ARTIST - HIGHWAY TITLE - HIGHWAY LABEL - SELF RELEASED CATALOG NO - 584N11
RECORD GRADING - VG+(STRONG) COVER GRADING - G+(NO SPLITS!)
Up for auction is this great private pressing from 1975. Legendary self released record, these guys hit all the major rock genres - blues, psych, hard rock and prog, without sounding pretentious or scattered. Highly rated in the Acid Archives book, the standard of self released underground music. This is the original pressing, proved by the 584N11 QCA and LR (faint, but it's there) in the dead wax, the orange labels, and song credits on the back cover. Speaking of the cover, this graded at G+ because of the chunk missing in the upper right, the fraying and the possible attempt at punch holes? Please look at the pictures. Miraculously NO SPLITS! a plus for sure. The record visually grades at VG+, there are some minor scuffs through out, but it plays EXCELLENT so this is a very strong VG+. Please listen to a clip. It's the first cut called "Too Many Changes." Low starting bid. No reserve. International bidders please read the instructions below carefully. Due to the rarity of this LP, it will ship priority only.
International bidders- I do not change values on customs labels, and I may not be able to track in all places. For items over $50.00 I ship priority only. If item goes for over $50.00 PLEASE WAIT FOR INVOICE!!
I can combine shipping! Many times it means I can ship up to 3 LP's U.S. for the same cost as one, and possibly more 45's. International bidders - Combined shipping will be only based on weight, so I will need to know how many items are bought before sending invoice. Thanks again!!
VJ'S VINYL GRADING SYSTEM:
Mint - never used, once a record is opened, the top you can get is mint minus. Mint Minus - A great record, one or two fine hairline scuffs, sounds flawless. A mint minus record can "play" mint. Covers are new looking, may have shrink. Excellent - Can have faint hairline scuffs that do no affect play. Can have very minor infrequent crackling. Minor bumps in the cover. VG+ - Scuffs can be more prevalent, with a little more surface noise. If it visually has more scuffs but plays great, I will note that. Still, a very fine and playable copy. Covers have minor age and shelf wear. VG - Can have lots of hairline scuffs, and maybe one or two scratches. Surface noise more prevalent with some popping in spots. Covers have more extensive age and shelf wear. Minor splits. VG minus - More in the way of scratches and surface noise is NOT infrequent. Still, a viable copy. Covers may have splits. G+ - only reserved for a very rare or popular record. Very noisy, maybe some skips, scratches are evident. Covers are trashed. STILL SEALED - I will grade the vinyl as "still sealed." That means it's probably mint minus, but I do not know if there was any factory defects. Hairline scuffs - are light yet visible. You cannot feel them with the skin of your finger. (I cannot fathom feeling it with your fingernail as described in Goldmine...why would you do that?) Scratches you can feel. If I am on the fence between grades, I will go with the lower one. I will not use VG++ etc., but will say that a record is a "strong" VG+. "Age wear" on a cover is either fading or yellowing. "Shelf wear" is ring wear, corner bumps, or fraying.
