PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER).  OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.


WILDLY RARE original Santa Maria first pressing from May, 11974 on Chrysalis' olive green label!!!  LP is VG++ with two light scuffs on side 2.  Cover has a small (less than 1") split at the opening on top and is still in the original shrink wrap!  Incredibly hard to find a first pressing in this condition so don't sleep UFO/Schenker collectors.  This was Michael Schenker's debut with the band and remains one of my favorite UFO LPs of all time with the storming Doctor Doctor & Rock Bottom sitting comfortably alongside bluesier fare like Willie Dixon's Built For Comfort and the criminally underrated Oh My.  Absolutely essential listening for fans of hard classic rock.  You NEED this LP.


I USE GOLDMINE GRADING~ MINT (SEALED)  NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++:  VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE VG+:  AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG:  STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS
GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR:  FILLER COPY ONLY.  LOTS OF SCRATCHES
