My vinyl record rating guide:          vinyl  /  sleeve

NMINT-         outstanding gloss, should have no surface scuffing at all  /  strong spine with clear, legible print, should be close to perfect

EX                 outstanding gloss, a few light superficial surface scuffs, should play great with crisp, clear analog sound and the possibility of a little light background noise familiar to vinyl lovers most likely during the dead wax spots between tracks  /  strong spine with clear, legible print, may have a little light age wear to the cover or the corners

VG+              superb gloss, some light superficial surface scuffing, should play great with crisp, clear analog sound and some light occasional background noise possible  /  strong spine but the print may be compromised somewhat, some light age wear, but no seam splits or writing on the jacket unless noted in the description

VG                nice gloss, multiple light superficial surface scuffs, should still play well but with a little more background noise possible, should still be an enjoyable listening experience and I will usually play rate these and make it known on the listing  /  cover should be functional but may have some seam splits or writing, I will note all splits or writing in the description

GOOD          good gloss, numerous scuffs, should play though but will have background noise, I will play rate these to make sure that the record plays through without skips, I will not list a record that skips, there may be a "click" on a few rotations, but I will note these in the description, I usually only list records that are more collectable at this rating  /  cover should be functional but will have some seam splits or writing, I will note all splits or writing in the description

FAIR             I will only list these records if they are highly collectable and will describe each one individually

ARTIST(s):    The Who 

TITLE:           The Who  (second album)

LABEL:         1966 Polydor records release 623 025  (pressed in Italy)

COVER:        EX  (laminated clarifoil style cover, extremely light shelf wear, fantastic Ralph Steadman unique art cover)  

VINYL:          EX  (superb gloss, plays great with crisp, clean analog sound, and tremendous fidelity. All records cleaned with my VPI record cleaner.)

NOTE:          This LP was last sold on eBay in 2017, and I would argue that it is much rarer than the Beatles "butcher block" album. It has 5 P 1966 L6 oV 623025A  stamped on side one and 5 P L6 oV 623025B stamped on side two. This is an excellent copy of this rare, fantastic LP with an outstanding piece of Ralph Steadman cover art included.

Thanks and happy hunting! Steve
