** CLASSIC JANIS JOPLIN ALBUM - USA 1970 PRESSING ON RED COLUMBIA LABEL  **

An Excellent condition disc. Shiny lustrous vinyl. Hardly any marks at all can be seen on this LP in a normal light. There are a couple of very fine hairline marks which can only be seen under a very strong light, where the record has been taken out of the sleeve over the years. These cause no sound issues whatsoever. No visible spindle marks. Very clean labels on both sides. Original STEREO mixes of both sides. No skips, jumps, warps, sticking, scratches, scuffs or writing on labels. Excellent sound quality throughout, with very little surface noise anywhere. A very listenable LP. Tested on a Thorens turntable.

Gatefold Sleeve in Very Good+ condition. Some minor general wear - mainly to edges and corners. No creasing. No seam splits. Name written in top left of the front sleeve. Spine in fair condition with all text still clearly legible.

Supplied in plain white inner sleeve, which has some age-related discolouration.

GRADING:

All records are graded using the 'Record Collector' format:

MINT (M): The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR (F): The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR (P): The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD (B): The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
