THE WORD "AUDIOMATRIX IS STAMPED INTO BOTH SIDES AS WELL. THIS IS THE TRUE 1ST PRESSING VISUALLY, THE THICK VINYL DISC IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I HAVE EXAMINED THIS UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND DO SEE MANY EXTREMELY LIGHT SCUFFS/HAIRLINE SCRATCHES (MOSTLY OF THE SWIRLY VARIETY). NONE OF WHICH WERE DEEP ENOUGH TO BE "FEEL-ABLE" NOR DID THEY SERIOUSLY EFFECT THE OUTSTANDING LISTENING EXPERIENCE! PLEASE NOTE THESE LABEL PICS ARE BLOWN UP TO 2X THE ACTUAL SIZE! ANY IMPERFECTIONS APPEAR TWICE AS BAD AS THEY ACTUALLY ARE!! PLEASE NOTE THE CENTER HOLE IS NOT MISSHAPED! WHAT YOU SEE IS A FACTORY IMPERFECTION WHERE THE BLACK DOT WHICH EVENTUALLY GETS PUNCHED OUT WAS OUT OF LOCATION! BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS I FEEL THE VINYL GRADES AS EX-. THE COVER LOOKS AWESOME AND GRADES EX+ THERE IS NO SPLITTING, TAPE, WRITING OR STICKERS ANYWHERE! THE SEAMS ARE TIGHT AND THE SPINE IS STRONG. THERE ARE SOME MINOR DINGS/CREASES/SOILING AS SHOWN. THE LINER NOTES WERE EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE AND PERFECTLY READABLE & CLEAN. THERE IS LITTLE TO NO EVIDENCE OF ANY RING WEAR ON EITHER SIDE! THE COVER STILL HAS MOST OF IT'S ORIGINAL GLOSS. LIGHT SOILING AND STICKER PEEL ON REVERSE SIDE. BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS I FEEL THAT THE COVER GRADES AS EX++ AND PRESENTS VERY VERY WELL! I HAVE PLAY GRADED THIS AND THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS OUTSTANDING! THERE WAS SOME MINOR NOISE UNDERNEATH THE MUSIC HERE AND THERE, MOSTLY NOTICEABLE BETWEEN TRACKS. CERTAINLY NOTHING I WOULD SAY WAS DISTRACTING IN ANYWAY. THERE WERE NO SKIPS, STICKS, DISTRACTING POPS, HISSES, CLICKS,TICKS OR BURPS! I FEEL THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS VERY ENJOYABLE AND GRADES EX++ OVERALL THIS CLASSIC LP GRADES A SOLID EX! WE USE GOLDMINE AS GUIDELINE FOR OUR GRADING SYSTEM. ALL RECORDS ARE VISUALLY INSPECTED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. I TRY TO PLAY GRADE WHEN POSSIBLE OR AT LEAST IN ANY AREAS IDENTIFIED AS QUESTIONABLE FROM THE VISUAL INSPECTION. MINT Mint records are in most cases sealed in original shrink wrap. The only wear permissible is to the shrink wrap itself. NEAR-MINT NM records have glossy vinyl. There are no visible defects such as writing, tape, or stickers on the labels. The labels should not contain any spindle marks (from someone blindly trying to put the record on the turntable) The vinyl may have a few extremely fine hairline scratches or light scuffs that do not affect the sound quality. The vinyl will "appear" to have been unplayed (It may very well have been played and well-cared for) The album cover will have NO writing, tape, creases, folds, seam splits ,stains, ring wear or Promo holes or cuts! VG+ (EXCELLENT) VG+ records have glossy vinyl. Slight signs of wear, including light scuffs, very light scratches or slight warping that does not seriously affect the listening experience is permissible. Very slight intermittent background noise mostly in the quiet passages is acceptable. The album cover will have no more than three of the following imperfections: light writing such as initials or name in one area, minor creasing, seam splits not larger than 1". Neatly taped seams of 2" or less. It may also contain very slight ring wear or discoloration, a promo stamp, punch hole or cut-out as originally sold. VG VG Records have more obvious flaws such as more pronounced scratches & lack of gloss. Groove wear and scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail are common. When played there will be surface noise but it should not continuously overpower the music. There are NO skips permissible with no more than 1.5 grahams of tracking force. It is common to hear crackling and pops especially in the quiet passages. The labels may contain writing such as a persons name or initials or it may contain a piece of tape or sticker with or without writing. The cover may have some seam splits, writing, tape, stickers, ring wear and scuffs. VG- VG- All of the defects listed VG category would be more pronounced. The record will play through without skipping WITH NORMAL tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. The record will have many obvious flaws but still enjoyable to listen to. Generally if the record is rare, it is still highly collectible. G/G+ Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping WITH NORMAL tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. It will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. ***There are many items priced to "BUY IT NOW" in my store!!!!*** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ***BUY THIS NOW BEFORE IT'S GONE FOEVER!!!!!!*** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PLEASE REMEMBER TO CHECK OUT MY OTHER ITEMS I HAVE UP FOR SALE!!
