El Saturn was not a label known for high quality pressing or vinyl. Almost all records on the label play with some surface noise even when new and frequently do not play up to visual grade. I have pointed out any that were particularly poor pressings. In addition, many records on the label are of sub par recording quality.
The record looks M-. No scuffs and no scratches. Pressing is worse than ES average with moderate noise and record plays VG+ on quiet parts to VG++ on loud passages. The noise occasionally stops and the record plays strong VG++. Grooves do not show wear or damage.
The cover is VG++.
The front cover has a drawing in magic marker and light wear and slight ring wear. The back cover has moderate wear with ring wear. No split seams. Spots of heavy wear and slight denting at the corners. Spine is intact.
Black lines that might be visible at bottom left and top right in pictures are due to photo cropping and not on record.
I WILL NOT END AUCTIONS EARLY. PLEASE DO NOT ASK.
My highest grade is M- and I rarely grade 50s or 60s records M-. Records are graded visually using the Goldmine system. M-, VG++, VG+, VG, VG- etc. I play grade any potential problem areas. I attempt to grade conservatively, listing all significant flaws. You will be satisfied. No hassles.
