Bach Goldberg Variations Glenn Gould CBS IM 37779

Description: Visually, the vinyl is beautiful, definitely NM. Sonically there's more noise than I expected, moderate to moderate-low noise, so I'm grading it VG+ to be on the conservative side. Only spot tested, not fully play tested. Gold foil still shiny. Some spine wear. Gatefold may have stuck together in the past due to humidity, minor tearing along inside top edge. FWIW, I'll keep the broken "CBS Masterworks Factory Sealed" outer plastic sleeve with the item. Goldmine VG+. Sleeve Goldmine VG. Made in 1982. Made by CBS Masterworks Digital. Please see additional terms below, and please see my store for more items! ---------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for your interest! REGARDING ALL ITEMS: PACKAGING: All of my items, regardless of format, are first wrapped in a plastic liner to protect against liquids, then wrapped in cushioning material (that is, if appropriate for the item) to protect against shocks, and finally placed in cardboard (or a cardboard box) to protect against punctures and sharp objects. SHIPPING: Sorry for the inconvenience in advance, but I add USPS Signature Confirmation to all U.S. orders over $75. This extra service is at my expense. ISSUES: I am confident you will be 100% happy with this sale. However, none of us are perfect, so if you are unhappy in any way with your product, please reach out to me BEFORE leaving negative or neutral feedback. I will always try my best to correct any mistakes I might make! REGARDING VINYL: GRADING: If you are new to vinyl collecting, please research the Goldmine grading system before purchasing from me, since my goal is to conform to this standard. From best to worst condition, I use the grades: NM (Near Mint), VG+ (Very Good Plus), VG (Very Good), G+ (Good Plus), G (Good), F (Fair), P (Poor). I do not use the Goldmine grades Mint (M) or Excellent (EX, or VG++). As you can see, "Good" and "Fair" are not as "Good" or "Fair" as you may have expected! I don’t test all records and sometimes grade the record solely visually. I make all visual grades by angling the record slowly under a 500-watt halogen light. PLAY TESTING AND CLEANING: Please assume the record has not been play tested or cleaned unless I explicitly state this. I sometimes may test isolated passages, e.g. to test surface noise, but this doesn’t mean that I play tested the record in its entirety, unless I explicitly state this. I sometimes clean the discs I sell, but this is at my sole discretion, so please do not expect your discs to be professionally cleaned. PACKAGING: I will remove the record with its inner sleeve from the outer sleeve to eliminate danger of seam splits during shipping. I will not do this for box sets since the vinyl is already protected by the thick album box. However, before shipping records which have custom inner sleeves (i.e., showing photos, lyrics, artwork, etc) I remove the disc from THAT custom inner sleeve and place it in a SEPARATE generic sleeve. If a box set contains custom inner sleeves, I will follow the procedure above and place all materials back into the album box case. Thanks for reading! balkiappleton
