$

45

For sale is a very nice copy of LeRoy Hutson's Hutson II on the Curtom label. This record features an embossed cover, and has no barcode. The record is still in shrink, and appears to have been very lightly played. The matrix numbers and other identifying information such as the cover embossing suggest that this is the 1st US edition, Winchester pressing. (c) 1976 Warner Bros shown on the label. Please see detailed condition notes below. Overall, I would grade the outer sleeve / jacket as VG+ (Very Good +). The record itself is EX (Excellent). Grades carefully assigned based visual appearance. This record has not been play graded.  
Label: Curtom Number: CU 5011
Matrix/Runout: CU-1-5011 WW2 (─◁ R.DA. AUDIO LABS) CU-2-5001 WW2 #2 (─◁ R.DA. AUDIO LABS)
Condition Notes:
Jacket (VG+) As indicated, the jacket is in the original shrink, and remains in very good condition. A few very small 'chips' or tears are present in the shrink on the front side of the album. Normal shrink contraction is present, along with the mottled striations in the shrink that you'd expect. A small remainder cut is present at the bottom of the cover. Front side shows some minor ring-shaped staining near the album title. Corners are all sharp for the age of this record. The most significant flaw is a water stain that is visible on the bottom right on the front, and the bottom left when flipped to the back side. The back side is most visible due to the white color. Original inner sleeve is present. 
Record/Media (EX): The record is in excellent condition. There are a few very minor paper sleeve scuffs visible, but the surface is glossy, There are no noteworthy scratches present, and the label is in good shape. No owner writing present anywhere on the label.  
Overall this album is in very good shape.
