Description
For sale is the album in the title and shown in the pictures. This entire set is in incredible shape. Some folks would certainly give it an overall grade of MINT or NM/M-. I like to be on the conservative side of grading and will give this an incredibly strong overall grade of VG++/EX++. I'm aware that isn't an actual grade, but rather strong emphasis on VG+/EX.
This two LP set of one of the most popular ballets of all time. Both of these albums are two of the best looking albums I've ever seen. They appear to be absolutely flawless and are jet black glossy vinyl. I would say these look like they were produced yesterday and have never been touched.
The album cover is equally impressive. The front of it looks almost perfect, except for a small ding on the top right corner. Inside the gatefold is virtually flawless as well. It has only a minor crease about an inch long. It is at the bottom just to the right of the fold. The back is also great looking with only a smudge at the bottom in the center. I'd give this a very strong VG+.
Please ensure that you are familiar with the Goldmine Grading Guidelines. Although our auctions state that no returns are accepted, will always accept a return if we misrepresent the condition of an item we sell.
We always strive to provide the most accurate condition of everything we sell and will always lean toward the conservative side in our estimations, particularly on items that condition is paramount to their value and/or functionality.
Please take a close look at the pictures and ask any questions if necessary.
Albums will be shipped in an album shipping box. We are happy to provide combined shipping for multiple purchases. Shipping costs are $4.00 for the first album and 50 cents for each additional album purchased.
SPEND $25 AND DOMESTIC SHIPPING IS FREE. We combine shipping for international orders, but due to the varying rates to different countries and limited options on here, we will provide a combined international shipping rate upon request.
PLEASE NOTE: NM/M- records are virtually nonexistent, particularly ones that have been around for 30+ years and played over the years. Industry experts generally agree that no more than 2-4% of albums are truly NM/M- and virtually none exist that are MINT. Many sellers will grade a number of their albums as NM/M-. For an album to be NM/M- is cannot have ANY visible defects. Any smudge, scratch, or blemish is a visible defect. Any crack or worn area around a center hole and/or label is a visible defect. We have come across many albums, many being in my own personal collection, that are absolutely flawless in sound quality, but have a(some) smudge(s) or very minor scratch(es). We will NEVER grade these albums NM/M- because of these visible defects. If an album has one smudge or scratch, we do not grade it NM/M-, nor should any other seller. We grade less than 1% of the albums we put up for sale as NM/M- for this reason. With that said, we always under grade our albums, standing on the conservative side of grading to ensure customer satisfaction. However, if you are ever dissatisfied with your purchase, we will always accept a return, per the return guidelines.
Thanks for looking and God bless!
