Vinyl: GOVERNMENT ISSUE Legless Bull EP 1st DISCHORD + LYRIC INSERT DC Hardcore HEAR!

THIS RECORD WAS CLEANED WITH A NITTY GRITTY RECORD VACUUM.

Record: VG+ (Moderate scuffing and something that causes 3 ticks during "Asshole" - some might visually grade VG, but definitely plays VG+, with just the one momentary distraction; otherwise plays clean - CHECK OUT SOUND)

PS: Strong VG (Couple of stains; creases; no tears)

Lyric Insert: VG+ (pin holes in all four corners and original creases from being folded into record sleeve)

This is the first sleeve, limited to 1000, which includes the Y&T address and no overwriting.

Please check my other listings; I try to offer numerous records in the same genres at the same time. All records I sell are first cleaned and then strictly and conservatively Goldmine graded (see below). Portion of record not in photo is protected by poly-lined sleeve. I have collected, traded and sold records for 40 years and all records are, of course, guaranteed. All records are mailed in a brand new heavy duty Bags Unlimited cardboard box mailer with appropriate insulation, poly-lined paper sleeves for the records and a plastic slip cover for the jacket. Record and jacket are separated for storage and mailing.

GRADING

Goldmine grading is different from UK Record Collector Grading in that there is no Excellent grade. The grades are M, M-, Vg+, Vg, G and P. I AM ASTOUNDED BY HOW POORLY MANY DEALERS GRADE. I HAVE SEEN RECORDS GRADED VG+ WITH THE EXPLANATION THAT THERE IS ONE LONG SCRATCH ON A SIDE. A RECORD WITH A LONG SCRATCH IS NOT VG+. I HAVE SEEN RECORDS GRADED M- DESCRIBED AS HAVING A FEW LIGHT SCRATCHES. M- RECORDS DO NOT HAVE ANY SCRATCHES! AS A BUYER, I HAVE OFTEN BEEN DISAPPOINTED BY INFLATED GRADING. YOU WILL NOT BE WHEN BUYING FROM ME. MY FEEDBACK REFLECTS THAT I MEET AND OFTEN EXCEED EXPECTATIONS OF RECORD QUALITY. SO DO NOT LET MY GRADES AND YOUR PAST EXPERIENCE FOOL YOU. I GRADE CONSERVATIVELY AND I DESCRIBE ALL DEFECTS. Here is Goldmine's (AND MY) explanation of the grades

Mint (M)

Absolutely perfect in every way - certainly never played, possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade if at all. Only a truly flawless record will earn this grade from me.

Near Mint (M-)

A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this, implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A few barely visible and certainly inaudible paper scuffs is the most wear that would merit this grade. I use this grade for records that look unplayed save for one to three non-feelable and barely visible under bright light paper scuffs. An LP jacket should have no creases, folds, seam splits, or any other noticeable similar defect. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sheets and the like. Basically, an LP in Near Mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a retail record store and removed the shrink wrap.

Very Good Plus Plus (VG++)

This grade is between M- and VG+, and is a record with minimal paper scuffing (up to six hairline paper scuffs) but nothing even remotely approaching a feelable mark. A jacket graded VG++ might have minimal ringwear or be M- with a bit of sticker residue, but it would certainly have nothing even approaching a tear or split. All defects are noted for this and any grade below M-.

Very Good Plus (Vg+)

A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces will have minor to moderate scuffs and no feelable marks, or be M- save for one or two very shallow, small and discrete scratches. All such defects will be described. So I will give this grade for minor to moderate scuffing with no feelable marks, or a record that has very minor and presumptively inaudible paper scuffing and one or two small, very shallow scratches - identified in parenthetical following grade if applicable. Slight warps that do not affect sound are OK. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. LP inner sleeves will have some slight ring wear, lightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP jacket may also have slight signs of wear and may be marred by cut out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at discount. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.

Very Good(Vg)

Many of the defects found in a Vg+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Light but non-distracting surface noise may be occasionally noticeable upon playing, especially during soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. This may be caused by a few isolated incidents of groove wear, or light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail but by no means deep gauges that would cause skips) that will affect the sound. I give this grade for heavy paper scuffing, or minor to moderate paper scuffing and a few shallow but feelable and presumably audible scratches OR a few small patches of groove wear. Any more than a few discrete feelable but not too deep scratches OR a few bits of shallow groove wear drops it below this grade. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.
