Jimmy Cliff

Jimmy Cliff - Give Thankx - 1978 WB BSK3240 EX The record has been cleaned using ultrasonic technology and is in a strong EX/EX condition bordering on NM. The cover is very nice and crisp, only a VG+ because of "Bond" writing his name on the cover!

• Record was initially cleaned manually, then ultrasonically cleaned with iSonic Ultrasonic Cleaning prior to grading
• Grading description below, done with The Vinyl Archivist photo examples in mind
• Records are packaged with a poly outer sleeve, the LP is placed in a fresh white inner sleeve directly after cleaning, (we include the accompanying sleeve, we send you both), separate from the cover to protect the seams during shipment, and of course, shipped within thick cardboard insert pads in a thick cardboard record mailer.
• We offer discounted shipping on multiple records: calculated shipping for the first one and $2 for each additional one

SRO Records Record Grading Guide:

SEALED:

Vinyl: Assumed mint, unverified until opened.

Sleeve: Visible through shrink wrap, graded as above.

NM (Near Mint):

Vinyl: Nearly flawless, with possible minor scuffs or hairlines only visible under strong light.
Sleeve: Appears new, as if freshly printed.

EX (Excellent):

Vinyl: Bright, with minor surface wear and hairlines, not affecting play.

Sleeve: May have faint creases or abrasions, but artwork is clean.

VG++ (Very Good Plus Plus):

Vinyl: Visible wear, hairlines, and scuffs, but retains luster and plays with minimal noise.

Sleeve: Noticeable wear, corner dings, and possible fading, but no seam splits.

VG+ (Very Good Plus):

Vinyl: Obvious wear and hairlines, plays with some noise but no major sound issues.

Sleeve: Worn with creases, chipping, and possible seam wear.

Here's the SRO Records line in the sand. Anything below VG+, unless it's rare, or just awesome, we're NOT going to sell online, much less go through the hassle of an ultrasonic cleaning, we're going to put it in one of many $10 Record boxes that we sell at Record Conventions and events. Some will wind up in the $1 Box, just to get it back out into the world for someone to enjoy.

VG (Very Good):

Vinyl: Dull appearance with many hairlines and scuffs, plays with persistent noise but no skips. 

Sleeve: Worn with possible seam splits and moderate ringwear.

VG- (Very Good Minus):

Vinyl: Numerous marks and scratches, plays with significant noise but music usually overpowers flaws.

Sleeve: Rough appearance with possible seam splits and water damage.

G+ (Good Plus):

Vinyl: Many marks, somehow plays without skipping despite significant noise.

Sleeve: Heavy ring wear and damage, possible large seam splits.
