$

23

This Flamin' Groovies "Jumpin' In The Night" here is marked Promotional Copy/Not For Sale on the back cover. On Sire Records SRK 6067. Made in USA.  Guys in the band are:  Cyril Jordan, Chris Wilson, Mike Wilhelm, George Alexander, David Wright.  (This album was actually recorded in Eden Studion and Advision in England.)  I saw these guys perform between 1971-1973 and then again last year in Cleveland, Ohio!  They are so cool! 

Side 1:  Jumpin' In The Night; Next One Crying; First Plan home; In The U.S.A.; Down Down Down; yes I Am.

Side 2:  Werewolves of London; It Won't Be Wrong; Please Please me; Tell Me Again; Absolutely Sweet Marie; 5D; Ladyfriend.

The front cover has only a minimal amount of white fade marks at the bottom center, but it kind of blends in and looks like the rest of the sidewalk they are standing on!  Bottom right corner has a little wear, but not split.  Back cover has a little bit of the fade marks at the top and bottom center.  The yellow Sire label is in perfect shape. 

The vinyl is great!  Side one only has a super light scuff mark on it and Side 2 has 1 super tiny light scratch only viewable under a bright lamp.  Still really shiny.  At first the vinyl looks brand new! I played it through without any skips or pops and quality was crystal clear!

I rate the album cover as Excellent (EX) and the vinyl better at Near Mint (NM) or NM-!

Guidelines I use to rate the quality of these records (based on the Goldmine Grading Guide):

NM:  Near Mint - Vinyl, still shiny, as if opened for the first time. No writing or stickers on the vinyl. No obvious scratches. Label: No writing or stickers and no fading of the label.  LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or similar defects. 

NM-: Near Mint Minus (My grading item/description).   Similar to NM but will have some very light scratches on the vinyl not affecting the sound quality. No writing or stickers on label and no fading (or ringwear) on cover or label.

EX: Excellent - Not quite a Goldmine Standard Listing, but being used by many now. Cover: No ink wear, minor creases to corners, no seam tears. Vinyl can have scratches, but not felt by your fingers. Sound quality must be mint. No more than 15% of the surface should have wear or scuffs on it. To me, EX is like a VG++.

VG+: Very Good Plus - Similar to NM- except that on the label, there may be a sticker or writing, but it shows very little wear. There may be only a couple light surface scratches on the grooves, but do not affect the playback with noise or skips. You may only see these scratches if you put them under a bright light and really look for them. The cover might have light creasing or minor seam or corner wear, but still in great condition to show off.

VG to VG-: Very Good to Very Good Minus - May not be that shiny anymore and you will see scratches without putting it under a bright light, but they still would not affect the quality of the playback. The sound quality is still pretty good, maybe a little noise, but not enough to detract from the listening experience. The label might have some fading around it, besides having stickers or writing. The cover may have obvious ringwear in the middle or around the perimeter of where the record was, maybe some side seam splits, or little tears at the top or side where the record goes back into. If less defects, then it's a VG. If it has all this just mentioned, then a VG-.

G, G+: Good or Good Plus - It doesn't mean the vinyl is trashed. It plays though without skipping, but may have heavy noise or fuzz sound because of age, quality, or worn-down grooves. Heavy writing or stickers on the label, ringwear is very obvious on the cover and cover probably has seam splits. But, amazingly, for the vinyl, if you have special audio LP recording software, you could probably clean up those crackles and fuzzes, if you want to create a CD of it for yourself.

P: Poor - This is when the vinyl is warped to the point it warps the playback also. Or it's cracked, but it may or may not still play without a skip. If a picture sleeve is with it, this is torn or marked up bigtime. But someone may want to have it for nostalgia or even attempt to fix it.
