It seems that EBay does not use the Goldmine Grading System any longer. So in the Item Specifics section I am going to use the grade that your typical EBAY seller would use. If you want to see the actual GOLDMINE Grade for this item check the full item description below.

Most records are PLAY GRADED (obviously the SEALED records are not). Since this takes a lot of time I do list my records for slightly higher prices than the bulk EBay sellers but you will know exactly what you are getting.




GOLDMINE GRADE - Cover Condition: EX / Vinyl Condition: EX
Very rare pre-Kiss Peter Criss album. I wasn't expecting much when I bought this but I was pleasantly surprised. The songs have very little resemblance to Kiss but there are some good classic rock / psych songs on here. Of course there are a couple goofy flower power type songs too but overall pretty good. I've had it for awhile now and I have too many other things to listen to so I'm going to pass it on to somebody else. 
I have listed to this record in it's entirety and it play great. No scratches, minimal surface noise, minor scuff marks. Cover is likewise in excellent shape. There is a bit of gum residue in the upper left where a price sticker was probably located. I didn't want to mess with it but if you want to you can probably get it off. Inner sleeve is a UNI factory sleeve. At first I thought this was not original but after looking into it I'm not so sure. Decca didn't have a lot of rock acts signed in 1970 and they were part of the same company as UNI so they may very well have used UNI sleeves at that time on the rock records.

GOLDMINE GRADING KEY:
I have been selling records for over 30 years so you can feel safe in knowing that all my records are strictly, accurately and CONSERVATIVELY graded, guaranteed.

    NM ---- Close to perfect, this is the highest grade I give to a non-sealed record.  Most likely it will appear as new.  At worst it may have 1 or 2 very insignificant flaws.
    EX --- May have a few very minor flaws. Covers will have minor edge or corner wear or perhaps some barely noticeable rubbing. Vinyl will have a few light paper scuffs or possibly a light inaudible scratch.
    VG+ ---- Will show signs of handling but still in better than average condition. Covers may have light ring wear or a little bit heavier corner or edge wear than a EX record (perhaps a light corner crease) but nothing that will seriously detract from the cover art. The vinyl will have paper scuffing and possibly one or two light scratches but nothing audible.
    VG ---- About average condition for a lightly used record. Covers may have noticeable corner, edge wear or ring wear and possibly a partially split seam.  Vinyl may have a few scratches, some may be audible, but still quite listenable.

Anything graded below VG- I typically won't list unless there's something rare or special about it.   



SHIPPING/PAYMENT INFO:

All records are vacuum cleaned and are shipped with poly sleeve in a specially designed record mailer box with protective filler.  I have a large inventory of records in my store so if you look around you will likely find some other things you are looking for.  I always combine shipping.
