Description
For sale is a rare third pressing of Nirvana lp "Bleach" on the Sub Pop label, SP34.
This was sealed about ten minutes ago and I was going to sell it as such, but while researching it I found one person in a talkback claim that he had an original first pressing with the "Color vinyl" sticker on it, while most experts suggest that the sticker was only used on second or third pressings. As the difference in value was significant, and not wanting to raise the hopes of any buyers who might buy it hoping it was (if it wasn't), I decided to open it. Turns out it is a very early Sub Pop repress with pink clear vinyl. Vinyl is as-new M-, my highest grade, as it's never been played. Jacket rates NM, brought down a bit by a small area off wear on the bottom seam where there was a break in the shrink. A great examplein the original shrink.
My grading system:
STILL SEALED : Jacket imperfections, if any, will be described. Vinyl guaranteed to be in unplayed condition.
M : I don't use this grade, on the assumption that no record or jacket is truly flawless.
M- : Vinyl appears unplayed, jacket bears no signs of wear. I rarely, if ever, use this grade.
NM : Like M-, with possible scintilla/whiff of an imperfection
VG++ : May have a couple very minor imperfections. (superficial marks that have little or no bearing on sound.) Jacket may have a couple very minor flaws.
VG+ : Like VG++, but with a few more light imperfections
VG : Several light imperfections, and possibly one or two more serious ones, such as small feelable scratches. Still plays well.
VG- : Will display numerous minor imperfections and/or feelable scratches that affect playback quality. Between you and me, you could do better.
GOOD : What I consider pretty poor... numerous major imperfections. I generally don't sell items in this range unless they are of major significance.
