Description: Steely Dan ~ Countdown To Ecstasy Comments on our grading methods and sales practices We do our best to accurately describe the condition of our records and record sleeves. We attempt to grade each record as conservatively as possible without misrepresenting actual condition. We make every effort to adhere to the grading system outlined below. That said we are humans and may miss something. Also it is a given that one man's light scratch will be another mans deep gouge. So....... If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase we will refund your money. Please see our Customer Satisfaction & Return policy below. Record grading is visual only, we do not play or clean records before shipping. Each LP is examined under a bright light for imperfections. *-----* Shipping Details *-----* **** Records are shipped securely packed between 2 cardboard inserts surrounded by bubble wrap. **** **** Included in shipping are new poly lined inner sleeves and 3 to 4 mil protective outer sleeves. **** Record Details Artist: Steely Dan Title: Countdown To Ecstasy Record label: ABC Records – ABCX-779 Release date 1973 Vinyl Condition: VG Sleeve Condition: G Comments: These records are good playable copies but are not up to my higher standards for listing individual records as regards the amount of or severity of imperfections. Most of these records will lie somewhere between VG and VG+ with the greatest chance of them being in the VG area. Occasionally one will be closer to VG- but that will be rare. All types of imperfections can be present. Some records may need to be cleaned before play. NOTE: Record has 2 significant looking thickish surface marks affecting the first two tracks on side A with a couple more smaller significant looking marks close by as well, (see last pic). These look bad so I play tested the tracks involved. To my surprise the tracks played pretty well. There was crackeling and an occasional mild pop but overall it played through nicely. The marks did not induce a meaninful distraction during playback IMO. A few other imperfections exist but they are very minor in nature. Sleeves will be mostly VG with some lesser and some a bit better. This is a generic description and not meant to describe the exact condition of the records in this particular listing. I guarantee your satisfaction or your money back. All I ask is you assume VG quality. If you have any questions or want a play test of a particular record I'll be happy to do that on request.NOTE: Sleeve is very rough. Graded G with rough edges and seem splits in multiple locations plus other imperfections. You would proubably need to tape it up to keep it together.
