219

Please see attached photos for this album.  This is a rare Jimi Hendrix boxed LP set with 12 LP's, a single 12", a poster and a booklet.  All 12 records were pressed in Germany on the Polydor label.  The enclosed 14 page booklet is written in German but includes numerous great color photos and a complete listing of the songs on each of the enclosed records.  Each record and sleeve are in NEAR MINT condition but I noted that the tops of some of the covers show some breakthrough (see last photo) and corner wear so are collectively rated VG+.  The unopened poster included with the LP's appears to have a wrinkle but it is as new.  Most of these LP's have never been played!  The outer box is in VG condition but does have some yellowing due to age and very minor scuffing.  Box set will be securely wrapped for shipment to ensure it arrives as seen in this listing.

Grading above is per the Goldmine Grading Guide, summarized below from Goldmine Magazine online.  Please see http://www.goldminemag.com/collector-resources/record-grading-101 at Gold Mine Magazine online for the original article and more details.

MINT (M)
These are absolutely perfect in every way. Often rumored but rarely seen, Mint should never be used as a grade unless more than one person agrees that the record or sleeve truly is in this condition.
NEAR MINT (NM OR M-)
A good description of a NM record is “it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time.” NM records are shiny, with no visible defects. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any “spindle marks” from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. NM covers are free of creases, ring wear and seam splits of any kind.
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) or EXCELLENT (E)
A good description of a VG+ record is “except for a couple minor things, this would be Near Mint.” VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location.
Very Good (VG)
Many of the imperfections found on a VG+ record are more obvious on a VG record. VG records have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible. VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+) or Very Good Minus (VG–)
Good does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, so it can serve as filler until something better comes along. But it has significant surface noise and groove wear, and the label is worn, with significant ring wear, heavy writing, or obvious damage caused by someone trying to remove tape or stickers and failing miserably. A Good to VG– cover has ring wear to the point of distraction, has seam splits obvious on sight and may have even heavier writing, such as, for example, huge radio station letters written across the front to deter theft.
