NOSFERATU RECORDS

This record has been in my collection for many years. I am a record collector, not a dealer.

MICHAEL THIERFELDER vocal / CHRISTIAN FELKE sax & flute / MICHAEL KESSLER bass
REINHARD GROHE organ / MICHAEL MEIXNER guitar / BYALLY BRAUMANN drums

Track listing:

HIGHWAY / WILLIE THE FOX / FOUND MY HOME / NO.4 / WORK DAY / VANITY FAIR

Grading:

Record: Side 1: Looks EX++, plays EX++. Side 2: Looks EX, a couple of visible hairlines, plays EX++ as well!

Cover: Laminated cover. I will grade it as EX because it has a small "chip" on the right bottom corner. Please see picture. if it wasn't for that, I would grade it EX+.

Named after the vampire from the early expressionist film, Nosferatu were one of the earliest groups
from Germany to explore beyond the conventional beat music and blues into the far more progressive realms
of Krautrock in the late 1960s. The group is also one of the most obscure Krautrock bands, with only
one record to their name and also one of the most over-priced collector's items of the German prog-rock genre.
Some regard it as one of the best heavy progressive records to be made in Germany: i'm sure most will agree
that it contains a raw, rough and heavy prog-style. There were still some beat and psych elements evident
in the music, characteristic of the first wave of German prog-rock in 1969/70

ABSOLUTELY A MUST HAVE!!!

GRADING SCALE

Mint (M): The record , cover and all inserts are in absolutely perfect condition. If there is even one flaw, such as the cover photo being crooked, the record is M- or Near Mint at best. We do not use this grade, even for sealed/new records.

Mint - (M-): The highest grade I use, as we believe there are no such things as “Mint” records. Full vinyl gloss. Label not faded. No signs of wear on disc or cover.

Excellent ++ (EX++): Not quite M-, may have literally one or two very minor flaws; ONE light paper scuff; small writing on label and/or cover; dinged corner; etc.

Excellent + (EX+): Slightly better than EX. Has a few very minor flaws.

Excellent (EX): Better than average. Has a few minor flaws, very minor label wear. Very little or no lessening of sound quality. The cover may have slight wear or creasing.

Excellent - (EX-): A bit better than average. Light scuffing, a few very light scratches (“needle scuffs”); little deterioration in sound. The cover may have a small seam split. Ring wear and/or seam wear may be more prominent

Very Good ++ (VG++): Not quite EX-; slight scuffing and possibly some graying in the grooves. No major deterioration in sound quality.

Very Good + (VG+): Only slightly better than average condition; the record has obviously been played. Light scuffs and some light scratches (“needle scuffs”) are visible. Only slight deterioration/distortion in sound.

Very Good (VG): Average condition. Used but not abused. Scratches and hiss can be heard upon playback. Normal wear and tear on cover will be present in the way of split seams/spine or moderate to heavy ring wear. Generally worth 50% of Mint condition value.

Very Good - (VG-): Just slightly less than average, still a good record to play. Has numerous scratches and scuffs; a few “clicks” or “pops” and hiss will be heard upon playback. This is usually the lowest grade we use on eBay.

Good + (G+): Good plus is just slightly better than Good. Sound quality is noticeably deteriorated.

Good (G): Good is less than average. Has little or no original gloss, graying grooves, and heavy scratches, many of which are heard upon playback. Continual surface noise will be heard.

Good - (G-):Less than Good. Record possibly/probably skips.

Fair: Bad. Possibly unplayable. Collection gap-filler.

Poor: Usually cracked or broken, it is usually only good to fill a gap in a collection until a better one comes along. With very few exceptions (like a Robert Johnson 78 on Vocalion) Poor records are virtually worthless.

USA: $7 for the first LP (Priority) + $1 each additional. (Media mail option USA only: $4 for unlimited items)
