This image is a general representation of the item and the actual product may differ slightly in terms of color shading, logo placement, borders, or other small details. Used items may have various cosmetic differences as well.
May not shine under light, but should still be pretty clean,
and not too dirty.
May have a number of marks (5 to 10 at most), and obvious signs of play,
but never a big cluster of them, or any major mark that would be very deep.
Most marks should still not click under a fingernail.
May not look near perfect, but should play fairly well,
with slight surface noise, and the occasional click in part of a song,
but never throughout a whole song or more.
This is clearly a copy that was played by someone a number of times,
but which could also be a good "play copy" for someone new.

Nice comeback record for Bambaataa that uses a vocal chant from a live Soul Sonic Force show back in the day – "Zulu! Can't stop us" looped over some classic break beats, still heard in mixes today. The "not taking no sh*t" version includes some nice rhymes from GLOBE of ... 12-inch, Vinyl record
Debut EP from Biz Markie on Prism! Includes two tracks that never made it to his first LP: a dope version of "They're Coming To Take Me Away", about Biz being carted away to an insane asylum, and "A One Two", done acapella with just Biz rhyming and beat boxing, plus the ... 12-inch, Vinyl record
An offshoot of the 4AD rock scene from the UK, this number sampled Rakim from "Paid In Full" to great effect – and it made quite a bit of sense that the track was issued on 4th & Broadway in the US (probably also a legal move, so that the label wouldn't sue 4AD for copping a ... 12-inch, Vinyl record
