Item Description:

THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND: 'Idlewild South' LP

Atco SD 33-342 LP, made in US, 1970. Album is play graded.

Record: VG+, with a few very light superficial marks and some light scuffs/needle trails; no warps, skips or other visible signs of wear. Light noise in some spots; nothing drastic. Would really benefit from a good cleaning. Labels have a few light spindle marks.
Cover: VG-, with light to moderate ring wear, some edge/corner wear and damage from a prior knuckle-headed owner who stuck a bunch of push-pins through the cover (see photos).

This is a copy of The Allman Brothers' classic second album 'Idlewild South'. A great great great album, with "Midnight Rider". 

This copy is an original 1970 pressing on Atco with the 1841 Broadway address (1A/2C matrixes) and textured cover. Not in collectible condition, but with a cleaning, it should shape up into a very nice play copy.

A NOTE ABOUT GRADING

All records are graded using the 'Goldmine' grading system, applied conservatively. Grading is as follows:

M = MINT. Absolutely perfect in every way - never played. I rarely use this grade.

NM = NEAR MINT. A nearly perfect record. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. The LP jacket should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other signs of use. The same should be true of inserts, lyric sheets, posters, etc.

NM- = NEAR MINT MINUS. This is a grade of my own devising. The record will show signs that it was played, but rarely. Record surfaces may have very light needle trails or very light scuffs, but NO scratches or warps. The LP jacket may have very light wear, but NO cut-out holes, cut corners or saw cuts.

VG+ = VERY GOOD PLUS. The record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner(s) who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs, very light scratches or slight warps that don't significantly affect the listening experience. The LP jacket may have some signs of wear and may be marred by a cut-out hole/cut corner/saw cut.

VG = VERY GOOD. Many of the condition issues found on a VG+ record will be more pronounced on a VG record. Some surface noise will be evident upon playing. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches (deep enough to be felt with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. LP jackets may have writing, tape or stickers/labels/tags. Other signs of wear may also be evident.

VG- = VERY GOOD MINUS. Similar to a VG record, but with more obvious condition issues. Surface noise from light scratches or groove wear will be present, but the record will not have skips. LP jackets will have multiple signs of wear. Not collectible, but may serve as a play copy.
