ELO NEW WORLD RECORD 1976 LP Cover EX Vinyl EX-VG+

I use a grading system based on the Goldmine Grading Standard.

I am not an expert grader.  I believe that this United Artists LP can be fairly considered as EX or at the very least VG+.  The cover has No ring wear and still bears a nice sheen.  I am the original owner and purchased this album new when it was initially released.  The album has always been protected in a vinyl album cover which I will include. This album comes from my own personal remaining 200 + record collection which I am now beginning to sell off.  I don't want them to end up in a garage sale after I'm gone!

I only accept PAYPAL. If you do not intend to pay for an item, DO NOT BID ON IT.

If you have any additional questions regarding an LP or shipping, PLEASE ask before bidding. I will get back to you promptly. Please be considerate and leave feedback in a timely manner upon receipt and inspection of your LP. Prior to leaving negative feedback, please contact me if you are not happy with your purchase. I will do everything possible to resolve any issues mutually. Your transaction is not complete until I receive your feedback to insure we are all satisfied. I will only leave feedback when I am sure you are 100% satisfied with your purchase.

I assign a FLAT SHIPPING RATE which covers the cost of the LP shipping box, packing material, and USPS Media Mail postage.  The shipping box can accommodate from 3 – 5 albums depending on whether single disk, gate fold, or multiple disk albums.  Therefore I can combine shipping for multiple purchases. I SHIP NEXT DAY following receipt and payment verification.

                            Goldmine Grading Standard

Still Sealed (SS) = a new record, sealed in its original shrink wrap.

Near Mint (NM) Vinyl is near perfect. It is Very likely unplayed. At most, a light scuff appears on the record, but it should play without any noise or skips. The record sleeve should also be near perfect with only minor signs of wear. There should be no "ring wear" on the cover. (Ring wear is when the outline of the record inside shows through the sleeve.)

Excellent (EX) Vinyl should still play with no skips of any kind. There can be some very minor surface scuffs, but they should not affect the sound quality. The record sleeve can have some minor ring wear but it should be mostly in good shape. Also, there can be some minor creases in the corners but no splits in the seams.

Very Good+ (VG+) This is the grading category where the quality of the sound is affected -- there will be some surface noise -- and the vinyl will show wear, including surface scuffs and some light scratches. However, the record is still very listenable as there are no deep scratches that cause skips. On the cover, the corners may be slightly bent, but not broken. There may be wear to the seams but not tears or holes.
