·       RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

·       THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC,  U.S. 1ST  PRESSING  ; THIS IS NOT AN IMPORT, OR A COUNTERFEIT PRESSING. RARE PITMAN PRESSING !

·       ORIGINAL CARDBOARD GATEFOLD COVER PRODUCED FOR THIS TITLE 

·       CLEAN, WEAR-FREE LABELS

(Note: this is a REAL image of the ACTUAL item you are bidding on. This is NOT a "recycled" image from our previous auction. What you see is what you'll get.  GUARANTEED!)

·       RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS  VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS OR BETTER . Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are visible, but are probably audible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)            The record is pressed on a RELATIVELY  thick, inflexible vinyl. This is NOT a thin, flimsy ('dynaflex' type), vinyl, but not the thickest, most rigid vinyl, either.

(c)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

 ·       COVER

Record Grade Details

• NM (Near Mint):   Our highest grade. Like new, most likely unplayed.
• VG++:   A record that has a few visual imperfections that will not affect the sound. Likely played only a handful of times . 
• VG+:   A few more surface marks than a VG++. The record has probably been played before but well taken care of and should play with very few audible imperfections.
• VG:   The record will display light surface scuffs and marks. Expect some light surface noise in parts or a few clicks or pops here and there. A VG record will play with very minimal noise and will still be quite enjoyable. We think our VG grade is conservative.
• VG-:   The record may have some deeper audible scratches. There will be some clicks and pops more consistently than that of a VG record but will play without skipping.
• G:   The record will have heavy wear, deep scratches and very apparent surface noise, clicks or pops.
• Poor:   Records with this grade should be considered unplayable.
