Description: Ray Charles – The Greatest! 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: Ray Charles Title: The Greatest! Record label: International Award Series – AK-194 Release date unknown Vinyl Condition: VG+ Sleeve Condition: Strong VG+ Comments: In order to maintain my sanity this multiple LP listing will be compiled without detailed breakdowns of the imperfections found on each record. Instead I will be using simple VG+, VG++ NM etc indicators. I will do my best to adhere to my detailed standards for those quality designations noted in my "Vinyl Grading Details" below. As all who buy music on vinyl know these designations are subjective and one mans VG+ is another mans VG or VG++ etc. Please know if you believe any LP you purchased from me does not match the grading it was given I will gladly refund your money for that LP on request. NOTE: Record has a few faint surface marks and/or paper scuffs. There is also a few minor smudge marks that may clean up. This record should play well. Sleeves will be mostly VG+ or better but will be graded in the same manner as LPs, (ie no details). This is a generic description but the grades for each LP and Sleeve will be done individually for each listing. I guarantee your satisfaction or your money back. If you have any questions or want a play test of a particular record I'll be happy to do that on request.Sleeve in very nice shape. Very small amounts of discoloration, (dark spotting), bottom of front cover and top and bottom of rear cover. Insignificant, see pics. No creases, no ring wear, almost no shelf wear, (tiny amounts at a couple corners. A very nice sleeve.

G : Record will have many imperfections of varying severity including light and deep scratches that can be felt with a fingernail. Fair/Poor : A record with this grade is all but trash.
