 Of interest:   For sigur ros fans, in a frozen sea: a year with sigur ros is absolutely it. the 32-page publication comes encased in a 12" vinyl jacket, and features photography of both the band and the vast icelandic landscape, setting a beautiful context for the band's music. during sigur ros' gratis tour of iceland, the band found themselves playing everywhere from the nation's capitol of reykjavik to small towns in the icelandic countryside, setting up stages wherever they went (with full brass and string ensemble, of course). the publication's images give sigur ros' songs a visual backdrop like no other ? from behind the stage and beyond the crowd, you see vast mountains, glacier tips, coniferous trees reaching skyward, all blending in with the bend of an azure sky. a+r captures all the details, from information about iceland's most famous musical church (and the stunning photo of sigur ros playing in front of it) to the faces of fans enraptured with the band's live show, to a shot capturing singer/guitarist jonsi in a shoe-less moment on stage, curling his socked toes under as he performs. artist appreciation, indeed.

in a frozen sea: a year with sigur ros is available to order on june 1, 2007  ? and will also be stocked in select stores. for the true fan, there will be 5,000 limited edition vinyl album collections. this special edition run contains in a frozen sea, as well as three of sigur ros' 12" lp's including agaetis byrjun, ( ), takk and smaskifa, which has yet to be released in a 12" format (seven pieces of vinyl total). these albums have been re-released and repackaged solely for this artist in residence exclusive.(wiki)

****SALEM ATTIC NOTES**** All records are inspected beforehand.  If they need to be cleaned, then I do so. I use a spin clean system, that does a good job. Sometimes it does not get out the real tough stuff, so I do that by hand if I need to. I  then check the LP's for scratches, lighter blemishes, warps etc..  I sound check any record that has even slight blemishes, and after sound checking will note any issues I noticed or lack there of in this product information page.  If the jacket needs a dusting I dust it. I then put all standard sized record jackets in 2 or 3 mil. protective sleeves. The standard way I ship is with the LP behind the cover to prevent ring wear and other damage to jacket. If you have a specific way you like your LP's shipped let me know. During mailing all LP's are housed in double cardboard padded record mailers. 

My record grading system.  This is a BASELINE.  I will put the specifics of each jacket and vinyl into the product description itself. 

Mint (M) 

(Jacket) There will be no flaws. The jacket will be factory sealed with perfect or close to perfect corners. 

(LP) The vinyl itself should be without flaws since the jacket surrounding it has never been opened. 

Mint Minus (M-) 

(Jacket) The jacket will most likely be sealed in original shrink, but there may be some shrink missing. There may be slight wear from storage at the corners.

(LP) The vinyl itself should be without flaws since the jacket surrounding it has never been opened. 

Near Mint (NM) 

(Jacket) If the jacket is sealed there may be some minor corner damage from storage, it may have some torn shrink-wrap. The corners may show some storage wear. If not sealed the cover will show no more than very minor corner wear.  Creasing will also be minute at most.  There will be no visible ring wear. No writing, rips or tears on the cover or seams. No bubbling, water/mold stains or peeling of the cover in any way. The inside of the gate-fold will be in the same condition.  Cutout bin punches, price stickers, staples would start being listed at the NM category and would be noted accordingly as they affect the jacket itself.

(LP) You should not hear any surface noise (snaps,crackles, pops) when you play the record. There will not be any skips or repeats. The LP will retain that just opened appearance. There may be some light sleeve abrasions but they will not have any affect on the sound. There will be no warping. There will be no major surface blemishes, light or deep scratches. The label will be free of writing and stains. There should be no stand out spindle marks. 

Near Mint Minus (NM-) 

(Jacket) May or may not have shrink-wrap but the jacket itself will still be in beautiful condition. The corners will have minimal wear (no fraying). There may be minor dents and creases. Light scratches could be on the jacket, but nothing severe that defaces the artwork. Depending on age some discolor/yellowing may show, but will not be overbearing.  Ring wear should be minimal ( at the top and bottom pressure points) or non-existent...no dark, full, half, or quarter rings. No writing rips or tears. No bubbling, water stains or peeling of the cover . All inner gate-folds will be in similar condition. 

(LP) You should not hear any sustained surface noise (snaps,crackles, pops) when you play the record. There will not be any skips or repeats. There may be a few surface blemishes, or a stray light scratch that may cause a moment of crackling, but nothing prolonged, and instances of this will be few. Often this will mostly occur only at the beginning of the groove on each side where the needle dropped. There will not be any significant warping. There will be no deep scratches. There may be minor spotting or fog (bag rash), but it will not affect the sound. The label will be free of writing and stains. Minimal spindle marks only. 

Very Good Plus (VG+) 

(Jacket) May or may not have shrink wrap.  In this category it will be easier to see imperfections with the naked eye. though nothing that will detract from the overall appearance in a major way. The corners will have some wear and there may be the beginnings of fraying but not full on.  Some dents/creases or scratches may be noticeable, but nothing overly pronounced. There could be SOME noticeable discolor/yellowing on lighter parts of cover.  There may be some minor ring wear at the top and bottom, a bit more pronounced than NM-  but no full or half rings. There could be some pen marks but it would be minimal. Possibly some light bubbling.  No water/mold stains or tearing of the cover in any way. 

(LP) There may be some blemishes, maybe a few light scratches. It will not cause the record to skip or repeat. There will be no prolonged crackling or surface noise. There may be some minor warping but it will have no affect on the listening experience at all (and it will be noted in that instance). Chances are there will be some lighter spindle marks. A VG+ record will show some signs that it was played and handled by the previous owner BUT he or she took care of it. 

Very Good (VG/VG-) 

(Jacket) This jacket will have easily noticeable imperfections. The corners could show heavier wear and some fraying.  The jacket may have seam splits that may or may not have been taped. Ring wear will be noticeable to the naked eye, and may travel the length of the jacket.  There could be some writing (names, initials, notations next to songs) but no out an out defacing of the images on the cover. There could be some bubbling, some small tears
