A Short Note About LP GRADING -

  • Mint {M} = Only used for sealed items.
  • Near Mint {NM} = Virtually as new, just not sealed.
  • Near Mint Minus {NM-} = Item has some minor imperfections, some audible.
  • Excellent {EXC} = Item obviously played and enjoyed with some noise.
  • Very Good Plus {VG+} = Many more imperfections which are noticeable and obtrusive.

Always properly clean your LPs before playing them - even brand new, sealed titles!

The LP is an audiophile quality pressing (any collector of fine MFSL, half speeds, direct to discs, Japanese/UK pressings etc., can attest to the difference a quality pressing can make to an audio system).

Do not let this rarity slip by!
