Recently I've sold a few albums over the past month from my grandfather's collection. Thousands of records that were once apart of a local record store. However this record was not his or mine but was a mutual friend, gramp's best friend. They knew each other since they0 were both kids. They both had a favorite group-THE ALLMAN BROTHERS.SO AM I BUT IT ISNT SOLELY ALLMAN THOUGH.CCR,BEATLES,METALLICA,QUEEN,AEROSMITH,CREAM...ETC.
AS YOU SEE IN THE PICS THE SHRINK IS STILL ATTACHED BUT YOU CAN OPEN THE GATEFOLD.■■■
■BUD,OUR FRIEND(RIP), HAD AN AFFINITY FOR ALBUMS LEFT IN SHRINK. I CANT RECALL ANY ALBUM HE HAD THAT DIDNT HAVE IT1
HE WOULD USE THAT YELLOW, JAUNDICE COLORED TAP TO STICK THE TOP/BOTTOM SHRINKS TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES. IT DID the job BEAUTIFULLY up un TIL his death.SEEING THAT UGLY TAPE IN ANY ALBUM MAKES ME GO CRAZY,CLEAR TAPE IS OK...BUT YELLOW IS SO OBVIOUS.
My PAWPAW GAVE ME PERMISION to go with my method for holding the shrink.
So one day hours after peeling off all that yellow tape I was able to use a scotch double adhesive roll to stick those sides together. Some shrink ripped in some places as a result of my removing of the JAUNDICE. I THINK IT IS NOT really noticeable due to the fact that I used this adhesive ROLL rather than tape. I HAVE FOUND THAT FROM EXPERIENCE...THAT IF YOU REMOVE SHRINK FROM COVER /WIPE ADHESIVE AWAY **GENTLY ** WITH SOFT CLOTH AND RUBBING ALCOHOL.
I USE THIS SCOTCH ROLL ON ALL MY ALBUMS INSTEAD OF TAPE.
If you knew my good ole 'BUD" you would have seen an IMMACULATE Collection of vinyl. Don't get me wrong though he didn't have all near mint but
..what he had....I'm talkin HE HAD UPPER ECHELON QUALITY RECORDS.; HIS COLLECTION is one that MOST AUDIOPHILES would swoon over. Ok maybe not a zealot that cries over a little damaged corner or a few scuff marks.
Everthing he had beside his sealed albums he would call VERY GOOD....TO HIM-VG+ & ECCELLENT ...HE COULD NOT CORRELATE . EXCELLENT AND VERY GOOD, WHICH ARE WORDS USED TO DESCRIBE A NOUN, MEAN THE 'SAME' . AND ONCE YOU STOP SND THINK ABOUT IT ->>[VERY GOOD +] JUST SOUNDS PLAIN SILLY.
^^ HE DIDNT GRADE THE COVERS BECAUSE HE VIEWED THE ALBUM AS ONE ENTITY♤■■RECORD AND COVER =1 ALBUM
BUD' ALREADY HAD THIS GRADED FOR ME AND FOR ALL OF YOU."VERY GOOD" is this albums grade .
Hopefully this description ALONG WITH MY VARIATION OF MEDIOCRE PHOTOS helps YOU IN DECIDING IF THIS ALBUM MERITS OR LACKS THE QUALITY THAT YOUR SEARCHING FOR.
The pictures of the edge rub,WEAR ON"" THE """OF THE BAND TITLE( ON THE SPINE) AND SIDE 3 LABEL WITH ITS DISCOLORATION OF THE TOP ARCH AND ITS SPINDLE WEAR ARE THE SEVERIST OF FLAWS. PLEASE ZOOM IN ON THE FRONT COVER PIC"THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER" LIKE I SAID EARLIER ABOUT RIPPING SHRINK WHILR REMOVING TAP.----IT RIPPED FROM CORNER TO CORNER BUT NOT EVENLY AS ONE CAN SEE.
I think most of yall that PREFER LPS THAT ARE A "STRONG->>>VERY GOOD" AND ANY GRADE HIGHE SHOULD BE THRILLED. If i didnt have two of this same album....there is no way i would sell this.
I FEEL THAT many WILL AGREE WITH this and some may even THINK ITS A HIGHER GRADE.
THANKS FOR LOOKING
