Bill Withers Just As I Am / Still Bill RARE Australian 2003 2for1 CD Reissue EX+

Description: RARE, Australian 2003 Raven Records 2 For 1 CD Reissue and Remaster of Bill Withers 'Just As I Am' and 'Still Bill' albums (Catalogue Reference: Raven RVCD-160). This single CD contains Bill Withers 1971 and 1972 albums. It also includes two bonus tracks, 'Better Days' from the original motion picture soundtrack 'Man and Boy' and 'It's All Over Now' (with Bobby Womack) from 1975. An 8 page booklet is included with sleeve notes. I can't imagine this copy has seen more than a couple of plays. CONDITION: EX/EX+ (CD VISUAL) / NM (8 PAGE BOOKLET): Like all my media this has been graded under an intense light in an effort to identify every possible flaw. Fingers have been on the playing surface at some point in time but all I can make out are a few tiny (a couple of millimetres apiece), ultra-fine hairline marks. It is obvious this copy hasn't seen heavy play. I would guess I was the first person to handle the booklet since it was placed inside the jewel case. It is pretty much immaculate. I should say that I don't bother grading the plastic jewel case as I don't see the point (it can easily be replaced if deemed necessary). A fine example of a hard-to-find set in the U.K.! GRADINGS - Description MINT – If used to describe the condition of a record the item will be sealed. Mint will rarely be used to describe the condition of a sleeve however, it will mean the item is sealed and no storage damage is evident. NEAR MINT – When used to describe a record it will mean that it is hard to discern that the disc has been played. When viewed under an intense light there might be the odd hairline mark however, you would really have to look hard for it. Ultimately, the vinyl will look like it has just been made. When used to describe a sleeve it will mean that the sleeve has no shelf-wear or storage damage. The sleeve will look like new. EXCELLENT+ - There will be an indication that the record has seen some play but not heavy play. When viewed under an intense light only the tiniest, wispiest hairline markings will be present and not excessively so. The vinyl will retain a great sheen. A sleeve described as EX+ will display minimal shelf or storage wear including an odd crease or the stubbing of corners, slight fraying to the opening edge. Ultimately, the sleeve will still be a superior example. EXCELLENT – There might be an indication that the record has seen a reasonable amount of play and handling however, it has been well looked after. Superficial surfaces scuffs may be present but no marks of real substance (i.e. which will affect playback). Under an intense light it is likely that a relative volume of hairline marks are present. A sleeve described as EX will display shelf or storage wear including creasing, loss of print (due to rubbing), possible stubbing of corners etc. The sleeve will not display any substantial flaws. Ultimately, it will be a solid copy. VERY GOOD+ - I will rarely list vinyl for sale described as VG+. Any vinyl listed as VG+ will have a detailed condition description included in the listing. The description VG+ is more often used to describe sleeves. Often VG+ describes the condition of a sleeve which was of very cheap manufacture (think 1970s EMI sleeves or Polydor late 60s/early 70s) and therefore more prone to display the vagaries of time. A sleeve described as VG+ will not be a basket case. It will likely display a reasonable volume of creasing, a reasonable amount of rubbing/stubbing and possible the odd substantial flaw.
