    Most the stuff i've bought off discogs that's been listed as mint is far from it, visual inspection alone is no indicator and in my view unless a seller has actually played the LP for sale should not be allowed to give a grade to the vinyl and mark it for sale as visually inspected only


    As the late Colonel Sanders once said
    "I'm too drunk to taste this chicken!!"
