Bee Gees - Odessa - ATCO (SD-702) 1969 - VG-/VG Velour

$

25

I am liquidating a collection of vinyl. I need to make some space for other toys so an extensive record collection must go. Add me as a favorite seller to check out my ongoing auctions.

Cover - VG-
Vinyl - VG

Original 1969 ATCO release of The Bee Gees' "Odessa" (SD2-702).

Cover - great shape with visible ring wear normal for the velour cover
Seams - are outsounding
Spine - is perfect and square
Corners - are tight and square
Insert - is correct for this release.

Visual inspection of the vinyl shows this album to be scuffed but nothing that will impede playback.  The audio on this album is very pleasant and listenable.  There is noise but only in the quiet areas. This album is also suitable for framing and display.

I will happily give any records a spin to check for any imperfections. Unless otherwise noted, the albums should be considered ungraded for audio quality. I attempted to do this for all the albums that I am selling and there is just too much in my collection to take on such a daunting task. All albums will be cleaned in a Spin Clean Record Washer before they are shipped. If you are an audiophile and want a song by song or specific song graded feel free to contact me and will get that posted as soon as possible.

• Mint (M)   Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.(More on still sealed under "Other Considerations"). Should be used sparingly as a grade, If at all.
• Near Mint (NM or M-)   A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly)that no record is ever truly perfect. 
  
  The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling. 
  
  An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like. 
  
  Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap. 
  
  
• Very Good Plus (VG+)   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. 
  
  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". 
  
  The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. 
  
  Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. 
  
  In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.
  
  
• Very Good (VG)   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. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them. 
  
  
• Good (G), Good Plus (G+)   Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). 
  
  A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. 
  
  
• Poor (P), Fair (F)   The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled, and written upon. 

I prefer to ship using media mail from the USPS. I have rarely found that to be over $4.00. All items are shipped with in a custom album shipping package with vinyl record protector and cardboard on the top and bottom for protection. A $2.00 charge will be added to all the shipping cost to cover the cost of the packaging. If the winner desires a different shipping method, the buyer will only be charged actual shipping for any method they choose plus $2.00 handling to cover the cost of the packaging. I can combine shipping for multiple items purchased at $1.00 per additional album purchased. Please feel free to contact me for a quote.
