Additional Information: Legendary audiophile pressing detailing her romance with Dylan in heartfelt terms. Beautiful copy, as pristine as it gets, with Teldec and virgin vinyl stickers on front. From the Skeptical Audiophile:
"One of the best Half Speed Mastered Records we have ever played.
In our recent shootout we were shocked — shocked — to hear how good our old copy of Diamonds and Rust on Nautilus sounded head to head against some of the best pressings we could find.
If I hadn’t heard it with my own two ears, I wouldn’t have believed it."
Record Grading is M (Sealed), NM, VG++, VG+, VG, VG-, G. Mint is only used with sealed LPs, NM is a record that is for all intents and purposes perfect, VG++ has no feelable marks and only the slightest evidence of handling or play. VG+ is a high-grade used LP that shows minor wear. VG does not have feelable marks but has scattered marks and may play with light surface noise. A VG- record has either a lot of non-feelable marks or a few feelable marks. It will play with not-overpowering surface noise and should not skip. A G rating is usually a heavily worn record, but which is still listenable.
Cover Grading is NM, VG++, VG+, VG, VG- and G. NM is a cover with a virtually perfect surface, with almost no, or not any, wear, whitening or creasing. It is close to perfect, almost interchangeable with mint. VG++ is a more typical grade for a cover, and is a cover which is beautiful but may have very slight imperfections. We don't grade cutouts higher than VG++. VG+ is a high grade which shows slight overall wear but no major problems such as scuffing or whitening around the edges. VG has edge wear, small imperfections like writing, blobs or tears, but is still strong visually. VG- is an intact cover with small splits (under 3" typically) with various issues including small tears, writing, cutout marks, etc. G is a cover which, while presentable, has major issues like seams entirely split, large tears or writing etc.
Shipping is $6.50 inside the U.S. across the board, regardless of quantity of items. So you can save on domestic shipping by buying more than one record. We'd rather see your money go towards records rather than the post office!
