VAN MORRISON
MOONDANCE
1981 ~ WB/Direct Disk Labs ~ SD 16604 ~ Original First Issue
"Super Disk" ~  Half-Speed Mastered
Non-translucent Audiophile Vinyl ~  Gatefold Cover ~ Very Limited Pressing
Title was first released in 1969
 
VINYL : EX: Very black and shiny with a few very light surface marks. Side Two has a long surface mark that does not seriously affect play.

COVER : EX- : All seams and both spines intact. Moderate yellowing on inner cover.
Minor shelf wear, mostly on bottom seam and minor ring wear, mostly on back.

INNER SLEEVE: Audiophile "anti-static" sleeve.

LABELS : Very sharp with Direct Disk info.

NOTES: MOONDANCE was Van's only LP to have ever been given an "audiophile" issue.
Side Two has one long surface mark (not an actual scratch) that while easily visible, does not cause pops or clicks.
This LP does have minor surface noise, mostly in between tracks and in very quiet sections,
but the overall sound is wonderful, superior to the "normal"vinyl version.

A SIMPLE VINYL GRADING SYSTEM :

Mint: Sealed/Unplayed/Unopened/The Holy Grail/Not used on an opened item.
Mint minus (M-): New and Possibly Unplayed ; a rarely used grade at Bear's Wax.
Near Mint (NM): Like-new, with very little or no visible wear; very scarce & very collectible.
Near Mint minus (NM-): Almost like-new, very slight signs of play or wear that are strictly cosmetic. Very nice.
Excellent (EX) /Very Good plus-plus (VG++): A step above VG+, very clean, no serious flaws. Appears seldom spun. Nice.
Very Good plus (VG+): Above average LP; a few moderate surface marks or paper scuffs; minor surface noise. Not bad.
Very Good (VG) : An average used LP, several surface marks/maybe light scratches. Noisy but plays through, no skips. OK.
Very Good minus (VG-) : Reveals lots of wear & noise when viewed or spun but is not defective or warped. A bit rough.

****************************************************

LP cover grading is very subjective and in the end is simply just one man's opinion.
A difference of opinion on a cover's "proper" or "correct" grade will not be not grounds for a refund.
We attempt to describe every cover's pluses & minuses as best as we can, arrive at a fair grade & show a good picture. All major  flaws will be mentioned. If you have concerns/questions please email for more info/photos.

*************************RANDOM NOTES**************************

Your item will be packaged with tender loving care by someone who has been obsessed with vinyl since the early Sixties. All records are securely placed in nice new inner sleeves & new poly sleeves & then carefully packed inside thick cardboard mailers along with stiff cardboard inserts & sheets of bubble wrap to help provide as safe a delivery as possible.

All records are carefully sight-graded by someone who has looked at used records for 35 years. Play-grading upon request. Please keep in mind that used LPs from the '50s & '60s are very rarely, if ever, found in Mint condition & very seldom in actual Near Mint. 

Pictures shown in a bearswaxrecords listing are always of the actual item up for bid, not altered or left over from some other auction. More photos are available on request.

  International bidders are always welcome.  A special note to my overseas buyers: Please do not ask me to falsify your customs forms. This is a service I cannot provide. My friends at the local Post Office know that my eBay items are not "gifts". Thanks for understanding.

Please bid with confidence. Check out my hard-earned feedbacks. Buyers appreciate my careful packaging methods. Sincere thanks for looking & best of luck on all future eBay adventures. Satisfaction is guaranteed within reason. Please e-mail with any questions concerning any listed item. Positive feedback will be left promptly for deserving eBayers.

This item is taken from the still sprawling collection of a well-respected former used record store owner, now semi-retired but even more inspired & certainly much blessed. Heartfelt thanks to all past buyers from every State & many countries all over the World.
Please stay tuned to the continuing eBay listings of Bear's Wax Records, founded in the Spring of 1979.
