Traffic - Last Exit - UK - 1969 - 12" vinyl LP
Island ILPS 9097
Overpriced? - Make me an offer!!
Pink Island labels with orange 'eye' - E J Day outer sleeve.
The first of the first - the label was superseded by the pink-with-a-white-i label after only a few weeks in 1969.
See photos for tracklist / personnel.
Matrix nos:
side 1: ILPS+9097+A
side 2: ILPS+9097+B
stamped - nothing else in the deadwax - 1st press
This one needs a little explanation before the grade - it's a junk-shop rescue, picked up with the idea of framing it.
My deck has a fairly low - 1.5gram - tracking weight, and I thought it was bound to skip all over the place if I tried to play it.
However, after a deep clean, it not only played all the way through with no skips, but sounded pretty good, too.
I've priced it at "10% minus £5" of my guess at what a minter might make - ie £400.
Disc - 'Very Good'
The vinyl generally looks pretty good, now it's cleaned up - though a professional clean might improve it further.
Side 1 has at least half-a-dozen obvious marks, along with the usual scuffs & hairlines - see photos.
Side 2 looks a lot better, with only a couple of small obvious marks - see last photo.
Labels are OK, with quite a bit of spindle-marking, and a stain side 2; no ink - see photos.
Plays amazingly well, with pops, clicks & crackles which intrude in the lead-in both sides; between tracks; and in the quietest bits.
A particular irritation is a small, but noisy, mark in the quiet bit towards the end of Feelin Good.
Sleeve - 'Very Good'
The sleeve is a little tired, but in one piece, no rips, major creases, ink.
There's a split from the open edge about two-thirds across the bottom, couple inches across the top.
Otherwise, as photos - ring- & edge-wear, rubbed spine, bumped corners, some stains, minor creases, etc.
The original inner is lost - will supply new poly-lined paper inner.

Condition Guide
"MINT - M: The record itself is 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 are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT - Ex: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD - VG: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD - G: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."
Note - I don't use 'Mint' as a description - and I don't sell less-than-'Good'.
