Description The Fantastic Plastic Machine - Dear Mr. Salesman - 12" Single1998 Emperor Norton / EMN 04-12 Hello, thanks for looking. I'm no expert on grading vinyl, i'll try my best to evaluate the condition of both the cover and the album. I'll use the grading scale below as a guide and i'll be very conservative with my evaluation. You are bidding on a used copy of "Dear Mr. Salesman" by the The Fantastic Plastic Machine. This record draws from several musical styles, including bossa nova, 1960s French pop, and electronica. This album is in excellent condition or better, details on condition below. Fantastic Plastic Machine ‎– Dear Mr. SalesmanLabel:Emperor Norton ‎– EMN 04-12Format:Vinyl, 12" Country:USReleased:11 Aug 1998Genre:ElectronicStyle:Future Jazz, Big BeatTracklistA1Dear Mr. Salesman (DJ Me DJ You Mix: Craig And Ross Of Sukia)Remix – DJ Me DJ YouA2Dear Mr. Salesman (Album Version)BPura Saudade (Nova Bossa Nova) (Optiganally Mix)Remix – Optiganally Yours CONDITION: Jacket: EX - NM / Vinyl: EX - NMThe Jacket / Sleeve: I'm hoping the pictures can speak for the grade, i'd say its a EX or Near Mint. Look at the photos this jacket is in top shape. The spine is in great shape and the print is very well centered and legible. Nothing to report. Inner Paper Sleeve: It's the original white paper record sleeve. The vinyl: EX or NM . The record looks great, Super clean. Looks like it wasn't played much at all... maybe 1 to 5 times. Label is perfect. This 12" looks new, but if you still have questions please message me. All records are shipped correctly in a 12 X 12 Record mailer, (with the record out of the jacket - to prevent damage to the jacket) and in a plastic dust cover, with extra cardboard and foam support. I do free combine shipping! So if you're think about buying a second or third album, I combine ship for free UP to 4 albums (2 Double LPs) total. After that I might need a second box (but if you wanna buy that many I'll pay for the second shipping cost) I have on occasion shipped over seas. I only do this on a case by case basis. So if you interested please message me before you bid and I will explain. Thanks for looking, please message me with any questions! Grading Scale:Mint (M): Perfect, unused in sealed original packaging.Near-Mint (NM): Close to perfect with no visible scratches or scuffs. Appears to be un-played or played less than 5 times.Excellent (EX): May contain 1 or 2 very tiny & light cosmetic surface scratches and/or scuffs. Label and jacket may show slight signs of ring-wear / lightly bent corners. No creases, writing, tears or rips.Very Good Plus (VG+): May show some signs that it was played and handled by a previous owner who took reasonably good care of it. Imperfections are cosmetic and do not drastically impact the playback. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs and surface scratches. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are ok. The label and jacket may have some slight ring ring-wear, discoloration, minor tears and imperfections. As with most vinyl, there may be low-level surface noise and light crackles and pops may be present, especially during quiet or soft passages in the track. Very Good (VG): Many of the imperfections found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG record or sleeve.Good (G) - It doesn't mean the record is "Trashed" but its definitely been played a lot. I'll mainly use this for jackets and inner sleeves (if the record is worth selling).Fair (F) Poor (P): I do not sell Poor (P), Fair (F). If I use these it's because the album is super rare. Disclaimer : I’m really new at selling on E-bay so please excuse my inexperience and lack of knowledge when it comes to collecting and selling vinyl. I do not grade LPs and I am not an expert on classification. Some of the vinyl I own, I bought in bulk at yard sales or estate sales. Ask Me Questions before bidding! Please understand, with some of the older vinyl I’m grading my LPs on a visual estimation. Keep that in mind, because if you bid or buy this album, i’m selling it as is. If you’re really interested in this record and you think the description & photo’s are missing something… Message Me! Ask questions, I will answer honestly, I will send more photo’s, maybe even a video if you want. I'm not trying to scare away a potential customer, I'm just saying, please consider everything I said before asking for a refund. Look, there is some risk when buying used 30 - 60 year old, pre owned, vinyl… together we can cut down on that risk even eliminate it! Thanks for looking!!!
