ARTIST: VELVETT FOGG

TITLE: SAME

RECORDING FORMAT: LP

LABEL: PYE NSL 18272

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: UNITED KINGDOM

YEAR OF RELEASE: 1969

MATRIX CODE SIDE A: NSPL 1827 2A-1 * T STEREO (Stamped)

MATRIX CODE SIDE B: NSPL 1827 2B-1 * T STEREO (Stamped)

CONDITION: (vinyl/cover) VG+/VG+ ***GREAT COPY!*** (Please read detailed information below!)

Classic British Psychedelia! I’m certain that you all know this one, so I guess no further introduction is needed. I do however wish to stress the fact, that this record is INDISPENSABLE in any serious record collection!

COVER; The cover is laminated on front and has a few creases round the edges, top left corner has some peel-offs, the other corners are lightly bumped. Back-cover has both flip-backs intact and is part from the aforementioned creases, in very nice shape. No graffiti and hardly any stains. As a whole a nice VERY GOOD PLUS. (The term excellent is not used according to Goldmine Grading Standards.) Please look at the pictures and feel free to contact me if you need more detailed information!

VINYL; The vinyl shows GREAT lustre with one or two light hairlines visible under strong light. Visually clearly NEAR MINT. When giving it a gentle spin on my REGA P3 turntable, some distant static crackle can be heard in some of the more mellow parts and in between some of the tracks. One breath away from a NEAR MINT grading, I would say. You WILL be satisfied with this record! A very, very conservative VERY GOOD PLUS. (No "excellent" is used and everyone else would call this NEAR MINT.)

LABELS; Both labels are very clean with just light spindlemarks. This record has been well looked after during the last 40 years.

___________________________________________________________________________

I use GOLDMINE GRADING STANDARDS – MINT/NEAR MINT/VERY GOOD PLUS/VERY GOOD/GOOD/POOR. I only use the term "MINT" when the record is factory sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) means NEAR MINT both visually and audible! VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) is the same as EXCELLENT (EX) in other grading systems. My ambition is to provide an as accurate description as possible and I do not try hide any defects or other flaws on the record and cover. MY GRADING IS STRICT and winning bidder ALWAYS has full refund minus shipping costs! PLEASE E-MAIL IF ANY CONCERNS! THANK YOU AND HAPPY BIDDING!

GOLDMINE GRADING STANDARDS

MINT ---- It should appear to be perfect. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains, labels or writing, tears or splits. Mint means perfect.

NEAR MINT ---- Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly.

VERY GOOD PLUS ---- The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully. Not too far from perfect. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original lustre may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors.

VERY GOOD ---- Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl lustre, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, but should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.

GOOD ---- Well played with little lustre and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record should still play all the way through without skipping. Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not obliterate the artwork.

POOR ---- Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above "Good" grading should be seen as Poor. Several cover flaws
