El Saturn was not a label known for high quality pressing or vinyl. Almost all records on the label play with some surface noise even when new and frequently do not play up to visual grade. I have pointed out any that were particularly poor pressings. In addition, many records on the label are of sub par recording quality.
The record looks VG++. Pressing is average with light to moderate noise and record plays VG+ on quiet parts to VG++ on loud passages. Side 1 has a dig on Track 2 that causes app 6 light ticks. Side 2 has a small, app 1/4 to 1/2 inch light circular hairline mark on Track 3 that did not affect play. Grooves do not show wear or damage.
The cover is strong VG+.
The front cover has moderate wear, heavy ring wear at bottom and denting at the bottom of the spine. The back cover has moderate wear with hint of ring wear at the top. No split seams. Bottom seam has heavy wear spots at the bottom of pocket where there is denting which is visible on the back. Spots of wear and denting at the other corners. Spine is intact and readable but printed upside down.
Black lines that might be visible at bottom left and top right in pictures are due to photo cropping and not on record.
I WILL NOT END AUCTIONS EARLY. PLEASE DO NOT ASK.
My highest grade is M- and I rarely grade 50s or 60s records M-. Records are graded visually using the Goldmine system. M-, VG++, VG+, VG, VG- etc. I play grade any potential problem areas. I attempt to grade conservatively, listing all significant flaws. You will be satisfied. No hassles.
