DESCRIPTION:

ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND

AT THE FILLMORE EAST LIVE DOUBLE LP SET

CAPRICORN PRESSING

GATEFOLD COVER Vinyl Condition = VG+

Cover = G

Detailed Condition:

At the Fillmore East: I have not personally listened to all four sides of this LP set. I placed LPs on my turntable and tested a few sample areas and I only noted very little surface noise. Visually, the vinyls look really good; very close to a NM- grading but since I have not heard them all in their entirety I am downgrading to a VG+ rating. I rate this set of LPs as Very Good Plus (VG+).  The LP cover is the gatefold style and it is in below average condition; average wear and tear and color looks good; but significant seam splitting on top of jacket has downgraded cover to a Good rating. Based on the Cover Grading Classification criteria listed below, I rate this LP cover as Good (G).

Inner sleeves not significant, they are plain white paper type sleeves.

Label:  Album Name; Label

At the Fillmore East; Capricorn

Grading Classification:

I do my best to be fair and honest with my record grading assessment.  I will provide as much detail as possible to give potential buyers everything they need to know about the product(s) you are bidding on. Therefore; I grade my LP vinyl and jackets/inner sleeves separately to provide the most accurate description of all the contents. I have developed a detailed grading system for both the LP record and the jacket. If the inner sleeve has significance it will be noted.  I inspect and grade all vinyl by either listening to or visually inspecting under bright lighting. Questionable marks are played to ensure no skipping. Major anomalies will be noted.

Vinyl Grading Classification:

-->Still Sealed (SS) = Sealed in original shrink wrap. Anomalies (Saw cuts, cut-out holes, creases, etc.) will be noted.

-->Near Mint (NM) = A superb LP record that is nearly perfect. Shiny, no visible defects, appears to be brand new, except without the shrink wrap. A good description of a NM record is “it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time.”  

-->Near Mint Minus (NM-) = An LP record that is very close to (NM). No signs of wear. Very minor defects are allowed.

-->Very Good Plus (VG+) = An LP record that has been played, but well cared for.  It may show light wear, such as light scratches or scuffs which have little or no effect on the listening experience.

-->Very Good (VG) = An LP record that exhibits obvious signs of use. Limited scuffs and scratches causing moderate surface noise that will be evident upon playing.  There will be light scratches which will affect the sound quality. Defects should not overpower the music and it should be a fairly pleasant listening experience.

-->Very Good Minus (VG-) = An LP record considered acceptable. The record will play through but will exhibit significant surface noise and scratches.  Well used vinyl.

-->Good (G) = An LP record marginally acceptable. LP exhibits visible scratches, some skips/jumps and bad surface noise.

I do not sell records below a “Good” rating.

Cover Grading Classification:

-->Near Mint (NM) = LP cover has no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable defects. No cut-out holes, either. The same is true for any inserts, posters, lyric sleeves and the like.

-->Very Good Plus (VG+) = LP cover may have slight signs of wear and may also be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.  Inner sleeve and will have some moderate wear, and may have lightly turned up corners.

-->Very Good (VG) = LP cover may have light to moderate ring wear, some tape, stickers, glue, writing, a small seam split, but not all of these defects. Too many of these types of defects will degrade the cover to a Good (G) classification.

-->Good (G) = LP cover shows signs of significant wear that includes seam splits (especially at the bottom or on the spine) and worn corners. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.

-->Fair (F) = LP cover that barely holds and protects the record. LP cover may include (but not all) the following defects: marred by wear, writing, water damage, seam splits on all three sides, inner sleeve seams splits, crinkled and written upon. If it is a common LP cover/sleeve, you'll need to find another copy in better shape to replace it.

Shipping:  

(Please Read)

USA Domestic: .

 International: I am willing to ship parcels internationally. However, there are some risks/costs considerations that should be identified with overseas shipments: I can ship either Priority Mail Insured or 1st Class International; it is up to the buyer to decide which method is preferred. If you select Priority Mail Insured, the cost for a single LP will be approximately $50 ($30 Canada). This is recommended if your parcel exceeds a $50 value. If you select 1st Class International the cost will be around $20 ($12 Canada) for a single LP. The risk with 1st Class International shipping is that there is NO USPS shipment tracking service available.  So if the parcel is delayed in the international customs department I will have no status of the shipment. Also, the international buyer will need to agree to accept all risk of loss or damage associated with 1st Class International Shipping.  In short, most shipments with a parcel value under $50 usually will ship 1st Class International, and any parcel in excess of $50 should be shipped Priority Mail Insured. Ultimately, I will need the buyer to decide and let me know how to proceed. If you win the bid, please wait for the Invoice so I can accurately provide the shipping total to you. I will not charge you more than the USPS fee.

Note: Check out my other similar listings! If you win multiple listings please wait for the invoice so I can reduce shipping costs. I charge $1.00 for each additional LP and only 0.50 for each LP thereafter. Thanks.

Packaging:

LPs will be boxed carefully in a corrugated box made specifically for LPs to protect the cover.  LP will include a clear plastic outer LP sleeve. LPs will be removed from cover for shipping to prevent seam splitting (unless sealed).
