ABOUT: Used vintage vinyl record. Most of them were pressed in the analogue era of sound recording, 1950-1980s. A small portion of my records are new and sealed, and this is always referred to in the title. These vinyl record(s) have no cracks, warps, or any obvious defects. No marks or scuffs that could interfere with playability (except those that may be mentioned in the description above this chapter). I have checked them carefully. I have more than four decades of experience in collecting, so my selection of records and ratings are based on that. Most of my records have only very good sound. But in some rare sporadic cases of unique but poor records, they may have a little hiss and a few clicks. In conclusion, the condition of the record is far better than the cover, and you can see the actual condition in the last photo. The round label denotes the condition of the record, and the square represents the cover. If You do not see the grading labels ask me to take additional photos, and I will take them immediately because I re-photo actual stock weekly and have a "digital polish" of my inventory constantly.
