Item History & Price
I offer a combined shipping discount for multiple LP's. Please select "REQUEST TOTAL" before paying and I will send you an invoice with a cost calculated for combined shipping.
Buy with confidence- I care about records:I take great care with my vinyl and do a thorough cleaning using an archival-quality cleaning and rinse with lab-grade purified water- nothing harsh on my records. I clean on a device I designed and built myself and the results are... as good as any of the high-end RCM's costing thousands of dollars more. I use a strong halogen side light sometimes looking at small marks with a strong hand-held lens inspect them before assigning a visual grade. Most Importantly- I also take the time to play-grade the record on my system (Technics SL1200 with an Ortofon Blue cartridge) to establish the fidelity of the recording and pressing as well as the condition of the LP. This helps to ensure that the description of the record will match the play experience you have on your own system.
John Lennon / Yoko Ono "Wedding Album"
Partial set. Very good release on the Apple label label. The cover of this box set is mostly destroyed. The inserts shown are excellent. The LP is in VG+ visual and VG+ play condition.
Condition and Audio Quality:The LP has been visually inspected and play graded. Both sides look very clean but I always recommend a good cleaning for older records, even in this fine condition, to remove any inner sleeve fibers that may have accumulated over the years.
Side 1 (etched: X2 Scranton): VG+ play. VG+ visual. Very clean. Some hazy inner sleeve ghost spots and a few inner sleeve hairlines. Plays VG+ or better depending on where you are. A little light running static and a few tics in spots. Side 2 (etched: X2 Scranton): VG+ play. VG+ visual. Very clean. A few light hazy scuff lines and two light needle scratches. Plays VG+ or better depending on where you are. A little light running static and a few tics in spots. The scratches just make a few light tics.
The jacket/cover is in poor condition. The flaps are gone. I saved the cover because it has a marriage certificate on the backside.The inner jacket is NM. Perfect. Shiny and flat gatefold with no flaws. The inserts are NM-. They look nearly perfect. I am not sure If I have all of them- do your home work on this before buying.

Record and Jacket Grading StandardsI 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 sonic enjoyment of a record, especially at the higher quality 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 be verified 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 marks or other indications that it has been handled or played. The jacket will 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. May play with some very light and occasional dust or static related light noise that is only heard in the quietest passages. The vinyl and label surfaces show 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. No punch holes or other discount marks. Very minimal corner 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 light hairlines 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 discount cuts or sales stickers, which will be noted. Artist signatures and minimal owner 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 slight paper 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, tic or 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 have more flaws but it is still a keeper. Surface noise is evident upon playing but does not overpower the music. Groove wear will be audible along with occasional pops and tics but 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.
