This is Los 5 del Este's "Y sus éxitos" released on Regal (Emi) in Spain in 1967. It has a light blue label with dark blue lettering and a flipback front-laminated sleeve.

When looking at the record in the light of my 60 watt table lamp, which I feel is very good at detecting dirt and such, and my 50 watt halogen spots, which reveals even the slightest hairlines, I would visually grade this record VG, perhaps VG(-) on Record Collector's grading scale: Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor, Bad.

It has fairly many very light and very small surface scuffs. None deep or feelable.

When playing the record on my Thorens TD-126 Mk III Centennial record player with an Ortofon MC20 Super MkII needle, Marantz PM 7000 amp and Audio Vector C1 speakers, and sticking my head next to the speaker, I can hear very light noise and crackling in the background of the most powerful songs. During the slightly less powerful tracks the noise is slightly more evident.

I have graded the cover VG+. It has some very light general wear (such as light ring wear on the back) and very, very light fading near the opening. It also has a small sticker in the upper left corner on the back.

Please see my other auctions for more of the same type of music.

I grade accurate and honest as I hate buying records myself that are graded as EX/VG+ or something and getting a record that has noise through all the tracks. I play grade every record I sell (except for sealed ones), as I feel that a visual grade doesn’t cut it. A record can look great but be trashed and also the other way around! No offence to any seller, but I think a lot of people don't know how to grade visually (I can't say by eye if a record will sound very good or excellent either). It seams like a lot of people just take out the record, look at it quickly (with no use of bright lights) and then slap on some high grade to increase the interest! I also feel that if you don’t grade a record correct, why even bother to grade it at all? When I buy a record here at Ebay that's graded excellent or something, it usually has noise during the tracks, which isn't excellent in my book! A grade should sound like the name it has. Very Good should sound very good, not have noise through all the tracks – no matter how it looks! Whenever I see a record graded near mint or mint, I simply do not believe it and I advise you not to trust it either! All grades are 100% guaranteed!
