Bad Company Straight Shooter Vinyl LP - Swan Song SS 8502 VG++/NM First Pressing (1975) Good Lovin' Gone Bad, Feel Like Makin' Love, Shooting Star
Condition: VG++ (EX) Vinyl and Near MintCover. Vinyl was play-tested on both sides and plays beautifully throughout with good fidelity and no issues. Original cover is strong with great color, still has gloss and strong corners, no shelf wear, and no splits or writing. Includes original inner sleeve with color photos.
Straight Shooter is the second album by Bad Company. The album was released on April 1975, a month after the release of the album's first single, "Good Lovin' Gone Bad", and four months before the second single, "Feel Like Makin' Love."
The album reached number 3 on both the UK Albums Chart and the US Billboard 200. It was certified gold by the RIAA a month after its release. The track "Shooting Star" (written by lead singer Paul Rodgers) was lyrically inspired by the drug and alcohol-related deaths of guitarist Jimi Hendrix and other rock musicians.

I use the Goldmine Grading System, and play-test all records. I note any differences between vinyl and cover, and make note of any inserts, special sleeves, or potential defects.

MINT (M) - Absolutely perfect in every way. Most often this is a still sealed record, records that have been opened are rarely if ever marked as Mint.

NEAR MINT (NM) - A good description is that it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time. In other words, it?s nearly perfect, with no visible defects. 

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) - Except for a couple minor things, this could be Near Mint. Most collectors will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if on the high end (VG++). VG+ records may show slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Covers should have only minor wear. 

VERY GOOD (VG) - VG records are among the biggest bargains, and for many, will be worth the money. They can lack the original gloss, may have surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages. But the noise will not overpower the music. VG covers will have signs of handling, and may have minor splits. 

GOOD PLUS (G+) - Good+ does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, but it has significant surface noise and groove wear. Cover may have significant ring wear, noticeable writing, or obvious damage.

GOOD (G) - Record may have some skipping, but is otherwise listenable. I generally avoid selling Good (G) rated records unless they are highly collectible or desirable, in order to enjoy until something better comes along. Cover has major wear or seam splits that need repair, or heavy writing like radio station call letters to prevent theft.
