This item has been visually inspected. We do not have the ability to test play the record so, out of caution, we try to be conservative in our grading of the vinyl.
EX: shiny, clean, not warped with no visible defects or wear at all. Other graders might reasonably call this NM or NM-
VG++: possibly not quite as shiny and clean, not warped with minimal very light hairlines, rubs or scuffs that can not be felt with a fingernail
VG+: not warped, possibly less shiny with a few fingerprints, smudges and/or light hairlines, rubs or scuffs that can not be felt with a fingernail.
VG/Not Graded: anything less than VG+. Generally with a defect that would likely affect playback. Offered as-is.
Condition/Grading
Virtually all of our records were purchased at or shortly after the time of their release. They have been stored vertically between records in a dry basement for decades and may have a slightly musty odor.
We do not pretend to provide expert grading but you have our honest evaluation of condition based on our careful visual inspection. If our evaluation is incorrect, we are committed to doing whatever we can to address the problem. Please check our feedback reviews; we have 100% positive feedback on our records and all other sales.
Shipping: We carefully wrap our LPs in kraft paper and ship them in solid LP boxes or other solid boxes.
