Lot of 2 limited cd box of The velvet underground, both 45th anniversary edition, still sealed but they have some marks, please see pics for further details. Velvet underground and Nico has one light cut on the front, which unsealed would be barely visible in my opinion. Otherwise it is New and sealed. White light white heat is also sealed but there are missing parts on the sealing. There is also a corner à bit damaged.

Very hard to find and RARE Ac/dc BOX set Vol 1 Complete with 6 albums Why rare? as it has the red lettered Powerage sleeve misprint and the TNT with white border. Those were only released in this very limited 1989 box set. A lot of these box sets exist in cardboard, but very few were made in this perspex plastic box. Overall super condition, see pictures for a very detailed condition. - All records seem to be unplayed and are NM. - Sleeves are all close to NM except for Dirty Deeds that has wide tape marks allover (VG), but it's not distrubing as you can see on the pictures. Powerage has a tiny seam split as you can see to the left. - Plastic box (inevitable scratches, one corner missing a part - see pictures) and inner (tears, tape and wear on sides) are VG. International bidders welcome. Exact shipping quote might be different from the announced quote based on your exact location -please inquire before bidding or accept the final shipping oncost if any. Thank you.

VG     le vinyl:  jouera avec des gresillements frequents pouvant parfois un peu gener  l'ecoute du disque (craquement en debut et fin de morceaux et/ou sur les passages les plus calmes, claquement sec provoqué par une mini rayure plus profonde mais pendant moins de 10 secondes).  la pochette sera propre mais presentera des signes visibles d'usures (carton ramolli par l'age ou l'humidité/ pochette pouvant etre froissée ou legerement dechirée ou coupée sur les tranches / usures des coins ). des petites marques ou inscriptions au stylo ou feutre peuvent apparaitre (signature pour repérer les disques dans les boums !  repérages de DJ.....) . G+/G/G-  le vinyl   a eté beaucoup ecouté et presente des gresillements reguliers, il peut aussi avoir un claquement provoqué par une marque plus profonde. Cependant cette appreciation depend beaucoup du proprietaire et du type de musique. souvent les bruits de surface dependent du volume sonore.un bon vieux rock ou hard sonnera "bon" a fort volume alors qu'un melomane adorant le jazz ou le classique trouvera l'ecoute "horrible". L'ENCHERE NE SERA PAS CONSEILLEE AUX AUDIOPHILES ET PERFECTIONNISTES  la pochette: elle aura connu des problemes nuisant fortement a son esthetique (bande en ruban adhesif, marques au stylo ou feutre, dechirure, bordures tres usees, rongee par les rats...).   en fonction de la gravite de l'etat du disque et de la pochette les majorant ou minorant +  /  -   seront appliqués a G  .  P pauvre:   P NE REPRESENTE PAS UN NIVEAU ENCORE PLUS BAS QUE G . le disque est en vente uniquement s'il est digne d'interet c'est a dire tres rare et de collection.  l'acquereur aura alors une pochette tres correcte avec un disque quasiment inecoutable ou l'inverse . charge a lui d'attendre de trouver plus tard la méme piece en meilleur etat. j'ai constaté que  de nombreux collectionneurs a la recherche de pieces pas courantes aiment les posseder méme tres abimees juste pour le plaisir fetichiste de les posseder ! pour le contenu ils ecoutent les versions remasterisees et remplies de bonus (merci a rhino usa ou a juke box france) dans tous les cas le prix de depart sera 1,99 euros sans prix de reserve et vous serez prevenus par une description tres precise de l'objet. §§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§                                                GRADING INFORMATION NM   NEW EX   vinyl   is virtually perfect. at most,perhaps a light scuff appears on the record.it play without any noise or skips of any kind whatsover.  record sleeve: should look perfect with only minor signs of wear. the artwork should have no marks of any kind; there should be no "ring wear". VG+: vinyl  should play with no skips of any kind. it should sound better than it looks. perhaps some very surface scuffs;but not a lot effect on sound quality. but still plays well. surface noise will probably be present including pops and clicks. noise should only be heard between tracks or  or during very calm passage  record sleeve: might have some "ring wear" but the artwork should be unaffect   VG: vinyl doesn't necessarily look good, but still plays well. surface noise will  be present including pops and clicks.   record sleeve will look warn and used. there may be seam splitting.  there will be noticeable ring wear on the cover,but most of the cover should still be in good condition.  G+/G/G-:    vinyl looks well played,dull, and possibly not well taken care of. however, the record should still play without skipping. it will have substantial surface noise, pops and clicks.loss of various parts of the dynamic range will occur due to worn grooves. this grading depends a lot on the owner and the type of music. a rock or hard record may will sound "good" with high volume but a  jazz or classical  record will sound"horrible".  please  audiophile or perfectionist don't bid   . record sleeve : may have many problems including seam splits,writing taped repairs, however some of the artwork will still be visible. there can't be large tears and gouges in the cover. depending of the gravity the grade +/- will be add to G. P POOR : doesn't meet the lowest standards for"good". at this point the vinyl is difficult to listen to  . the only reason to keep it would be due to extreme rarity or to fill a good sleeve until a better copy of the vinyl comes along. the same thing for the sleeve, the vinyl is not so bad but the sleeve is very poor and you have to wait for a future better one !  but the price begin at 1,99 euros and no reserve.

PLEASE WAIT THE INVOICE BEFORE SENDING PAYMENT !!!!!!!!  INFORMATIONS: ITALIAN press GRADING COVER/RECORD:  SEALED SHIPPING COST:  to France:  8€ for 1 record; 1€ per additionnal item to Europe:   14€ for 1 record; 1€ per additionnal item  to Rest of the world: 24€ for 1 record; 2€ per addtionnal item ALL shipping are REGISTRED with TRACKING NUMBER.   RECORD AND COVER GRADING: MINT (M) These are absolutely perfect in every way. Often rumored but rarely seen, Mint should never be used as a grade unless more than one person agrees that the record or sleeve truly is in this condition. There is no set percentage of the Near Mint value these can bring; it is best negotiated between buyer and seller. 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. Many dealers won’t use a grade higher than this, implying (perhaps correctly) that no record or sleeve is ever truly 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 also must be absent; a record and label obviously pressed off center is not Near Mint. If played, it will do so with no surface noise. (NM records don’t have to be “never played”; a record used on an excellent turntable can remain NM after many plays if the disc is properly cared for.) 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.” Most collectors, especially those who want to play their records, will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if it toward the high end of the grade (sometimes called VG++ or E+). 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. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint. Very Good (VG) Many of the imperfections found on a VG+ record are more obvious on a VG record. That said, VG records — which usually sell for no more than 25 percent of a NM record — are among the biggest bargains in record collecting, because most of the “big money” goes for more perfect copies. For many listeners, a VG record or sleeve will be worth the money. VG records have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They 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, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise. Minor writing, tape or a sticker can detract from the label. Many collectors who have jukeboxes will use VG records in them and not think twice. 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 resid

My grading criteria are based on the Goldmine® Grading Guide: MINT (M)* These are absolutely perfect in every way. Often rumored but rarely seen, Mint should never be used as a grade unless more than one person agrees that the record or sleeve truly is in this condition. *Note: I almost never use MINT grade, I think it should only be used for perfect new sealed records or perfect "still in shrink" records. I could occasionally add an additional conservative grade of [NM+] to this guide to describe perfect records, even if not new sealed or not "still in shrink".
