Here's a rarity!  The Trashmen with the 1964 LP called Surfin' Bird.  On Garrett Records LPGA 200. MONO. Distributed by SOMA Recording Co. This is one of the misprints.  It's on the back cover.  Side one on the cover shows #1 as Surfin' Bird and #2 King of the Surf.  But the record label/LP shows it as #1 Surfin' Bird, but #2 Misirlou.  But it's not only those.  The rest of the songs don't all match the label.  Some do, but not all.  The red label is actually what the songs really are on the LP when played, not the back cover.
Front cover has some pen circles at the bottom right corner area and what looks like the name WARREN at the left upper side of the front cover in black marker.  A tiny little tear at the right upper side, but it didn't even go through the cover.  The corner sides look pretty good. Comes in a plain beige inner sleeve.  The LP photos you can even see all the scratches at the top of the LP, but they are all over. Amazingly when I played it through, no skips or pops.  Some like 'tics' did show up during quiet times, but not too much at all.  And here is a 95-second audio/video recording of several sections of the first side so you can hear the sound quality. See if you can hear any tics even! 

I rate the cover as Very Good (VG) only due to the name and pen circles on it.  The vinyl gets a Very Good (VG) only due to the many surface scratches (which did not cause problems!) and a Very Good Plus (VG+ to maybe even Excellent for sound quality being from 1964.  But maybe different turntables could sound different for this.     __________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Guidelines I use to rate the quality of these records (based on the Goldmine Grading Guide):

NM:Near Mint - Vinyl, still shiny, as if opened for the first time. No writing or stickers on the vinyl. No obvious scratches. Label: No writing or stickers and no fading of the label.

NM-: Near Mint Minus - Similar to NM but will have some very light scratches on the vinyl not affecting the sound quality. No writing or stickers on label and no fading (or ringwear) on cover or label.

EX: Excellent - Not quite a Goldmine Standard Listing, but being used by many now. Cover: No ink wear, minor creases to corners, no seam tears. Vinyl can have scratches, but not felt by your fingers. Sound quality must be mint. No more than 15% of the surface should have wear or scuffs on it. To me, EX is like a VG++.

VG+: Very Good Plus - Similar to NM- except that on the label, there may be a sticker or writing, but it shows very little wear. There may be only a couple light surface scratches on the grooves, but do not affect the playback with noise or skips. You may only see these scratches if you put them under a bright light and really look for them. The cover might have light creasing or minor seam or corner wear, but still in great condition to show off.

VG to VG-: Very Good to Very Good Minus - May not be that shiny anymore and you will see scratches without putting it under a bright light, but they still would not affect the quality of the playback. The sound quality is still pretty good, maybe a little noise, but not enough to detract from the listening experience. The label might have some fading around it, besides having stickers or writing. The cover may have obvious ringwear in the middle or around the perimeter of where the record was, maybe some side seam splits, or little tears at the top or side where the record goes back into. If less defects, then it's a VG. If it has all this just mentioned, then a VG-.

G, G+: Good or Good Plus - It doesn't mean the vinyl is trashed. It plays though without skipping, but may have heavy noise or fuzz sound because of age, quality, or worn-down grooves. Heavy writing or stickers on the label, ringwear is very obvious on label and cover probably has seam splits. But, amazingly, if you have special audio LP recording software, you could probably clean up those crackles and fuzzes, if you want to create a CD of it for yourself.

P: Poor - This is when the vinyl is warped to the point it warps the playback also. Or it's cracked, but it may or may not still play without a skip. If a picture sleeve is with it, this is torn or marked up bigtime. But someone may want to have it for nostalgia or even attempt to fix it.
