 Up for auction we have: Father's Children S/T LP on Mercury SRM 1-3755
VINYL is VG+ with light marks and very light surface sounds... only a few light normal pops. Nice sounding vinyl.  COVER is VG++ in shrink with corner wear and tearing of shrink in lower left corner, and wear to exposed corners at record opening and tearing of shrink in lower right hand corner. No cut out marks. A nice copy.


I thoroughly describe and grade all records that I sell and strive for 100% customer satisfaction.  Please contact me directly with any concerns or problems.

Record grading based on Goldmine standards, but with added NM- and VG++ for records that don't quite fall into either the NM or VG+ category so as not to be over graded:

Mint [M], or Still Sealed [SS]: Only sealed records will be deemed "Mint". 

Near Mint [NM]: The record shows no obvious sign of wear, appearing unplayed. An LP jacket has no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar defect. No cut-out holes, either. Basically, Near Mint looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.

*Near Mint Minus [NM-], and [VG++]: Vinyl shows only faint paper scuffs or pressing scuffs on the surface only. No noise from scuffs will be heard. VG++ is for an LP with only a medium amount of paper scuffs and/or pressing scuffs, still no effect on play.

Very Good Plus [VG+]: Shows some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK yet will be noted. An LP jacket my 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 of minor 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 are more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during the song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will 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+]: 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. A jacket or sleeve has 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]: I do not list records in this category unless exceptionally rare and desirable. They will have skips, cracks and/or noise that prevents the enjoyment of the music.

Please feel free to ask any questions! Thanks!

 Hello. I have been getting some questions about what pressing of this album this is. I know for one that it is NOT a current reissue. I mentioned below in the Q/A session the matrix numbers and that there is an RE at the end. I can't imagine that they repressed this album, because it wasn't a great seller at the time, hence the rarity of it. I am assuming that the RE in the matrix is on all copies that are not PROMO copies, technically making it a 2nd pressing, but I have not been able to confirm this. I am curious and I'm sure certain others are as well. If anyone wants to provide more information I would appreciate it, although I also understand if this information might be a little secret so you can have an advantage on the bidding. Anyways... Good luck, and thanks for the interest in this record!
