High Tide

Sea Shanties   Liberty : LBS 83264

UK - 1969

Sleeve Condition: VG- / Media Condition: G+
  This is an original presssing of the Sea Shanties album from 1969. Sleeve is non laminated gatefold sleeve, which while displaying signs of wear is structurally sound with no splits. There is an owners name written towards bottom of sleeve near title (as shown in photo). The record itself has a number of surface marks and is graded visually as only G+, however on playtest it performs somewhat better than expected. The record plays through on both sides with no obvious jumps or sticks and there is only the occasional pop. None of the surface marks appear to produce repetitive clicks (as might be expected from scratches). There is a degree of background crackle throughout although for the most part this is not particularly in evidence because of the nature of the music - there are however some quieter passages (for example the track "Pushed But Not Forgotten" where it is much more noticeable. The more serious fault is that there is a degree of distortion on playback - while this is present to some extent on side 1 it is more prevalent on side 2. The album is still good to listen to but not without it's faults. This copy would be ideal for a collector as a starter copy until a better copy can be sourced - not recommended for the casual listener! Priced taking condition into account.

GRADING: All of our records are graded using the standard UK Record Collector Grading system as follows:

• MINT: 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: 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: 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: 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.

POSTAGE AND PACKING: Items will be sent in strong protective packing, using purpose designed mailers where possible. We take care to make sure that the vinyl and inner bag are always removed from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits, and the vinyl itself will be placed in a soft plastic cover to protect it during transit. Postage discounts are available for multiple items, so please wait to be invoiced if you are making multiple purchases.
