Eric B. & Rakim - Move The Crowd w/ Paid In Full (VG++/E)

Description: Hard to find album in this condition. This was a favorite back in ‘87/‘88 and every DJ had to have a copy of this in his crate ready to go. One of the more popular east coast rappers at the time with a low-key style that was unique to Rakim. Condition: USED  Cover Grade*: VG Visual: Original cover in fair condition for a record that is 34 years old! Decent gloss, light ring wear which is more noticeable on the back, opening not stretched, corners not bent, some writing on inside of cover opening (see pictures) Seams: Shows signs of use, wear on top/bottom and 3” split on left edge Notables: Although a little worn, this original cover presents better then it’s age Vinyl Grade*: Visual VG+ // Playback VG++/E <> Label: Side A/1: Paper (non-glossy) label in excellent condition, // Side B/2: Same as A/1 w/ writing present (see picture) Vinyl visual: Side A/1: Glossy and clean, some light visible scratch or scuff marks // Side B/2: Same as A/1 Skipping/scratching: Side A/1: Not played // Side B/2: None Crackling/popping: Side A/1: Not played // Side B/2: Minimal/nothing significant noted or heard during key playback Warping/cupping: None Notables: Your chance to own an extremely clean version of this record...sounds as if it were purchased yesterday. Great playability. This record plays at a strong VG++, maybe even E. Excellent overall condition for the age of this record...34 years old! Inner Sleeve: New acid-free paper   Jacket Protector: Clear polyethylene * Records (vinyl and cover) are graded using Goldmine Grading Guide Note: Colored dots on covers and vinyl can be removed without damage to either. They are used to keep vinyl and covers in sync when I have multiple copies of a record. WANT IT? I WANT YOU TO HAVE IT!! Make a reasonable offer and you just might add it to your vinyl collection today!    <<>> Payment: Must be made within 48 hours of purchase or you forfeit purchase and I will cancel order and repost for another buyer. I use eBay "resolve a problem" process for all late payments. You will receive a negative mark on your account as a buyer if you do not pay within 48 hours!!! Shipping: US and international Buyer pays all shipping costs regardless of region Shipped via USPS Media Mail and/or eBay GSP Album will be shipped in hard mailer box Vinyl will be inside of jacket sleeve and will be compressed by additional cardboard to avoid seam damage (very rare occurrence). If you want it mailed with the vinyl outside the jacket let me know that and I’ll accommodate the request.   Returns: No returns! I’ve gone above/beyond to make sure you have everything you need to make an informed decision to purchase this record or not. I’m sure you’ll find the condition accurate/or better than I have described. I've been very transparent with my grading and condition of these records - I rarely see that from other sellers on eBay. Buy my records with confidence!! *** Some things to know before you purchase... ***   These records are from my personal collection which was built during my time as a DJ between 1980 and 2000. As difficult as it is, I’ve decided to part with these records to make room for new music. These records all bring back fond memories - I hope by passing them on others will play them and recall good times as well or just take a liking to what was popular “back in the day!”  - These records have been graded using the Goldmine Grading Guide. I have personally played side A/1 only and provided a grade I feel best represents the quality of the vinyl and cover(unless otherwise stated in the description above). If you want me to play side B/2 and grade it I will, just send me the request. - I have called out any conditions I think a buyer should be aware of in my description. If you have specific question (runout/deadwax numbers for example) please ask BEFORE YOU PURCHASE the item. There are no refunds. - These records have all had an ultrasonic cleaning in a solution of Tergi-Kleen which is the same solution used by the Library of Congress. Each vinyl protectant sleeve has a removable “last cleaned” sticker with a date on it. This label can be removed without damaging the poly cover. - After cleaning, every record was placed in a NEW archival quality inner paper sleeve or a NEW anti static vinyl inner sleeve. I did this so there would be no transfer of dirt from the old inner sleeve to the freshly cleaned record. In some cases I left the original inner sleeve included where it made sense but put the vinyl in a clean sleeve. - Each record has been placed in a clear hi-density polypropylene cover to protect the jacket. - These records have been kept in covered record crates, in protective jackets and stored inside. I think you’ll find these records are in great shape considering the age and frequency in which they were played. Enjoy!
