THE BLOSSOM TOES - If Only for a Moment - Original1969 Marmalade; 1st Pressing 608010 A//2; B//3. For Blossom Toes buffs, this in my mind was them at their best, I saw them at Ewell tech and then Plumpton Jazz and Blues Festival, for me their ultimate album. I enjoyed when bought in 1969 and still enjoy it today. Jim Cregan went on to spend many years playing and touring with Cockney Rebel.
Matrix and stamp: Side 1; 608010 A//3 1 1 3 Side 2; 608010 B//2 1 1 2
The vinyl does have some very minor scuffs and a couple of hairline scratches, but plays exceptionally well throughout. In terms of condition rating - I am no expert, the records have been cleaned with wet wipes and was played on a Technics turntable using a new Technics P24 stylus. The overall vinyl condition I would say is Very good+, maybe better, based on the above and that the vinyl looks very clean with some surface marks, the centre is clean with virtually no spindle marks (see photos) The record plays exceptionally well throughout with a good depth of sound with hardly any background noise that virtually disappears if 'Dolby Mute' is used. The sleeve has some to wear and tear, and has some crease marks were the laminate has shrunk and I would also grade its overall condition as VG.
I have tried to grade using the Record Collectors Grading, as below: Excellent (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
Very Good (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
Good (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc. Delivery is by signed Royal Mail, 2/3 days
