BTW, this online auction site is a pretty lousy corporation - they gouge sellers and hit em with a bunch of uncessary fees - making sellers have to price items higher than they should be.  They police conversations in order to prevent being left out of sales, etc, when we’re already paying to sell here anyway.  If you like rare records / oddities like this - check out rarerecords4sale on IG ;)

BIDDERS - PLEASE READ THE BELOW 

I grade my LPs VERY conservatively and accurately under a bright light.  A description of the grading scale is below:

M: MINT - perfect.  vinyl is pristine / cover is flawless and/or sealed

M- : just under mint.  a very, very slight amount of wear on the cover or inaudible wear on the vinyl (surface wear from age, generally) but is otherwise flawless

VG+: vinyl / cover shows signs minor signs age or wear that are more or less undistinct / inaudible.

VG: vinyl / cover shows some visible wear / age but is overall in very good shape.  pops and clicks may be ever so slightly noticeable, but don't effect play or overall listening experience.

VG-: vinyl / cover shows some relatively apparent age but is in overall good shape and still a fine copy to own / play.  

G+: vinyl shows some heavy wear but overall sounds decent.  cover has some flaws or shows much age

G: vinyl is in pretty rough shape visibly but plays ok.  cover shows a lot of age or has some major splits or tears.  

G-: vinyl looks / sounds pretty rough.  cover has major condition issues such as water damage, large rips, etc

*a double "+" or "-" indicates that the condition is just above or below the neighboring grade
