This album is a Club Edition from BMG. R 100507 Album
- EX (Clean and glossy. When holding a bright light over the album I only saw a few small faint hairline scratches on Side 2. When testing I heard very light surface noise between some songs and leads). Sounds great! Jacket
- VG (The bottom edge and spine have a few very small light scuffs. The top edge has a 1" rougher scuff in the middle, not split. Corners have very light scuffs and small dings. There are quite a few spider creases on both sides). Still looks pretty good and sturdy! Inner Sleeve
- VG (Shows light handling wear and very light ring wear along with some light wrinkles. 2 edges have been taped by the previous owner. Assuming there were splits here). Overall looks good! Photos are of the actual item you
will get. Any major flaws should be visible in photos. If you would
like any photos not included, please ask. I am not a professional grader
but have an excellent ear for music. Anything listed in EX or better condition
I would have no problem keeping in my personal collection. Each album has been
played (spot tested) and cleaned. I
spend approx. 20 minutes listening to each album. I listen for surface noise on the lead,
intros, between songs, and softer passages.
I also play over any surface scratches and scuffs I see to make sure
there is no skipping or pops. If
anything, I under grade! Nothing like getting a record that is
listed as Near Mint or EX to have deep scratches all over it and skips when
played. When grading, my priority is sound, then surface marks/scratches. If it
sounds NM, but has several surface scratches that you cannot hear I will grade
it EX. When listing I also hold a bright
light up to both sides of the album to look for hairline scratches. I will list this in my descriptions. Each
jacket will be shipped in a new outer sleeve and each album in a new inner
sleeve. All albums shipped via USPS Media Mail in a
cardboard LP mailer outside of the jacket with cardboard on both sides for
protection. I will cover Free Media Mail shipping in the
USA. (Contact me for shipping rates outside of the US). If
you want shipped differently than Media Mail, you will need to contact me
before paying. I will only cover Media
Mail. You will be responsible for any taxes. All albums have been
kept in a smoke free environment in my possession. Please leave positive
feedback after your album has arrived and gets your approval. If for
any reason you are not satisfied, please contact me to resolve any issues
(partial refund) or a FREE money back return (you pay shipping). I
will do my best to describe any flaws seen or heard when grading this
album. Each album I list will be graded by Album, Jacket, and Inner
Sleeve (if available, no description then the original is missing). I set my prices based off what this album has
sold for over the last couple of months in this condition and the current
average asking prices. Quantity
available plays factor into pricing also. I do not have a high mark up when
listing. You should find my prices to be
very reasonable so please do not send low ball offers. These will automatically
be rejected so please do not be offended if you get no counter offer back. Send me a message if you have any
questions. I always try to take care of
repeat customers and anyone buying multiple items. Thank you for looking and enjoy your music! Shipping: 99% of my orders will ship the next day (orders coming in after 10AM on
Saturday or all day on Sunday will ship on Monday unless a Holiday, then on
Tuesday). Any orders received after 8PM
EST Sunday-Thursday will not be packed up until the next day when I get home
from work, then shipped the following day. Here is how I grade: MINT - To me, Mint is in perfect condition, so
it’s never been played or opened. I only have used vintage original
albums that are 30+ years old so I will not list anything as Mint. NEAR MINT -Looks and sounds like new. Near perfect
record with at most a few light hairline scratches or sleeve rubs with no clicks
or skips when played. May have a hint of surface noise. Inner sleeve
may have a small crease on corner, no fading, very, very light wear on
corner/edges, or no splits over a ½ inch. Jacket may have very light
edge/corner ware, no fading, or ring wear. EXCELLENT -Near perfect sounding record with very
few light scratches or sleeve rubs. May have very light surface noise when
played between songs or intro and a few very light clicks. Inner sleeve may
have small creases on corners, very light fading and ring wear, very light wear
on corner/edges, or small splits, but overall, in excellent
condition. Jacket may have very limited markings or very light ring
wear with corners/edges slightly scuffed/dinged. VERY GOOD -Record shows some signs of wear with
surface scuffs and light scratches, but surface noise/pops can mainly be heard
when playing in between songs, intros, or in soft spots. If slightly
warped I will leave details. The inner sleeve has some creases, light
tears, light ring wear, or has splits (some may have been
taped). Jacket shows some wear, light fading, light ring wear, or
small creases, but overall looks very good. GOOD -Record plays just fine but has some
surface noise and scratches or is slightly warped. May have a couple pops or
skips. The inner sleeve has multiple creases, tears, ring wear, or
splits on more than one side (some have been taped). Jacket is faded (but
readable), may have larger scuff marks, ring wear, corners bent, creases, or
some tearing. FAIR/POOR -No albums will be sold in this
condition. Only inner sleeve or cover may be in this condition. Please check out my other
albums, 45’s and CDs to see if there is anything else you like. Thank you
for looking!
