'26' printed on labels denotes a PRC-Compton pressing. Includes original lyric inner sleeve and cover still in the shrink-wrap! Vinyl has a few faint surface sleeve scuffs just holding grade back from NM, nothing I can feel. Labels are excellent. Original inner sleeve has smushed/creased bottom corners and long seam splits at the middle of bottom and side edges. Cover in the original shrink-wrap has a slight bend/crease top left corner of front cover, a small scratch/rip through the shrink near top right corner of front cover, a light bump bottom right corner and a touch of wear along the exposed right side edge and top right corner. Shrink-wrap split at the right side of bottom edge and price sticker top right corner of front cover on shrink. Songs: Mad World, Pale Shelter, Change, The Prisoner, and others. If you’re not familiar with QUIEX, it's like this: As CDs began coming on the scene in the 1980’s, record companies started pressing “Quiex II” LPs primarily for radio stations. The idea was to show that vinyl was still king and sounded just as good--or better--than CDs. MOST Quiex pressings were marked as Quiex that were shipped to radio. If too many were pressed, they were packaged as regular LPs and those lucky enough to unknowingly buy them were then blessed with clearer sound! This translucent (when held to light) AUDIOPHILE beauty is one of those pressings! PLANETARY SOUNDS SHIPPING INFORMATION. Yet ANOTHER BIG POSTAL INCREASE: JANUARY 21, 2024!

Remember, even with such a guide, grading is still subjective. Most albums, unless noted, are visually graded under bright lights. We strive to provide as much information as possible about each album. Please ask questions if unsure about anything BEFORE you bid. Still Sealed (SS) As good as it gets. Unopened and most likely perfect all around. Mint (M) Absolutely perfect in every way. Maybe played once. Handled with utmost care. Near Mint (NM or M-) A nearly perfect record. The record shows no obvious signs of wear. Covers show no more than the most minor defects. The same holds true for inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc. Near Mint Minus or Very Good Plus Plus (NM- or VG++) Just a hair more wear than NM, but still very close to Near Mint overall. Vinyl may have nominal sleeve or paper scuffs, cover may have hint of wear. VG++ will be just a fraction below NM- due to one additional tiny defect. Very Good Plus (VG+) Album and cover show some light signs that it was played and otherwise handled with care of it. Record surfaces may have slight surface scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect play. If not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. Very Good (VG) Increased scuffs or light scratches, surface noise evident upon playing. Covers and labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers, or minor seam splits. Very Good Minus (VG-) Certain background noise, possible click or pop, flawed item. Covers heavily damaged, major splits, tears, writing, etc. FEEDBACK: You will get positive feedback automatically when you leave me positive feedback, so please do so.
