Description This is a beautiful, first pressing of Styx's "Kilroy Was Here," which contains the hit song "Mr. Roboto." It has very few flaws and is an excellent specimen. You will not be disappointed. Both the shrink-wrap and hype sticker are very well-preserved. Grading Scale—graded visually under bright lights (playgraded upon request) Mint (M): Sealed only, with no damage to the cover. (This grade is virtually non-existent for me.) Near Mint (NM): Virtually flawless, with onlysuperficial defects like sleeve scuffing, which can occur even in an unopenedalbum. Vinyl appears in near un-played condition, and the cover and innersleeves are free of significant creases or tears. Labels will likewise befree of spindle marks. When I use this grade I MEAN IT! There will be virtually no background noise, like pops or cracks, and it willhave a “just opened” sound. Excellent (E): Still free of any significant defects,with only superficial flaws. Such albums will show some signs of play andstorage, but will display minimal wear and plenty of shine. They willstill be considered in “collectible” condition. Background noise willonly be audible during quieter portions of the album, and will not be prominentto the point of affecting sound quality. Labels will have only a fewspindle marks, and covers will have only minor edge and corner wear. Very Good (VG): An album that has obvious signs ofwear, but plays through without skips, jumps, or long repetitive ticks. It will be entirely playable with moderate background noise. Covers mighthave small stains, edge, spine and/or corner wear. Vinyl will havesurface level scuffs that may affect playback, but allows the music to shinethrough. Unlike other sellers, a grade of VG from me does not meantrash. Good (G): An album that has had a full life, but isstill worth listening too. Sound quality will be diminished by backgroundnoise, and perhaps some loud pops and very minor skips. Covers and innersleeves will have stains, tears or other signs of damage, but will stilladequately protect the vinyl and acceptably present the original artwork. Labels will be diminished by spindle marks and other forms of damage. Poor (P): An album on which the surface noiseand skipping is too distracting to listen too enjoyably, and that has a coverwith major stains, tears or other significant defects. I will sell analbum in this condition ONLY when it is highly collectible becauseof its age and/or rarity. (+/-): I will use plus or minusdesignations freely to nuance the grading of each album, and to bridge the gapin describing albums that fall in between grades. I am not a wholesale collector or a large scaleseller. I’m just an average dude who loves vintage vinyl and collects asa personal hobby. (Especially Dylan!) I try to grade conservatively as a personal collector, always asking myself how Iwould feel to receive a record in the condition I describe. Be assuredthat I will always strive to be as accurate as I can with the grades I assign.(I know how important that is to us vinyl enthusiasts, and how frustrating itis when albums come over-graded!) If you disagree with my gradingupon receipt, please contact me immediately for a resolution before leavingnegative or neutral feedback. All LP’s will be VPI cleaned, and I caneven weigh them for you upon request. Albums are securelyshipped in a media mailer box, with the cover and LP separated in a protectivesleeve. They are also reinforced by at least 2 pieces of 12” x 12”cardboard and bubble-wrap. No worries here! I know how to safely pack anLP. Sealed Albums cannot be returned if opened.
