ARTIST: INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER

TITLE: Sov gott Rose-Marie

LABEL: LOVE RECORDS LRLP 5

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: FINLAND

YEAR OF RELEASE: 1968

MATRIX CODE SIDE A: LRLP 4 ST A (Stamped)

MATRIX CODE SIDE B: LRLP 4 ST B (Stamped)

Indispensable debut album from one of Sweden’s most well renowned progressive/underground acts.

CONDITION: (vinyl/cover) VG/NM ***NICE COPY*** (Please read detailed information below!)

COVER; the very thin and fragile cover is very nice. It has some light wear round the edges and corners. There is a faint beginning of ringwear. This one is really hard to track down in perfect condition and this is a nice VERY GOOD PLUS.

VINYL; the vinyl is rather nice. There are light hairlines and  a few scuffs visible under strong light. Not too serious, but it gets a visual VERY GOOD. It plays nice, with some light occasional background crackle, more prominent in the mellow parts and in between some of the tracks. This one suffers from an inferior pressing and there are no dead silent copies around. Aurally graded as VERY GOOD.

LABELS; there is a name written on side A, otherwise very nice with basically no visible signs of wear at all.

I use GOLDMINE GRADING STANDARDS – MINT/NEAR MINT/VERY GOOD PLUS/VERY GOOD/GOOD/POOR. The grading MINT (M) is hardly ever used - and at that umcommon occasion - NOT used improperly. NEAR MINT (NM) means NEAR MINT both visually and audible! VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) is the same as EXCELLENT (EX) in other grading systems. My ambition is to provide an as accurate description as possible and I do not try hide any defects or other flaws on the record and cover. MY GRADING IS STRICT and winning bidder ALWAYS has full refund minus shipping costs! PLEASE E-MAIL IF ANY CONCERNS! THANK YOU AND HAPPY BIDDING!

___________________________________________________________________________

GOLDMINE GRADING STANDARDS

MINT ---- It should appear to be perfect. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains, labels or writing, tears or splits. Mint means perfect.

NEAR MINT ---- Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly.

VERY GOOD PLUS ---- The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully. Not too far from perfect. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original lustre may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors.

VERY GOOD ---- Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl lustre, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, but should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.

GOOD ---- Well played with little lustre and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record should still play all the way through without skipping. Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not obliterate the artwork.

POOR ---- Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above "Good" grading should be seen as Poor. Several cover flaws
