Vinyl Play Back: EX ~ NM- Plays beautifully without exaggeration. Side 1 is near perfect, with no concerning audible issues whatsoever. Surface noise and tics are at a bare minimum. Side 2 delivers the same top quality, however, repeat tics are heard for approx 40 seconds during the middle of 'Brain Damage'. No other issues. Overall Audio Play Grade: 9+/10.
Vinyl Visual: EX+ Both sides are clean and glossy, with minimal wispy spider lines. There is one surface scratch on Side 2.
Shrink Wrap: EX- Please see photos.
Cover: EX+ The gatefold has never been opened. Under the shrink, the cover remains in close to near-perfect condition. No creases, corner bumps, ring wear, or seam splits are present. The LP insert opening shows mild signs of gentle use. The proper 2nd state round black hype sticker is present on the wrap. The spine is straight with all text legible. All blemishes seen in the photos are on the shrink... not the cover.
Labels: EX- Passive spots are seen. Nothing egregious.
Posters & Stickers: NM
INV: 792
Additional photos are available upon request. Returns are accepted up to 10 days after delivery. Thank you for looking!
Grading endeavors to be conservative. (Please see below for grading scale)
All open vinyl is shipped in a new poly-inner, and the album cover in a poly-sleeve.
Vinyl is cleaned on a VPI 16.5 machine and test played 'start-to-finish' prior to listing, unless otherwise noted.
'Vinyl Playback' will always address egregious audible concerns. If you encounter any issues with your purchase, please contact me prior to leaving negative or neutral feedback.
My goal is your 100% complete satisfaction.
Vinyl Play Grades
M: Still sealed
M-: An opened item that appears 'M'. Virtually perfect playback.
NM: A few minor visual imperfections with virtually no audible impact. Top quality play.
EX: A few more surface marks than NM with very few audible imperfections. Quality play.
VG+: Surface scuffs and lines. Some light surface noise or a few tics or pops. Enjoyable play.
VG: Defined scuffs, lines, and scratches. More surface noise, tics, and pops than VG+. Acceptible play.
G: Heavy wear, deep scratches, with egregious surface noise, clicks, and pops. Poor play.
Hybrid Example: Vinyl which is VG in appearance but plays NM. = Visual Grade: VG Playback Grade: NM

Album covers are graded on a case by case basis given the myriad of issues which may impact each.
All grading is completely subjective and provided to the best of my ability.
