NEIL YOUNG  DECADE 
LABEL: Reprise 3RS 2257
  FORMAT:  LP, Vinyl, Album
Visual Vinyl Grade: EXCELLENT Cover Grade: VERY GOOD+ 


COMMENTS:  See photos for song listing and grading details.  No barcode, first pressing.  PLAY TESTED: plays near dead silent throughout most of the playing surface.  There are areas of scattered light ticks but nothing loud and distracting.  The vinyl has some sleeve scuffs and light hairlines, more on record 1.  Some labels have spindle marks but there are no silver pressure lines in the spindle holes from many plays.  Some labels have no spindle marks at all.  The full gloss tri-fold cover has moderate seam rub, a bit heavier at the bottom two corners and along the edges of the spine.  No creases of note, very faint areas of ring wear.  Nothing that wouldn't be considered normal for the grade.  First pressing hype sticker is on the cover.  Original generic inner sleeves all fully intact.  The cover ships in a heavy-duty protective poly sleeve.     
    GRADING GUIDELINE 
MINT (M):  The record is in brand new condition and looks perfect with no surface marks of any kind.  The record has likely never been played.  The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are also in perfect condition.
MINT MINUS (MT-):  The record looks mint but bright light reveals faint marks left from decades of contact with the inner sleeve.  These types of marks do not affect playback.  The record may be never played.  The cover may have a very small amount of storage wear.      
EXCELLENT (EX):  The record shows some signs of having been played but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have light wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD (VG):  The record has obviously been played many times but displays no major deterioration in sound quality.  Noticeable surface marks are present and the occasional light scratch.  Normal wear and tear on the cover without any major defects.
GOOD (G):  The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.  The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing on the edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

I AM IN THE PROCESS OF LIQUIDATING MY COLLECTION OF THOUSANDS  OF LP'S, CD'S AUTOGRAPHS AND OTHER MUSIC MEMORABILIA THAT WAS ACCUMULATED OVER DECADES OF BEING IN THE RETAIL MUSIC BUSINESS.  NEARLY ALL OF THE LP'S AND CD'S WERE IMMEDIATELY PUT IN STORAGE AND HAVE NEVER BEEN PLAYED.  ALL ARE GUARANTEED TO BE ORIGINAL PRESSINGS.
PROMOTIONAL LP'S:  LP's marked as promotional almost always came from first pressings.  Promo labels, cover drills, corner cuts, notches and gold stamps were a common way for record labels to mark and identify non-returnable copies given to retail and/or radio stations.  The covers may be marked but the vinyl inside may be the best you can find if in high grade.
SHIPPING AND PACKAGING:  FAST SHIPMENTS GUARANTEED.  Shipments are processed the same or next business day after payment.  Only the highest quality box and packing materials are used for PROPER PACKAGING to assure your LP arrives safely.  If the album is unsealed the LP will always be shipped outside of its cover to prevent cover damage.  For purchases over $15 a new inner sleeve is used to protect the original custom sleeve.  Both cover and LP are placed in a thick heavy-duty poly outer sleeve.

 COMBINED SHIPPING FOR USPS MEDIA MAIL:  $4.67 FOR THE FIRST LP + $1.00 EACH ADDITIONAL LP.
