Description
Welcome to my shop...as ever, everything is graded/described correctly,conservatively, and honestly....please check my feedback and bid with the utmost confidence. I'll be continually listing a varied selection of vinyl throughout 2012. My gradings use + to ++++ as I believe the standard grading system of just, for example, EXCELLENT is far too wide and can be misleading....and MINT always means MINT (flawless sleeve & unplayed flawless vinyl) and I'm not afraid to use the term VERY GOOD (which ,incidentally, does not mean trashed !).
THE JOHN BETSCH SOCIETY "Earth Blossom" 1974 STRATA-EAST SES-19748 STEREO 7 track.

CONDITION
SLEEVE
The textured sleeve is in EXCELLENT condition. A solid, crisp sleeve with only a couple of light creases...otherwise flawless. There is no edge wear, no corner wear, no ring wear, no dings/dents, no discolouration, no mustiness, no grubbiness, no folds, no tears, no sellotape, no stickers, no seam splits, no writing, no wear and no softening to near perfect opening edges, and no wear to a near perfect square spine. The sleeve grades EXCELLENT++++.
INNER SLEEVE
The correct plain white paper inner sleeve has no seam splits or tears and grades EXCELLENT++++.
VINYL
The record has clearly barely been played....has NO scratches, only a few light inconsequential surface marks and scuffs, and only a few of the very lightest sleeve removal scuffs when viewed at an angle under a bright light. The vinyl grades EXCELLENT and plays with little or no background noise, and with NO distortion, NO hiss, NO jumps, NO skips, NO sticks, NO pops, and very few louder clicks.
LABELS
The labels grade near MINT , with only a couple of barely visible spindle marks on each side, with no wear to near perfect spindle holes, and no unwanted wear or writing.
If needed (or requested by purchaser), the vinyl is cleaned using the correct mix of distilled water and fluid on an OKKI NOKKI Record Cleaning Machine.
This record has been cleaned, and has been given a new polylined inner sleeve.
STILL NOT SURE, THEN CHECK MY FEEDBACK AND BID WITH CONFIDENCE!
Please bid with confidence as my descriptions are accurate and honest (check my feedback)....when grading/describing, as a vinyl addict and collector, I always think "what would I want to know?"!. In order to achieve this I describe in the factual detail required for buyers to make there own decisions.....I won't try and mislead, and won't overlook flaws in order to hike up the price ! As you can see I usually use two pics at the most.....if ,however, you do require more close ups please do not hesitate to contact me and this can be arranged through email.
