Description
ITEM DETAILS : weird! great! Super rare... the gold reflective sticker on back says "Made in Barbados by West Indies Records LMT"- was hard to photograph. Not much info on when this was pressed but looks like 67 to 70 to my eyes. But haven't seen many Barbados pressings... ever. We know this unique darker orange/red label was used in 1967 pressings in Barbados (the year this Sinatra greatest Hits was first issued) and can find Sinatra 7"s pressed in Barbados in 1969 with this same color label... and the pressing looks fine, not cheap vinyl or anything like that, no dents or blips. looks great
SLEEVE - Very nice VG++ or better
VINYL: Near Mint, a few paper scuffs that do not sound, almost perfect _______________________________________________________________________________________________
Selling couple of large collections of mostly rarer LPs, CDs, promo items and other non music cultured items.

*******As a longtime seller AND buyer of LPs through the mail…We use oversized 13 x 16 inch mailers with "air cells" on the left and right of the LP to ensure no corner damage. We always ship the the vinyl outside of the sleeve (if not sealed) and pack the inner sleeve separately if necessary to insure it gets no seam split in travel. Also, if not obvious, we do not use the term Mint for open product. near mint is the top grade even if perfect.
we play-grade many of the records we sell our grading in short: This is given that the vinyl medium is not perfect sounding or inherently noise free in the first place. NM - almost perfect to perfect mint. paper-scuffs that do not sound are worst you should see in this grade. NM doesnt have to sound perfect, but pretty close
NM- - perfect but for one small but significant detail or several very small imperfections that add up. one repeating light click on a otherwise perfect vinyl can make a NM minus. Or too many paper scuffs. Play wise there is a overall background noise level that amounts to NM minus to our ears. NM doesn't have to sound perfect, but close. NM minus is just...not as good as NM
VG++ small imperfections add up to putting it out of the NM grade entirely, but still great looking and sounding copy with a little noise here and there and maybe a repeating short click or a small scuff. A VG++ should still be a record that is JUST a little "used"
VG+ a wide grade and we sell only the upper end of this grade vinyl wise. Could be overall too noisy for VG++ or have a couple long hairlines and otherwise perfect. The descrip would communicate this in detail of what amounts the grade to VG+. for a cover, a corner cut or serious crease or any real seam split would automatically put the cover in VG+ at best.
VG we don't sell VG records on here unless super rare pressings
Why do we not use the grade EX (Goldmine, Record Collector, Yr Sister) instead of VG++? We dunno...we used to use EX and criticize graders that used VG++, then we switched over ten years ago.
