Description: Corey Hart with his LP called Boy In The Box. From 1985 on EMI America. Corey Hart was nominated quite a few years for the best male vocalist! (He had the song Sunglasses at Night, but that's not on this LP.) LP comes with a large folded up poster where one side is of him and the other side are many photos of him on stage. The poster does have a tear in one of the folds and a photo of that is here, but you can tape it up. Front cover has some ringwear showing at the top middle section. No side seam tears. Just some white aging wear at the corners. Back cover is upside down when you turn it sideways from the front. No ringwear is showing because it is a dark coloring there. Side seam just has a couple of white crinkles there and a photo of that is here. It comes with an inner sleeve with the lyrics and some photos of the band on both sides. You can see the song titles by zooming in on the photos of the record labels. Side One of the record looks pretty good. In regular light it barely looks played, but under brighter watt lamp, it does show me a small section of scuffing and a photo of that is here. Side Two had a couple of little surface scratches and I got a photo of one. Nothing that caused any sound defects. Here's a 100-second audio/video to hear the great sound quality and it sounds like this all the way through. (Played it with higher treble on purpose so you might be able to hear any light tics or crackles in case they are there.) I rate the cover as Very Good Plus (VG+). The vinyl gets an Excellent (EX) for sound, and a Very Good Plus (VG+) for visual look for the couple of scuffs and light scratches. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Feel free to email me for more information on an item.

No writing or stickers on the vinyl. No obvious scratches. Label: No writing or stickers and no fading of the label. NM-: Near Mint Minus - Similar to NM but will have some very light scratches on the vinyl not affecting the sound quality. No writing or stickers on label and no fading (or ringwear) on cover or label. EX: Excellent - Not quite a Goldmine Standard Listing, but being used by many now. Cover: No ink wear, minor creases to corners, no seam tears. Vinyl can have scratches, but not felt by your fingers. Sound quality must be mint. No more than 15% of the surface should have wear or scuffs on it. To me, EX is like a VG++. VG+: Very Good Plus - Similar to NM- except that on the label, there may be a sticker or writing, but it shows very little wear. There may be only a couple light surface scratches on the grooves, but do not affect the playback with noise or skips. You may only see these scratches if you put them under a bright light and really look for them. The cover might have light creasing or minor seam or corner wear, but still in great condition to show off. VG to VG-: Very Good to Very Good Minus - May not be that shiny anymore and you will see scratches without putting it under a bright light, but they still would not affect the quality of the playback. The sound quality is still pretty good, maybe a little noise, but not enough to detract from the listening experience. The label might have some fading around it, besides having stickers or writing. The cover may have obvious ringwear in the middle or around the perimeter of where the record was, maybe some side seam splits, or little tears at the top or side where the record goes back into. If less defects, then it's a VG. If it has all this just mentioned, then a VG-. G, G+: Good or Good Plus - It doesn't mean the vinyl is trashed. It plays though without skipping, but may have heavy noise or fuzz sound because of age, quality, or worn-down grooves. Heavy writing or stickers on the label, ringwear is very obvious on label and cover probably has seam splits. But, amazingly, if you have special audio LP recording software, you could probably clean up those crackles and fuzzes, if you want to create a CD of it for yourself. P: Poor - This is when the vinyl is warped to the point it warps the playback also. Or it's cracked, but it may or may not still play without a skip. If a picture sleeve is with it, this is torn or marked up bigtime. But someone may want to have it for nostalgia or even attempt to fix it. See my other listings for more great items!
