VINYL & COLLECTOR NOTES

Straight Shooter is a classic Bad Company LP and a strong addition for collectors of 1970s rock, vintage vinyl, and Swan Song Records releases. This copy is listed in Excellent Used Condition, with the main visible condition note being very minor wear on the corners and edges of the sleeve.

The sleeve condition is important for collectors, and any corner or edge wear should be reviewed in the listing photos. The noted wear appears minor overall, but buyers who are especially particular about jacket condition, pressing details, or collector-grade presentation should review all images closely before purchase.

Because this is a vintage pre-owned record, buyers should expect some degree of normal age, handling, and storage signs. These can include light paper wear, minor surface marks, dust, static, edge wear, corner wear, sleeve handling marks, or other small cosmetic imperfections typical of a record from this era.

Unless specifically stated as fully playback tested, the vinyl should be considered visually inspected rather than fully play-tested from start to finish. Playback quality can vary depending on turntable setup, stylus condition, tracking force, cartridge alignment, record cleaning, and speaker equipment.

SOURCING & CONDITION DISCLOSURE

Items are sourced from a wide range of channels including retail stores, liquidation lots, overstock inventory, estate sales, auctions, thrift stores, warehouse buyouts, and secondary markets. Because of this, even items that appear new, unused, or like new may exhibit minor cosmetic imperfections or signs of handling. These can include, but are not limited to: light surface marks, scuffs, faint scratches, minor dust or residue from storage, shelf wear, packaging wear, sticker residue, label markings, writing, or slight discoloration from age or environmental exposure.

Packaging may be opened, distressed, missing, or replaced, especially in cases of used, open-box, inspected, repackaged, liquidation, estate, or secondary market inventory. Items may have been previously handled for inspection, photography, testing, storage, display, transport, resale, or prior personal use. In some instances, original sleeves, inserts, posters, shrink wrap, hype stickers, lyric sheets, download cards, or packaging components may vary unless explicitly stated as complete.

For vinyl records, LPs, jackets, sleeves, labels, and collectible physical media, condition may include signs of prior handling, surface marks, light scratches, dust, static, paper scuffs, spindle marks, jacket wear, corner wear, edge wear, seam wear, ring wear, writing, sticker residue, discoloration, sleeve marks, or other cosmetic imperfections. Vinyl records are not professionally graded unless specifically stated. Any grading provided is based on visible condition and general resale grading standards.

Playback quality can vary depending on the buyer’s turntable, stylus, cartridge, tracking force, speaker setup, cleaning method, and overall equipment condition. Unless specifically stated as fully playback tested, records are visually inspected and described based on visible condition.

All items are stored in a clean, smoke-free environment after sourcing; however, due to the nature of secondary market sourcing, prior storage conditions are not always fully known. While every effort is made to accurately inspect, document, and disclose condition, extremely minor imperfections that do not affect normal use or overall presentation may not always be individually noted.

Buyers should expect condition consistent with responsibly sourced secondary market inventory, especially for pre-owned vinyl records, vintage LPs, album jackets, classic rock records, collectible music media, and items photographed and described based on visible condition.
