Vinyl Condition: VG+/EX, there are a few very minor spindle marks and a couple of very light hairline marks. None of this is feelable. The disc plays great, with a few spots of very light crackle at a few points. Nothing that draws away from the sound quality. These don't seem to coincide with any visual blemishes. Disc retains great shine.   

Cover Condition: Plain white jacket in nice shape with "Mark Levinson" written on the top left. Two duplicate inserts intact explaining the recording process and equipment used. One is in great shape the other is folded and has a good sized tear.

Comments: Mega-rare audiophile reference recording LP by Mark Levinson. This is volume one. LP is part of the Pure Acoustic Master Tape Reference Recording Series. I believe there were only two volumes done. Music includes The Six Schubler Chorales by J.S. Bach played by Myrtle Regier and other Bach pieces.

How we visually grade our records:   

Mint (M): Album is still sealed in original shrinkwrap and has never been opened.

Near Mint (NM): Album has been opened and most likely played but is blemish free and as close to new as possible.

Excellent Plus (EX+) Album is very close to NM but may show more signs that it has been played.

Excellent (EX): Album does show the most minor signs of usage, nothing that would effect sound quality.

Very Good Plus (VG+): Album will show some signs of wear and may have some minor scratches or scuffs. These albums we will usually play to gauge the sound quality. If there are any issues we will post them.

Very Good (VG): Album has obvious signs of usage. There are most likely blemishes that will affect sound quality.

How we grade our covers :

Mint (M): Cover is still sealed in original shrinkwrap and has never been opened.

Near Mint (NM): Cover is in new condition and may still be in it’s shrinkwrap but has been opened.

Excellent (EX): Cover is in great shape but will show the most minor signs of usage. Small amounts of wear on the corners or seams are possible, but no writing or other blemishes.

Very Good Plus (VG+): Cover will shows signs that it was used. No seam splits or heavy wear, but corners and seams will show wear. There may be the possibility of a previous owners name written on the cover, stickers or bent corners, etc. Cover graphics may have flecking or show a ring from the record.

Very Good (VG): Cover will show heavy wear on seams and corners. Seam splits are possible. Cover graphics will be worn. Covers with heavy writing on them will earn this ranking.

Good (G): Cover is in poor shape. Generally we will not list albums with covers in this shape unless the album itself is in excellent shape and the cover is the only concern or if the album is extremely rare or valuable and there may still be interest in spite of condition.

Album and cover grading is not an exact science and is subject to the opinion of the grader. We strive to be as precise as possible. If you have any questions about our grading system or a particular item please don’t hesitate to contact us.
