DRYEWATER Southpaw JTB '74 private NC hard psych prog HEAR Vpi Cleaned

$

300

VINYL GRADE:
VG++ to maybe NM- (8.5 to 9 out of 10)
Fantastic find here for any rare psych, prog or hard rock collector. Last original copy sold at auction for $476 last month and then 3 years previous for over $600. I was bound to find these at some point living in my area here. The artist is apparently from Lincolnton, the town just south of us - and the band recorded in Taylorsville, just north of us here in North Carolina. This is a nice first pressing here on JTB records out of Gastonia, NC. The record plays very well all the way through with no issues. I have included the entire record playing back down below. Please note that I do the best I can here to properly display my records, they are played once on a Pioneer Direct Drive PL-530 with an Ortofon cartridge.  The album has a very nice surface with some faint sleeve scuffs but no marks to note. Dynamic playback, just as heard in the complete clip below, please judge for yourself!  

Labels look nice as well. Side 2 label print has a couple light areas.

Please see the 35 images located below 
for the best idea possible!

COVER / SLEEVE GRADE:
Cover is in VG+ to strong VG+ condition. 
The cover is solid. There was some light edgewear and print cracking at the extremeties that I touched up. The back slick was becoming loose at the top edge which I carefully repaired. I’d call it a professional repair though I can’t say I do this daily for a living, I’m very interested in bringing a piece to the best it can be. Its a labor of love. Looks very nice as shown. There’s a touch of foxing / age spotting on the front cover in the light area. The back slick at the top edge has a very small split that’s hard to see. I’ve refixed this area. Slight opening bow at the mouth as the last image shows. At any rate, it looks very nice. A fine collectors’ copy I’d say.

Goldmine Grading Details
SS = Still Sealed
any defects will be listed and/or photographed to complete the description

NM- = Near Mint Minus
just short of perfect - acceptable defects would include a hairline mark not detectable to the touch and not affecting playback, background noise is nearly silent

VG++ = Very Good Plus Plus
most records I will list fall under this grade, just short of NM- but may have a mark or contact wear to the label to grade it slightly lower, maybe a drill hole or saw cut, maybe a mark or name written on the label lightly, sound is still great, loud and near perfect, cover may have slight edge or corner wear, maybe slight ring wear

VG+ = Very Good Plus
 a great record, sound is high quality though may have a few pops or clicks, overall very nice looking vinyl possibly with light marks & scuffs, labels may have a name or mark on them, possible light contact wear to the label, covers may have a small split but not large or gaping, edge wear on cover may show more than slight, may be a mark on cover

VG = Very Good
only records I will list with this grade would be rather rare or of higher book value, meant to sell as a filler until a better record comes along, vinyl may have feel-able marks but should play through without skipping, pops or clicks may be louder than usual, may have marks or wear on the label, cover may have open splits, wear on print, may have marks or other very apparent defects (all will be stated in description either by type or in the pictures)
