LABEL : SPOKANE RECORDS SPL1001
VINYL RECORDS - VISUAL & AUDIO:  EX- / VG ...VG- : Obviously been played before but visually the record appears to be in excellent condition - excellent minus for visual. Audio seems to be a mixed bag with some tracks sounding better than others - but this could be down to the possibility that these are all re-recordings of the original 1928 gramophone recordings which appear to also include all the old crackles and ticks that goes with those old recordings - tracks one and two on side two appear to confirm this is the case. Only a very good to very good minus for audio - but the audio quality could be down to the nature of those old original 1928 recordings.
OUTER COVER: G : Intact but signs of age/wear - there is a small split to one edge of the cover with a tear to the back of the cover located in the middle from the opening of the record sleeve. Not too bad looking generally but only a good overall due to the tear at the back.
INNER SLEEVES : VG : Plain paper inner sleeve - very good. 
* All records arrive  in a protective poly sleeve'.*
Vinyl Record Grading System
I aim to describe records as accurately as possible and so, to try and avoid disappointment, I play all records before listing them and attempt to grade them as conservatively as I can using the guide below - however, grading vinyl records is a very subjective task (what may sound good to me may not sound good to you and visa versa) - therefore if you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact me before leaving any negative feedback and I will always do my best to sort out any problems - I am only human and unintended mistakes can occur. Please also keep in mind that some vinyl records regardless of their condition can still have an occasional tiny tic due to the physical nature of the medium :-

MINT (M):

The record itself will be unplayed and in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.
The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster will be in perfect condition.

NEAR MINT (NM): 

The record will appear like new but will be known to have been played before because it has come from
a previous owner and the record will therefore be assumed to have been played by them - the label might have some light spindle marks. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster will be in near perfect condition.
 

EXCELLENT (EX):

The record might show some signs of having been played before and there may be some infrequent light surface/background noise and/or some occasional light ticks during playback but there will be very little lessening in sound quality and overall still a great copy. The cover and packaging will have slight wear and / or creasing.


VERY GOOD (VG):

The record will obviously have been played many times before, it may have some obvious light background noise (crackles/ticks) but no real major deterioration in sound quality, despite any noticeable surface marks or the occasional light scratch. The cover will have normal wear and tear also on any extra items, without any major defects, is also acceptable.


GOOD (G):

The record will have been played so much that the sound quality will have noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some
distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents will suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc

For any records that appear to fall between the above grades a plus (+) or minus (-) sign will be added to try and provide a more accurate grading.
