ARTIST: DON CHERRY

TITLE: Organic music society

LABEL: CAPRICE RIKS LP 50

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: SWEDEN

YEAR OF RELEASE: 1973

MATRIX CODE SIDE A: TRK 73 EM 11 LP 50 A (Stamped)

MATRIX CODE SIDE B: TRK 73 EM 12 LP 50 A (Stamped)

MATRIX CODE SIDE C: TRK 73 EM 13 LP 50 A (Stamped)

MATRIX CODE SIDE D: TRK 73 EM 14 LP 50 A (Stamped)

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

Rare Terry Riley-influenced jazzy world music, yet with a distinctive out-of-the-body feeling added to the eclectic musical landscapes. Maybe you should pass this one if you’re into STATUS QUO or SLADE. This is the original first Swedish pressing and I guess you all know the deal here...

COVER; the laminated gatefold sleeve is really nice with one or two small creases at the spine, an insignificant beginning of ringwear on back visible from some angles. Some inevitable cornerwear. This cover gets a NEAR MINT-grading.

VINYL; when held under strong light. side A of the vinyl has a few very light hairlines visible from some angles. Visually graded as NEAR MINT. Side B shows a slightly increased amount of the same type of hairlines. One breath away from a visual NEAR MINT-grading. Side C has a very light paperscuff and one or two very light hairlines and grades visually as NEAR MINT. Side D has some light hairlines and three more evident lines visible under strong light. Looks nice and is one or two breathes away from a visual NEAR MINT-grading. During playback, some occasional disturbing noise can be heard. This ranges from a distant hissing to light crackle. The vinyls are aurally graded as VERY GOOD PLUS. But plays better most of the time.

LABELS; all labels have a discreet library rubber stamp (purple on purple). There is some minor rubbing at the centrehole, otherwise clean with no spindlemarks.

EXTRA; has the original insert in pretty much untouched condition.

I use GOLDMINE GRADING STANDARDS – MINT/NEAR MINT/VERY GOOD PLUS/VERY GOOD/GOOD/POOR. The grading MINT (M) is hardly ever used - and at that umcommon occasion - NOT used improperly. 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
