HIGH QUALITY JAPAN PRESSINGS PURCHASED FROM JAPAN IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION. 1) Shipping is only 50 cents for each additional lp 2) New Superior Cleaning Method .. You will be amazed at the clarity .. The new process entails grading while dividing tracks on the recording software. In the beginning of the vinyl record and in between tracks, we magnify the sound waves and look for spikes at those intervals and listen. This is usually a good tell on the record's usage. Here is the grading system. Smooth & Clean: Narrow line between tracks with no spikes or sound waves 1) 9.7 Plays MINT Cream of the Crop up to 1 tiny tic most likely at the very end of a track .. some ending last up to 40 seconds, which the volume lowers & trails off . 2) 9.6 Plays Mint but allows a few more tiny tics, which are hard to hear .. if at all 2) 9.3 to 9.5 NM .. Usually one noticeable tic depending on the volume .. for example, one pop would lower the grade to 9.3 .. because of the new dynamic cleaning system .. the only thing left is usually rare tics or tiny tics ...or .. damage to the inner groove, which cannot be fixed or cleaned off .. .. 3) 9.0 to 9.2 NM- Slightly louder clicks between track and into 4) 8.5 to 8.9 EX to NM- Noticeable Clicks or pops between tracks but very few, or light hiss throughout. 5) 8.0 to 8.4 EX Noticeable Light background noise, not that irritating but not for audiophiles or perfectionists 6) Under 8.0 VG+ Would be rare and sound quality noted. It plays through and background noise is noticeable but may not be hear much during the music. Also, could be distracting especially during quiet passages. Usually an original pressing with superior sound. SPINDLE GRADING THERE WILL EITHER BE A COUNT OF LINES OR A SCALE AS PRESENTED BELOWF = FEWS = SOMEM = MANY COVER GRADING Mint: Exactly as it came off the shelf. Still sealed and wrapped with no imperfections. NM: Exactly as it came off the shelf, except the package has been opened. Wrapping may or may not be on. If sealed, then either there is a cut out or some minor imperfection. (has been meticulously cared) NM-: Still in the NM grade but may have slight ring wear or other small imperfection. Still portrays a New look and feel, and well taken care of cover. EX: New-looking, but has a minor ding or two, light fading or ring wear, or some other cosmetic flaw. Could be sealed and not handled well. VG+: Displays some obvious wear; dulled corners, creases, partial seam splits, and not new looking. Most covers will be in this grade. VG: Serves its purpose, but has "major" flaws such as seam splits and/or heavily faded. Such a purchase is usually for a vinyl upgrade. VG-: Used as an example of how not to treat an album cover. Also, filling for a ship order. Flaws on the covers, such as writing, cut-out marks, seam splits, etc., WILL BE NOTED RECORD CARE AND STORAGE Since I am a vinyl enthusiast, the albums are handled and stored with great care. All the records have been stored in a climate-controlled environment free of smoke and moisture, and professionally handled. Most of the Japanese pressings were purchased from Japan over the last 12 years. US Buyers have a unique advantage of not having to pay the exorbitant costs for shipping from Japan. I am aware of most of the sellers’ grading systems in Japan and what it means. For example, one seller will grade EX and mean it’s Near Mint, while another will mean it to be only VG+; quite a difference. ABOUT WEAR OF VINYL RECORDS Scratches that can penetrate the record’s groove is not the only problem when testing for quality. The needle or cartridge used can be a major culprit to hiss, pops, and clicks. Thus many records have deteriorating factors, without any visual scratches at all, especially the records used in the 60’s and 70’s. Audiophile technology had not yet been advanced with the invent of the lightweight cartridge. In those days, pennies, nickels or even quarters were placed on top of the needle to make it play more efficient. This added weight wore down the grooves, and created a hissing and crackling sound. Also, when the needle is placed at the beginning many times, sometimes it skips before the music plays and even when it begins. Also, where there is a major hit song, people tend to play that track a lot and put the needle down at it's beginning causing crackles in between tracks and even could play with a few clicks at the start ....
