Buy with confidence- I care about records:
I take great care with my used vinyl and do a thorough cleaning using anarchival-quality approach and rinse with lab-grade purified water- nothing harsh on my records.I clean on an Audio Desk Ultrasonic and Scrubbing record cleaning device. I use a strong halogen side light and my years of record playing experience to assign a visual grade that should match the play grade. I usually use a strong set of lenses to examine suspicious marks when grading.
This record is sealed and was not opened.

Year Sealed item disclaimer:
Unlike recently manufactured \'new\'-productwhich is sold sealed with the expectation that the customer will surely open and use, vintage items under old, original factory seal are vintage artifacts. As such, Voice of Vinyl offers vintage sealed LP\'s in either of two ways according to the preference of the buyer: 1. the item may be sold \'as-sealed\' with the expectation that the buyer intends to keep the item sealed. In such cases,I guarantee that the seal is original and authentic. If the buyer doesn\'t agree upon receipt that the seal is authentic, they may return the album in the same condition (still sealed) for full refund, or, 2. if the buyer wishes the condition and correctness of contents guaranteed, then they may askme to open the LP and inspect it before shipping. If there is any problem visible to me, we will let the buyer know and give them the option to be refunded and cancel the sale. Thanks for understanding that guaranteeing transactions involving vintage sealed items is more complicated than that for an open product or new sealed will be in bubble wrap and padded with cardboard stiffeners. Shipped in pro-quality #200 LP record mailer.

Record and JacketGrading Standards
I have been very unhappy with the variation in grading I see between record sellers. While all grading seems to reference the Goldmine grading standards, there are subtle variations in a condition that can make a big difference in the sonicenjoyment ofa record, especially at the higherquality end of the grading spectrum. As such, I have created my own grading standards for records and jackets that points out these finer differences.
(SS)Still Sealed: \"Still Sealed\" is a grade I am reserving for factory-sealed records that have never been opened. This grade assumes the disc inside is undamaged and in \"Mint\" condition but this cannot beverified until the disc is opened and examined. The jacket will have its original shrink wrap.
(M)Mint:\"Mint \" is a grade I am reserving for a perfect record. There are no scratches, scuffs,hairlines, fingerprints, spindle marksor other indications that it has beenhandled or played. The jacketwill have its original shrink which is opened. The are no corner bumps, scratches, marks, creases or other signs of jacket wear.
(M-)Mint Minus:A \"Mint Minus\" record may have one very light paper scuff but no hairlines or other surface scratches. It looks clean and unplayed.I may also use a \"Mint Minus\" to grade a sealed record that has corner bumps or tears in the shrink wrap.
(NM)Near Mint:\"Near Mint\" is a record that is virtually flawless, clean and glossy. A near perfect, rarely-played record. Mayplay withsome very light and occasional dust or static related light noisethat is only heard in the quietest passages.Thevinyl and label surfacesshow no obvious sign of wear. It looks clean with the factory shine and there may be a very light, barely visible paper scuff or two and a few light hairlines but no scratches. An LP jacket has no seam splits or any other obvious signs of wear but one or two light creases are acceptable. Ring wear should be almost invisible. Nopunch holes or other discount marks.Very minimalcorner bumps. Artist signatures are the only acceptable forms of handwriting for this grade. Basically, \"Near Mint\" looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.
(NM-)Near Mint Minus: Same as above, yet shows a few very lighthairlines which have no effect on the sonic quality. The record will have its factory gloss and ?rainbow luster?and only light spindle marks. Ring wear is minimal but starting to show lightly at the top and bottom. The jacket may have discountcuts or sales stickers, which will be noted. Artist signatures andminimalowner marks are the only acceptable forms of handwriting for this grade.
(VG++)Very Good Plus Plus:Shows some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show signs of use and may have slightpaper scuffs or very light surface scratches that only reveal themselves in the quietest of passages and don\'t detract from the overall sonic quality. Most factory shine is still present. Slight edge warps that do not affect the tracking or sound quality are OK and will be noted. An LP jacket may have some signs of ring wear and shelf wear and a small corner bump or two these are minimal and acceptable for this grade. A small seam split is also acceptable and will be noted. Light owner signatures, DJ marks and other forms of handwriting are acceptable for this grade. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be a showcase piece. All but the most discriminating collectors will find a ?Very Good Plus? record highly acceptable.
(VG+)Very Good Plus:Many of the defects found in a VG++ record are more pronounced in a VG+ disc but it is still a keeper. Surface noise is evident upon playing, but does not overwhelm the music. Groove wear will start to be audible and a random click, ticor soft pop may be evident but will not detract from the enjoyment of the recorded material. The jacket may have a seam split or ring wear and labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. A small light stain or some discoloring may be evident. The cover may exhibit a combination of these flaws but they will not overwhelm the piece.
(VG)Very Good:A VG disc will havemore flaws but it is still akeeper. Surface noise is evident upon playing but does not overpower the music. Groove wear will be audiblealong with occasional pops and ticsbut there are no skips. The jacket may have a significant seam split and the spine may be seriously flaked. Labels and jackets may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. A small light stain or some discoloring may be evident. The cover may exhibit a combination of these flaws but they will not overwhelm the piece.
(G+)Good Plus, (G)Good:?Good? means acceptable?not completely roached. The grade I usually reserve for listing the rarest of records. A record in ?Good? condition can be put onto a turntable and will play but it will it will have significant audible surface noise. A jacket or sleeve has larger seam splits and there may be significant water stains.Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
Special Note:
(+)Plus:An extra \"plus\"may be added occasionally to a grade to highlight the finer points of some better grades.
