My vinyl record rating guide:          vinyl  /  sleeve

NMINT-         outstanding gloss, should have no surface scuffing at all  /  strong spine with clear, legible print, should be close to perfect

EX                 outstanding gloss, a few light superficial surface scuffs, should play great with crisp, clear analog sound and the possibility of a little light background noise familiar to vinyl lovers most likely during the dead wax spots between tracks  /  strong spine with clear, legible print, may have a little light age wear to the cover or the corners

VG+              superb gloss, some light superficial surface scuffing, should play great with crisp, clear analog sound and some light occasional background noise possible  /  strong spine but the print may be compromised somewhat, some light age wear, but no seam splits or writing on the jacket unless noted in the description

VG                nice gloss, multiple light superficial surface scuffs, should still play well but with a little more background noise possible, should still be an enjoyable listening experience and I will usually play rate these and make it known on the listing  /  cover should be functional but may have some seam splits or writing, I will note all splits or writing in the description

GOOD          good gloss, numerous scuffs, should play though but will have background noise, I will play rate these to make sure that the record plays through without skips, I will not list a record that skips, there may be a "click" on a few rotations, but I will note these in the description, I usually only list records that are more collectable at this rating  /  cover should be functional but will have some seam splits or writing, I will note all splits or writing in the description

FAIR             I will only list these records if they are highly collectable and will describe each one individually

NOTE:           Be sure to check my other auctions, I am selling from my personal collection some great 50's, 60's and 70's jazz and jazz related LPs over the next few weeks, including a great signed original copy of the 511 Ohio Penitentiary jazz ensemble that will the first listed copy on eBay in a few years, plus other nuggets from the recent past. Good luck and happy hunting!

ARTIST(s):    Ohio Penitentiary 511 Jazz Ensemble

TITLE:           Hard Luck Soul 

LABEL:         1971 Aragorn records private release with no catalog number.

COVER:        VG+              (still partially in the original shrink wrap, original owner cut a square piece of the shrink on the back of the jacket so the musicians could sign, ten of the twelve artists signed including Logan Rollins (Sonny's cousin) one of two members that could read and write music. Light age and shelf wear, tiny bit of flaking on the top of the top seam near the spine, and a little bit of dirt has made its way inside the shrink wrap, I believe if you removed the shrink it would clean up nicely.)

VINYL:           VG+               (superb gloss, plays great with crisp, clean analog sound and tremendous fidelity and a minimal bit of light occasional BG noise including a few light "clicks" on side two at the end of track one. All opened LPs cleaned on my VPI vacuum cleaner. I listened to both sides of this tremendous LP and it is an outstanding listening experience. VPI style sleeve included.)

NOTE:          This copy of this LP is the first original listed in 3 years on eBay, it is an extremely rare private press and an outstanding spiritual / latin / soul jazz LP.

Thanks and happy hunting! Steve
