DIAS DE BLUES

Ultra rare 1973 Uruguayan original (much harder to find than the Argentinian release and the Uruguayan release has different and, arguably, better artwork) of this great heavy psych LP with lots of excellent guitar work. Not a great copy but as an ultra rarity it’s a worthy artifact and, for the most part, plays pretty well. Featured on page 105 of Hans Pokora’s 2001 Record Collector Dreams where he gives it a 4 disc rarity rating.

 COVER, The extremely fragile thin   matt flipback cover has survived   remarkably well considering the   abuse the record received. A little   light creasing and 3 or 4 short   horizontal   tears at the opening   edge. Tape residue on   the edges.   Other than that it’s pretty good - all   artwork and text is crisp and clear   and there’s   no writing. All edges   sharp and solid, probably saved by   the tape that has now   fallen away.

 On backcover there's a signature   and there're two missing parts.   Decent enough cover,  G

 RECORD, Covered in light   hairlines and there are a few heavy   marks. Side 2 is the better and   plays through fine with obvious   surface noise and a single quick   skip. Side 1 has a small cluster of   feelable marks which cause the   needle to stick in a couple of   places on the two short tracks (2   and 3). The   first and last tracks   are long heavy guitar workouts   and play though OK with surface   noise. G

M VINYLS

Mint means perfect and nothing else

M COVERS

Simply put, a mint cover should appear to have never had a record inside it.

NM VINYLS

Virtually flawless records are not perfect. A very minor scuff and very little else can appear on the vinyl.

NM COVERS

The cover should look as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and or age.

VG++  VINYLS

condition for vinyl will allow minor scuffs which are visible but only slightly. There may be more than a few,. The wear should be minimal and of course should play mint!

VG++  COVERS

Artwork should still be as close to perfect as can be. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear! Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye.

VG+  VINYL

VG+ will show wear, surface scuffs,(or spiral scuffs that came from turn table platters or jukeboxes for 45 singles) and some very light scratches. Surface scuffs are caused from blunt (not sharp) objects

VG+ COVERS

A virtually clean cover, but may have small writing on it. The artwork should look clean with slightly more aging. The back of the cover usually gives away the age of the cover

VG  VINYLS

The Very Good Grade does not mean Very good at all. At least not in the visual sense. A Very Good (VG) record will appear well played but still have some luster. The vinyl may be faded, slightly grayish, yet appears to have been handled as carefully as it could have been helped

VG COVERS

VG covers will look worn, used. There may be some seam splitting (but not  completely separated!). There will be some ring wear, where the ink has begun to wear off. Giving the cover a look of snow falling. There may be some writing on the cover It will look aged

G VINYLS

A good record will look very well played, dull, grayish and possibly abused. However a Good record should still play. It will have distracting surface noise. Such as crackle that is continuous or some hiss

G COVERS

a Good cover will have just about everything wrong with it. It will have seam splits (possibly taped repaired, but only with scotch tape. No duct tape or masking tape repairs. these are big turn offs.

P VINYLS

It won't be playable for the most part, and so they are not much good hanging onto them. Very few poor records are collectable
