The Md's on Surgeon MD 001.  "Brain Damage"
Cover is in VG- condition. (top seam has a 7" seam
split starting at the opening and a 4" seam split on the
bottom seam and shelf wear. back cover a bit yellowed)  
Record is in VG+ condition (slight loss of overall luster and
some surface marks only. no feel-able scratches. Side 1 looks
slightly better than VG+ and side 2 looks slightly worse - strong VG
visually.  so overall I give it a VG+   Plays Great!  Listen!)   
Only copy of this record on ebay.  very rare Private Pressing!


The band were Puerto Rican pre-med students hence the band name,
and the album was recorded in 1981 and put out on their own Surgeon
label.  Interesting mixture of punk, quasi-hardcore and  new wave influences.
A very good album overall with plenty of attitude and only on the last two
songs does the band downshift a little and ease up a bit ending with a ballad
laden with synthesizer followed by a reggae influenced number.  Overall a
very cool and fun album.  Hilarious back cover picture that looks like a bunch
of goofy yearbook photos.

I use a system close to but slightly different from Goldmine standards.
I grade records by examining them visually under a BRIGHT

light generally.   I also play records much of the time to check

the condition as well.  And sometimes I just play a sample

of the record to get an idea.  Records play differently on different

systems  though and the buyer should keep this in mind.

(Near Mint)  Record shows virtually no signs of use or play, or very, very little, and still has a “like new” gloss to it.  Flawless or very close to it!

(VG++)  Record has just a few very minor surface marks preventing it from being NM.  Record shows signs that it has been played, but has not been played a lot, and has been well taken care of.

(VG+)  Record has more than a few surface marks, and shows signs that it has been played, but is still in relatively good condition.  Some surface marks are visible, but there are no scratches that can be felt, and record should still play fairly well.

(VG)  Record usually shows many surface marks and perhaps some small scratches that can be felt. Record usually shows a loss of luster.  Record has been stored without a sleeve and has generally not been handled very carefully. VG records generally play with compromised sound but not always.

(VG-)  Record has practically none of its original luster and has surface marks and scratches throughout its playing area.

Most 45 rpm records fall into the VG and VG+ categories. Many 45 rpm records are stored without paper sleeves and this prevents many 45s from being in VG++
and Near Mint conditions. LP records can generally be found in better condition
due to the fact that the cover protects the records better generally. Most LP
covers, without the shrink wrap on them, fall into the VG+ and VG categories generally but not always.

Accurately describing the condition of a record is the most crucial element in selling records. I strive to grade in a very strict and consistent manner.
I generally do not list records that grade low or lower then VG- condition unless they are collectible records. Sometimes many different factors need to be regarded when grading records, and the list above can you give you a fairly good idea as to how a grade, but in many ways it only serves as a general guideline.

I pack records very well yet sometimes, but luckily very rarely, records do get broken and damaged at the post office.  Please consider adding insurance to your order just in case.  I will not be responsible for records that are damaged by the United States Postal system.
