Key Details
Artist: Lee Morgan
Album: The Sidewinder
Label: Blue Note BST 84157
Pressing Detail: Plastylite "P" Ear, Stereo, INC R USA
Condition: VG (Very Good)
Item Description
Vinyl Condition: The LP is in VG condition, with no seam splits. It does have a few feelable marks. The spine is in great shape and is fully legible.
Playback: Upon playing through three times, the only noticeable issue was a single pop in the middle of the "Sidewinder" track, with no skips on my player. A great sounding copy and an excellent starter copy as this auction will likely not fetch a high amount.
Sold As Is: Due to the aforementioned pop during the sidewinder track, I will be selling this as is.
Collector's Note
This iconic jazz album is a must-have for enthusiasts, offering an authentic slice of Lee Morgan's brilliance, despite the minor imperfection.
Very Good (VG)
Many of the imperfections found on a VG+ record are more obvious on a VG record. That said, VG records — which usually sell for no more than 25 percent of a NM record — are among the biggest bargains in record collecting, because most of the “big money” goes for more perfect copies. For many listeners, a VG record or sleeve will be worth the money.
VG records have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise.
Minor writing, tape or a sticker can detract from the label. Many collectors who have jukeboxes will use VG records in them and not think twice. They remain a fine listening experience, just not the same as if it were in better shape.
VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or it or stamped a price tag on it, too.
