The Beach Boys - Keepin' The Summer Alive - 1980 Caribou, VG+/VG+

1980 LP US Press. Cover is very nice, vinyl is very nice and visually grades very close to EX. Will play beautifully and sound superb. The album features tracks like "Keepin' the Summer Alive" and "Livin' with a Heartache," though it did not yield significant chart hits in the US. Marking a period of transition, it was the Beach Boys' second album released after the departure of Dennis Wilson from active participation.

SEALED VINTAGE RECORDS: Sealed vintage records may not be returned after unsealed. If you unseal a vintage record you are rolling the dice and accepting the results. We cannot guarantee the condition of a decades old record and many understand this in our hobby. If something looks off prior to unsealing it then please reach out to us for a return and don't take the chance of unsealing it.

OUR RECORD MEDIA GRADING:

Mint (M) and Near Mint (NM): Just unsealed or never played. Label and media look absolutely superb.
Excellent (EX): Spectacular in appearance. Nothing really worth mentioning. Gorgeous record. Collector grade.
Very Good Plus (VG+): This grade is close enough to pristine to meet the high standard of most discerning collectors and audiophiles but for whatever reason it did not meet the EX cutoff. At arms length usually appears pristine and beautifully at arms length, maybe a light scuff or mark here or there but it should be a beautiful record. Many would mistake these for EX or Mint in normal lighting. Many are collector grade still when on the mid to upper VG+ range.
Very Good (VG): These are usually downgraded from VG+ due to a couple of hairlines or visual imperfections that wouldn't be passable on a VG+ record. Often times it's just cosmetic and they just didn't make the VG+ cutoff and the record will still play and look great.
G+ or Very Good Minus (VG-): Didn't make the VG cutoff, surface noise can be present but usually no skips. These will not be "trashed" records but they are not pretty by any means and will be very affordable. They are usually just not quite VG, normally from too many micro scratches or hairlines and we will do our best to describe. These should still be safe to play but may have pops or white noise between tracks. Occasionally you'll find a skip but not usually.
