ to NM condition and it's been wet-vacuum cleaned on an audiophile grade Nitty Gritty machine with Disc Doctor Quick Wash. The cover is in VG+/NM shape as well.  

I'm using the Goldmine grading standard and this this will be carefully packed in the typical heavy cardboard, 12" record mailers. Shipping $4.00 Media $7.50 Priority, $15 Canada & Mexico, $17 Europe, $17 Asia, Insurance extra. 

RECORD GRADING GUIDELINES

MINT (M): Perfect! This record looks like it has just left the manufacturer, with NO flaws what so ever. It looks as though it had never been handled. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains. No stickers address labels, writing on the covers or labels. No tears or seam splits. No wear to the cover or record period! Age of the record has nothing to do with it.

NEAR MINT or NM, M- : this record appears virtually flawless A very minor scuff and very little else can appear on the vinyl. It should play without any noise over the flaw. The flaw is very hard to see. The cover looks as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork is be as close to perfect as can be.

EXCELLENT or EX or VG++ : minor scuffs which are only slightly visible. There may be more than a few scuffs and NO Scratches COVER: Artwork is still as close to perfect as can be. Some impressions to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear! Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show white (where the artwork pasted slick was) meaning, slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs can make this grade.

VERY GOOD PLUS or VG+ record shows wear, surface scuffs. The vinyl still has a great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. If the flaws don't cause any surface noise, the vinyl can still make the VG+ grade. COVERS: A virtually clean cover, but may have small writing on it.The artwork looks clean with slightly more aging. The back of the cover usually gives away the age of the cover. Flat white paper will be somewhat yellow yet no stains or mildew from water damage. Some minor wear to the seams or spine, but no tears or holes popping through. The corners will be slightly dog eared yet no crackly bends, defacing the artwork. In essence, a VG+ cover should have no more than 3 flaws mentioned.
