ARTIST: ARCADIUM

TITLE: Breathe awhile

 

LABEL: MIDDLE EARTH MDLS 302

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: UNITED KINGDOM

YEAR OF RELEASE: 1969

MATRIX CODE SIDE A: MDLS 302 A2 (Stamped)

MATRIX CODE SIDE B: MDLS 302 B3 (Stamped)

CONDITION: (vinyl/cover) VG/VG ***VERY GOOD COPY!*** (Please read detailed information below!)

COVER; The cover has a few light creases and some wear at the opening, but more than decent as a whole and VERY GOOD.

VINYL; The vinyl has some light hairlines and a few non-feelable scuffs under strong light, visually VERY GOOD.  A rather nice copy for half the price of a MINT-example.

LABELS; Both labels are clean with just a few faint spindlemarks.

I use GOLDMINE GRADING STANDARDS – MINT/NEAR MINT/VERY GOOD PLUS/VERY GOOD/GOOD/POOR. The grading MINT (M) is hardly ever used - and at that umcommon occasion - NOT used improperly. NEAR MINT (NM) means NEAR MINT both visually and audible! VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) is the same as EXCELLENT (EX) in other grading systems. My ambition is to provide an as accurate description as possible and I do not try hide any defects or other flaws on the record and cover. MY GRADING IS STRICT and winning bidder ALWAYS has full refund minus shipping costs! PLEASE E-MAIL IF ANY CONCERNS!

___________________________________________________________________________

GOLDMINE GRADING STANDARDS


MINT ---- It should appear to be perfect. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains, labels or writing, tears or splits. Mint means perfect.


NEAR MINT ---- Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly.


VERY GOOD PLUS ---- The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully. Not too far from perfect. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original lustre may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors.


VERY GOOD ---- Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl lustre, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, but should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.


GOOD ---- Well played with little lustre and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record should still play all the way through without skipping. Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not obliterate the artwork.


POOR ---- Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above "Good" grading should be seen as Poor. Several cover flaws
