JONI MITCHELL

BLUE

REPRISE

K44128

A1/B1 matrices

This first UK pressing has tan 'riverboat' labels without a small WB logo in perimeter text at right.

This issue has dark blue hessian textured gatefold sleeve.

Plain blue inner sleeve

Tan riverboat reprise labels.

This release does not have 'Made In The UK' on the label at all.

I’ve graded this very harshly. It plays beautifully but there are some scuffs to the record that I’ve picked out in the last photo. They look terrible but they don’t sound - that I could hear.

The cover is not minty but it’s got a lovely lustre and a very nice inside.

The very thin, shiny blue paper inner has NO splits, which is amazing.

The labels are almost EX+

GRADING GUIDE

Near Mint (NM or M-)

Vinyl: A nearly perfect record. A NM- record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve will have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. An LP cover will have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. The same will be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.

EXCELLENT = Not quite NM but better than VG+

It will have very minor signs of play, with light sleeve removal scratches that don’t affect the sound. Maybe one or two spindle tracks. The odd light scuff to the cover edges.

Very Good Plus (VG+)

Vinyl: A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner.

Very Good (VG)

Vinyl: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers.
