Description
THE VELVET UNDERGROUND AND NICO
ON VERVE V6-5008, ORIGINAL UNPEELED BANANA PERFECTLY INTACT.
THE VINYL ITSELF HAS A VERY STRONG, NICE SHINE/GLOSS TO IT...LOOKS UNPLAYED. THE COVER IS IN WONDERFUL SHAPE, AS DEPICTED IN THE PHOTO.
SOME PEOPLE DEBATE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT A VINYL RECORD CAN BE MINT IF IT IS NOT STILL SEALED. I VERY RARELY GRADE A RECORD AS MINT WHEN IT IS UNSEALED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE OR ACTUAL FLAWS WITH THIS RECORD. IT IS A VERY RARE RECORD AND VERY HARD TO FIND ONE IN THIS CONDITION. FOR DIE-HARD ENTHUSIASTS WHO SAY A RECORD CANNOT BE MINT IF IT IS OPENED, THEN CONSIDER THIS NM, I DO NOT WANT ANYONE DISAPOINTED. I DISPLAY THE SYSTEM I USE TO GRADE RECORDS ON EVERY POSTING ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.
***PLEASE BID WITH CONFIDENCE. I HAVE BEEN A MEMBER OF E-BAY SINCE 2007 AND HAVE ONLY RECEIVED ONE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK IN THAT TIME. THAT WAS A CASE WHERE AN INDIVIDUAL SAID THE RECORD ARRIVED DEMOLISHED IN THE MAIL YET REFUSED TO MAIL IT BACK TO ME OR SEND ME A PICTURE OF THE RECORD. HE JUST WANTED HIS MONEY BACK AND TO KEEP THE RECORD OR GET MORE RECORDS OUT OF ME. HE OPENED A CASE WITH E-BAY AND IMMEDIATELY WITHDREW IT. REGARDLESS, OUR FEEDBACK SHOULD BE MUCH HIGHER THAN 98.5% (WOULD BE 100% WITHOUT THAT INCIDENT. HE ACTUALLY STATED HE WAS NOT LEAVING NEGATIVE FEEDBACK, BUT DID ANYWAY). REST ASSURED I WILL DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A MORE THAN PLEASANT BUYING EXPERIENCE. MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMING TO ME FOR MANY YEARS FOR THEIR RECORDS.***

I will always do my best to describe the condition of a record, but as most of you know grading vinyl is up for interpretation (with the exception of sealed records) and opinions can vary from person to person. Below is the system I will be using to grade the record(s). By all means, if you have a question, please ask. No returns. Please check out my other auctions, as I will be parting with some other great treasures. Happy bidding, thanks for looking and long live vinyl!
Mint (M)
(SS) Still sealed, unopened.
Basically means that it is as good as new, literally. The vinyl has to look new and sound as though it was never played, and the cover has to look basically untouched.
Near Mint (NM)
Vinyl is near perfect. At most, a light scuff appears on the record, but it should play without any noise or skips. The record sleeve should also be near perfect with only minor signs of wear. There should be no outline sleeve.
Excellent (EX or VG++)
Vinyl should still play with no skips of any kind. There can be some very minor surface scuffs, but they should not affect the sound quality. The record sleeve can have some minor ring wear but it should be mostly in good shape. Also, there can be some minor creases in the corners but no splits in the seams.
Very Good+
(VG+)
This is the grading category where the quality of the sound is affected -- there will be some surface noise -- and the vinyl will show wear, including surface scuffs and some light scratches. However, the record is still very listenable as there are no deep scratches that cause skips. On the cover, the corners may be slightly bent, but not broken. There may be wear to the seams but not tears or holes.
Very Good
(VG)
Vinyl doesn't necessarily look good, but still plays well enough. Surface noise will probably be present, including pops and clicks. At higher volume levels, the music should overpower any pops and clicks present. There may be seam splitting, but not complete separation of the sleeve panels from each other. There will be noticeable ring wear on the cover, but the cover should for the most part still be in good condition.
Good (VG-)
Vinyl is well played and looks it. However, the record should still play without skipping. It will have substantial surface noise, pops and clicks. Loss of various parts of the dynamic range will occur due to worn grooves. This grade depends a lot on the owner and the type of records he or she collects. A rock record may still sound ok at a high volume, but quieter styles of music may be practically unlistenable. The record cover may have many problems including seam splits, tears, and writing on it.
Fair/Poor (F/P)
Records described as fair (F) or Poor (P) are ones that are basically unlistenable. Surface noise, skips and pops make hearing what's on the record nearly impossible, if not completely impossible. The cover is falling apart, torn, and has writing all over it. The only reason to keep it would be if the record is extremely rare. Otherwise, it’s a frisbee or you can melt it down and make a nice ashtray or flower pot, if that’s your thing.
