ITEM OVERVIEW
This listing is for Journey – Frontiers on LP vinyl, released by Columbia Records in 1983. The record is offered with the vinyl graded VG+, with the main condition note being that there is a name written on the front of the cover, appearing to be written in ballpoint pen.
This is a pre-owned vinyl record and jacket. The vinyl is in VG+ condition, meaning it presents well overall with light signs of prior handling and normal use. The cover has visible writing on the front, along with normal cosmetic wear that may be expected from an original 1980s record jacket. Buyers who are sensitive to cover condition should review the photos carefully, especially the area with the handwritten name.
This is a good copy for fans of Journey, classic rock collectors, 1980s vinyl collectors, Columbia Records collectors, or anyone looking to add Frontiers to their record collection.
Please review all listing photographs carefully, as they are considered part of the item description and show the exact record, cover, label, front writing, back cover, edges, corners, sleeve condition, and overall appearance you will receive.

This copy of Journey – Frontiers is being sold as a collectible and playable physical media item. The vinyl is graded VG+, which generally indicates a record that has been handled and used but remains in strong overall condition for a pre-owned LP.
The primary disclosed cosmetic issue is the name written on the front cover. The writing appears to be done with a ballpoint pen and is visible on the jacket. This does not affect the vinyl itself, but it is important for buyers who care about jacket presentation, display condition, or collector-grade cover quality.
The record jacket may also show typical signs of age and storage. These may include minor corner wear, edge wear, surface marks, ring wear, shelf wear, paper wear, small creases, or other cosmetic imperfections common with vintage vinyl packaging.
The vinyl has not been professionally graded and should be reviewed in the listing photos. Unless specifically stated, playback has not been tested from start to finish. Buyers should expect condition consistent with a visually graded pre-owned vinyl record.
A solid addition for collectors of Journey, 1980s rock, classic rock, and Columbia Records LPs.
The VG+ vinyl condition makes this a practical option for buyers looking for a copy to enjoy on a turntable, assuming their equipment is properly set up.
The cover artwork makes it recognizable in a vinyl collection, though buyers should note the handwritten name on the front cover.
Useful for buyers who already own Journey records and want to complete or replace a copy of Frontiers.
As a 1983 LP release, this has the feel and presentation of an original-era physical music item rather than a modern digital format.

Ships within two business days via USPS or UPS. Items are professionally packed and stored in a smoke-free environment prior to shipment.
Vinyl record will be packed carefully to help protect the record, cover, corners, edges, and overall condition during transit.
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, collectible music media, and items photographed and described based on visible condition.
