NEIL YOUNG & CRAZY HORSE ~ 2 x LP Lot ~ LIVE RUST & EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS IS NOWHERE
A pair of vinyl albums, Neil Young and Crazy Horse in all their glorious splendor, and offering the chance to enjoy studio and live offerings...
Various pictures uploaded, sleeve close ups, front and rear, disc - apologies for the tripod reflection - inner sleeves and views of the label details. Check them over carefully, they are part of the description, too...
Please read the record grading guide below and familiarize yourself with the grades used. Goldmine standards adhered to, plus full description in all aspects.
I strive to grade fairly, and have never sold a record without listening to it first.
Visual grading is not an option at all.

This 40+ year old LP I have graded as being in VG++ condition. Both sides play through with no jumping, skipping or any other audio horrors.
The gatefold sleeve - still in the original shrinkwrap - I have graded being in VG++ condition with light scuffing to the opened edge and the shrinkwrap is showing its age a bit, but is still intact.
The labels are in good condition, with no major defects, see close-up pictures uploaded.
The two inner liners are in good condition and feature onstage photography.

This 50+ year old LP I have graded as being in VG condition. Both sides play through with no jumping, skipping or any other audio horrors - there are a number of light hairline scratches, with a bit of low-level surface noise during the quieter passages, nothing too dramatic.
The gatefold sleeve I have graded being in Good+ condition with light scuffing to the edges, minor bumps to the corners, 12" ringwear diameter marks, foxing and light marking to the white areas of the inner gatefold, an ink mark, with tape residue mark on the rear plus a 5" seam split along the top edge and a 2" and a 1" seam split on the bottom edge. It's basically sound, but showing its age a bit...
The two-tone labels, orange and red, are in good condition, with no major defects, see close-up pictures uploaded.
The inner liner is plain.
Any questions, email and I'll help if I can.
Two albums, one convenient package...what's not to like?
Thanks for looking!

GRADING GUIDE. (Goldmine Standard)
* Gradings range between - for example - VG, VG+ and VG++. In some cases, for example again, VG- may be used.
MINT (M) Absolutely perfect in every way. Often rumored but rarely seen, and if it is not just out of the pressing plant it is unlikely that, personally, I would ever use this grading.
NEAR MINT (NM OR M-) A good description of a NM record is ?it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time.? In other words, it?s nearly perfect. NM records are shiny, with no visible defects. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any ?spindle marks? from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. Major factory defects will be absent. If played, it will do so with no surface noise. NM covers are free of creases, ring wear and seam splits of any kind.
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) or EXCELLENT (E) A good description of a VG+ record is ?except for a couple minor things, this would be Near Mint.? VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. VG++ is a step up from VG+ generally.
VERY GOOD (VG) Many of the imperfections found on a VG+ record are more obvious on a VG record. VG records lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible. Minor writing, tape or a sticker can detract from the label. They remain a fine listening experience, just not the same as if it were in better shape.VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won?t be obvious upon looking. A small pen or ink mark, or an original price sticker may be noticeable.
GOOD (G), GOOD PLUS (G+) or VERY GOOD MINUS (VG?) Good does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, so it can serve as filler until something better comes along. But it has significant surface noise and groove wear, and the label is worn, with significant ring wear, heavy writing, or obvious surface damage to the label. A Good to VG? cover has ring wear, has seam splits obvious on sight and may have even heavier writing.
POOR (P) and FAIR (F) Records that have obvious damage, they are cracked, impossibly warped, or skip and/or repeat when an attempt is made to play them.
Please note :-
A word about Shipping and Delivery times.
I offer Free Shipping on nearly all of my Buy-It-Now items, and on Auction items a fairly priced Shipping charge (which includes USPS service and the cost of a dedicated mailer suited to the particular item).
Items are shipped within 3 day of the order being placed. Sometimes they are shipped the same day, sometimes on the third day.
It's 'shipping within 3 days', end of.
Records, all formats, 45's, vinyl LP's and 78's are all shipped by Media Mail, which is an Economy service and, in general, can take a few days longer.
However, if you want it delivered Priority or 1st Class, ask beforehand, it's not a problem and I can make the necessary adjustments.
Thank you for reading this.
