Year: 1977 Grade: Album = VG++ | Cover = VG+ Up for auction is a Rare regional psychedelic folk country album by Cambridge. You can find more information and listen to the album here.  It is on a small label Green Dolphin from Pittsburgh, PA - the band is actually from the Erie, PA area. It is a pretty progressive album for the time. The cover shows some signs of age, there is some ring wear and the paint is worn in places. It is the best condition cover I have seen.  The record is in excellent shape. It looks like it was rarely played. There are a few scuff marks on side one track one, they do not impact play. The rest of the album is perfect, bid with confidence. This is the best condition Cambridge LP I have ever seen.

GRADING SYSTEM

Vinyl grading is usually based on the Goldmine standard and is as follows:

“SS” Still Sealed – For the collector that demands nothing but perfection.

Record“M” Mint - a near perfect, or unplayed record.“NM” - in factory fresh condition, like new.

Album

VG ++ - close to like new with only superficial signs of use that don't affect play. minor scuffs which are only slightly visible. There may be more than a few scuffs and NO Scratches VG++ record shows wear, surface scuffs. The vinyl still has a great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. If the flaws don't cause any surface noise, the vinyl can still make the VG++ grade.

VG+ - There will be obvious signs of wear and the possibility a few skuffs and/or light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages, but still quite nice.

VG - this record is a record that is good enough. They are not really going to look very good, but it will STILL play very good. there will almost always be some surface noise when they are played. The Dynamics should still be excellent, overpowering the surface noise. A VG record will appear to have been played and may still have some degree of luster.

GD - A good record will look very well played, dull, grayish and possibly abused. However a Good record should still play. It will have distracting surface noise. Such as crackle that is continuous or some hiss. Will also have some loss of dynamics caused from grooves being worn. It should play without any skips or any obtrusively loud pops or repeated clicks, caused by deep scratches. Good means that it will play with some form of decency, so one can still enjoy the music even though you can still hear noise caused from the wear.

Cover

VG++ - Artwork is still as close to perfect as can be. Some impressions to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear! Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show white (where the artwork pasted slick was) meaning, slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs can make this grade.

VG+ - A virtually clean cover, but may have small writing on it.The artwork looks clean with slightly more aging. The back of the cover usually gives away the age of the cover. Flat white paper will be somewhat yellow yet no stains or mildew from water damage. Some minor wear to the seams or spine, but no tears or holes popping through. The corners will be slightly dog eared yet no crackly bends, defacing the artwork. In essence, a VG+ cover should have no more than 3 flaws mentioned.

VG - covers will look worn, used. There may be some seam splitting . There will be some ring wear, where the ink has begun to wear off. Giving the cover a look of snow falling. If the artwork looks snowy all over, it is less than VG condition. There may be some writing on the cover (still, no Large letters in magic marker). It will look aged and more yellowish due to contamination's in the air (sometimes looking like cigarette smoke). Still it should be decent.

GD - A Good cover will have just about everything wrong with it. It will have seam splits (possibly taped repaired, but only with scotch tape. No duct tape or masking tape repairs. These are big turn offs. May have magic marker writing on the cover but still if they are in huge letters, it is a big turn off.In essence, the cover will looked virtually trashed, but some artwork will still be noticed. If the artwork is worn, it is POOR and the cover is worthless.

I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT I GRADE ON THE CONSERVATIVE SIDE. IF NOT SATISFIED PLEASE CONTACT ME PRIOR TO LEAVING NEGATIVE FEEDBACK.
