A NOTE ABOUT GRADING

All records are graded using the 'Goldmine' grading system, applied conservatively. Grading is as follows:

M = MINT. Absolutely perfect in every way - never played. I rarely use this grade.

NM = NEAR MINT. A nearly perfect record. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. The LP jacket should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other signs of use. The same should be true of inserts, lyric sheets, posters, etc.

NM- = NEAR MINT MINUS. This is a grade of my own devising. The record will show signs that it was played, but rarely. Record surfaces may have very light needle trails or very light scuffs, but NO scratches or warps. The LP jacket may have very light wear, but NO cut-out holes, cut corners or saw cuts.

VG+ = VERY GOOD PLUS. The record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner(s) who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs, very light scratches or slight warps that don't affect the listening experience. The LP jacket may have some signs of wear and may be marred by a cut-out hole/cut corner/saw cut.

VG = VERY GOOD. Many of the condition issues found on a VG+ record will be more pronounced on a VG record. Some surface noise may be evident upon playing. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches (deep enough to be felt with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. LP jackets may have writing, tape or stickers/labels/tags. Other signs of wear may also be evident.

VG- = VERY GOOD MINUS. Similar to a VG record, but with more obvious condition issues. Surface noise from light scratches or groove wear will be present, but the record will not have skips. LP jackets will have multiple signs of wear. Not collectible, but may serve as a play copy.


Item Description:

ILL WIND: 'Flashes' LP

ABC 641 LP, made in US, not dated (1968). Album is visually graded.

Record: VG, with light to moderate sleeve scuff/needle trails; no scratches. Would benefit from a cleaning. Labels have some light spindle marks.
Cover: VG-, with fairly heavy ring/edge/corner wear and a little splitting on the bottom edge in the corners.

This is a copy of the 1968 debut album by the group The Ill Wind, entitled 'Flashes'. Ill Wind was one of the more interesting bands to emerge from Boston's folk- psych movement of the late-60's. The album was produced by Tom Wilson, who's production credits include Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, Velvet Underground, Mothers of Invention, Soft Machine and more. A good play copy for the budget conscious psych collector.
