Description
Artist: The Pharaohs
Title: Awakening Volume 1
Year: 1971
Label & Number: Scarab Records SR-#001
Original/Reissue: There are 2 different pressings I've seen from 1971, each having a different label design and slight differences in the cover. Not sure if one is earlier than the other.
Mono/Stereo: S
Country: USA
Vinyl Condition: Fair, disc shows alot of surface wear and hairlines. There's some lightly feelable stuff but it's, for the most part, superficial. Disc plays through without skipping but there is constant surface crackle. Depending on how loud the music is it is either rather prominent or can be well buried and hardly noticeable. It doesn't ever overpower the music or make the disc unlistenable. As there are reissues of this available I'd suggest bidding on it for it's value as the 1971 artifact.
Cover Condition: VG, cover close to VG+. Some corner wear. Top left dented some. Light ringwear.
Comments: Hard to find 1971 issue.

How we grade our records...
Mint = either still sealed or absolutely perfect. Generally we will only give sealed records this grading.
Near Mint (NM) = pretty much perfect. Any open records that are practically flawless will receive this grade.
Excellent Plus (EX+) = very close to NM but just showing minor signs of handling. An outstanding disc.
Excellent (EX) = a really nice disc. Will possibly show some minor sleeve wear or a small, unfeelable spindle mark or hairline. You'll be pleased.
Very Good Plus (VG+) = a solid used album. There will be signs of usage, some light sleeve wear or rubs. Maybe a few minor spindle marks or hairlines. We will not list any records under this grade that have any blemishes that are feelable.
Very Good (VG) = not trashed but obvious signs of usage. Could be some feelable marks but no gouges or serious blemishes. We will do our best to give some description of the issues. Anything that we feel might cause a skip we will play grade. A decent disc that will likely play with some noise but will play through fine.
Good Plus (G+), Good (G), Fair (F) & Poor (P) = these discs will show a good amount of wear, getting worse as the grading goes down. There will be scratches, scuffs and all manner of blemishes. These discs we will play grade to assess playability and generally will only list rare and high value records that fall under these grades.
