Lamanite Vinyl LP OG US 1976 Press VG+/VG Psych Rock Desert City Records. Record looks mostly clean but does have a few blemishes present and will play with some mild surface noise. Sleeve shows lots of aging on both sides, also has edge and light ring wear. Cover artwork looks great for it’s age however. We use the Goldmine Grading Standard for the condition of all vinyl. Here are the descriptions. Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. And is used used sparingly as a grade. A nearly perfect record. And is record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. Should show no obvious signs of wear. Very Good Plus (VG+). A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don’t affect one’s listening experiences. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and “ticks” will almost certainly accompany the playback. Thanks for checking us out!
