Disc 1: Very Good Plus

Disc 2: Very Good

Sleeve: Very Good Minus [split seams]

This ones got protest in its blood and poetry in its bones : Chords of Fame by Phil Ochs, 1976 US gatefold double LP on A&M. First discs VG plus, second ones VG, both visually graded and still carrying the weight of every cigarette he ever smoked in a Greenwich Village basement. The sleeves seen better days - split seams, bit of wear, but holding together, call it VG minus - but that just makes it feel more like something passed hand to hand between old radicals.

VINYL GRADING:
NM (Near Mint): Pretty much like a new LP but it isn't sealed.
VG+ (Very Good Plus): Shows some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
VG (Very Good): May exhibit minor surface marks with some mild surface noise that does not affect or overpower the music.
VG- (Very Good Minus): Readily playable but may have numerous light scratches or marks that will affect music quality.
G (Good): Heavier wear and surface noise, but will still play.

COVER (SLEEVE) GRADING:
NM: Like new.
VG+: May have light corner bumps or very minor scuffmarks.
VG: Rougher corners, creasing to cover and may have some light splitting at the seams and ringwear with possible light tape repair.
VG-: Heavier tape repair, split seams, significant ringwear - defects described under VG are exacerbated.
G: Not really good enough - significant tears, water damage, stains etc.

NOTE: Order will be cancelled if there is no payment within 7 days of order.
