Description
VINYL CONDITION: VG- (Some heat damage that causes noise throughout. Not overwhelming - but certainly not an audiophile copy. Very listenable.)
COVER CONDITION: VG- (Ring wear. Corner wear. Edge wear. Stickers on front cover as shown in photos. Timing strip sticker on back cover. 6" split on bottom seam. 2" split on top seam.)
NOTES: 1970s US pressing.
Records are graded using the Goldmine system, shown below for reference:
Sealed: Jacket sealed in shrink wrap or other original packaging. The vinyl in this case is sold as-is or not graded.
NM (Near Mint): No visible defects. No writing, stickers, spindle marks, or any other imperfections on label. Appears unplayed and unhandled.
VG++: May have some light wear including sleeve scuffs or other superficial marks that will not affect play.
VG+: Will have some light wear that may include sleeve scuffs, very light scratches, or other superficial marks.
VG: Similar imperfections to a VG+ record, but they're either more pronounced, or there is a higher number of imperfections.
VG-: Many light scratches or scuffs. Any record with an isolated defect such as a single scratch that can be felt with a fingernail will have a VG- grade or lower. The record will not skip but some noise is expected.
G: Many imperfections, including but not limited to scratches that can be felt with a fingernail. A lot of background noise, clicks, and pops should be expected with this grade.
