THE ROLLING STONES
TATTOO YOU
ROLLING STONES Records COC-16052 (1981)
The vinyl here on 'TATTOO YOU' is just beautiful. Visually clean & shiny with few signs of any imperfections.
Recently tested with no playback issues, actually rocks!
GOLDMINE standards at EX+, and I agree.
This pre-owned LP comes in a cardboard sleeve, fully intact & just about as nice. It may show some age related wear (edge & handling), but here it's minimal. This LP comes with a specialized inner sleeve that is equally in EX condition. The vinyl will come with a second inner sleeve in order to preserve the original. All will be packaged with a clear outer sleeve for further protection
NO stickers NO writing NO seam splits
GOLDMINE standards at EX+
VINYL: M = Perfect, NM = played, handled but super shiny & looks close to 'M', NM- = Light signs of being played & handled but close to 'NM', EX++ - Still shiny with light scuff or turntable wear, does not affect play, EX+ - Still shiny with a few more imperfections
SLEEVE: M = Perfect, NM = Opened but still looks close to 'M', NM- still beautiful outer package, just a bit more visual use. EX++ = Signs of ring, age related wear, possibly some discoloration, EX+ = More ring & wear, more discoloration
GOLDMINE is a grading system, wonderful for vinyl. I refer to it, but use my eyes, ears & experience as an additional tool. I grade as if I'm buying for myself! It does not refer to a HAZE, but I see it on some older records. typically does not affect playback.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grading these 'pre-owned' records is based on various grading standards, to include my 60 year romance with buying & caring for records. Do not expect NEW vinyl, expect quality. I listen to many but others I use my eyes & common sense to determine its quality. "A New record could skip yet a scuff record could play through beautifully". With LPs, the outer sleeves are cardboard & have been used so imperfections are to be expected. NOTE; Lesser turntables may lead to inconsistent playback, better turntables lead to clearer sound.
I will not offer any vinyl that pops or skips unless it is mentioned in the listing.
