Unused VARIOUS ARTIST "Gathering At The Earl of Old Town"
Vinyl LP Reissue You are bidding on one unused CUT-OUT copy of the VARIOUS ARTIST stereo vinyl LP "Gathering At The Earl of Old Town." This is a reissue released in 1976; the album was originally released in 1971 on Dunwich Records with a brown cardboard textured cover. This LP is on Mountain Railroad Records with a flat, color cover. Produced by Jim Post.

The LP and jacket is USED but in excellent condition; we believe the disc is unplayed. (See grading legend below). The disc is considered Near Mint (NM) and is not warped. There are no marks or scratches on either side. The jacket is also Near Mine (NM); it is still in the original shrink-wrap, so there is no ring wear or corner wear in either side. There is a half-inch cut-out slice on the bottom right. The inner sleeve is generic white and solid. The pictures below are of the actual item.

Sold AS-IS. NO RETURNS.

We try to grade the condition of a vinyl record conservatively . Records may be considered flat, or not warped, unless otherwise noted. If one side of a record is in better shape than the other, two grades will appear. Records and covers are graded separately.

M = Mint. In all but the rarest cases, still sealed. If we know that an open record has never been played, and the rating otherwise applies, it will be graded mint.
NM = Near mint, or unplayed condition. Cover is near perfect, new looking, with no surface or ring wear.
EX = Only slight signs of wear; very clean, only light surface marks which do not distract significantly from the sound. Cover has only slight surface wear and is still in nice collectible condition.
VG+ = Evidence of play, with moderate surface wear and some minor noise - still plays well. Cover is solid with no breaks but may have minor surface wear or some ring wear.
VG = Overall wear, but no skips or serious defects. May be somewhat noisy during quiet passages. Cover is worn, with considerable ring wear, and may have partially broken edges.
VG- = Playable, but both the record and cover are well worn.
G or G+ = Poor or Rough condition. Holefiller only!
