Description

The Buckinghams, Portraits, Vinyl LP in Mono, In Shrink Original 1967 Pressing.  Stereo is CS 9598, this is the mono CL 2798.  The jacket is still in the shrink and almost mint with the exception of some light ring wear.  No bends, folds, creases, stains, notches, hole punch, etc on the jacket.  The disc is between a and a .  Maybe some light scuffing.  The disc retains much of its original luster and looks as if it was hardly ever played.  This has to be the nicest one currently available.  It has been listened to and the vinyl sounds clear and audible.  I didn't listen all the way through but the songs I did play I did not hear any hisses or pops.  The band's genre is "sunshine pop", evident of the "hippy era".  Producers suggested they adopt a name reflective of the British invasion, which was popular at the time, and the band adopted the name The Buckinghams. The band liked the name because of its similarity to their hometown landmark Buckingham Fountain in Chicago. This is their third album released in 1967
Mint (M): Perfect in every way, looks to have never been played, should have that look just as it did when you pulled the record from the new cover at the time of original purchase.
Mint Minus (M-): A nearly perfect record and cover. This item should show no readily visible signs of wear, covers and sleeves should have no more than nearly invisible rings or other signs of slight wear and vinyl should still be completely glossy and shiny, just the very lightest hint of wear if it is tilted to very bright light.
Very Good Plus (VG+): This record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled carefully by the previous owner. Record surfaces will show some light signs of paper scuffing or light scratches, that don't affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect sound are OK. This disc should still contain much of its original luster and sheen. The covers and picture sleeves should also be in very nice shape, they may have light ring wear or other signs of wear, may have a small cut out hole, indention or stamping present. Also there can be non obvious writing on the paper goods.
Very Good (VG): Many of the defects found in the VG+ record and cover will be present but more pronounced in the VG item. Surface noise will be evident, although the record should play through without skipping or repeating. Groove wear will now be noticeable, scuffing and light scratching will be apparent, a scratch now can be felt with a fingernail. Labels will be marred with tape or tape residue, stickers or writing. The same will be true for the LP cover or picture sleeve.
Good (G): Good does not mean bad! A record in good condition should be placed on a turntable and it should play through, all though the surface noise will be evident. A cover or picture sleeve will have seam splitting, especially on the bottom seam or spine. Also there will be noticeable ring wear caused by the presence of the record.  
Fair (F) or Poor (P): This record will be cracked, badly warped, and will not play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve or LP cover will show lots and lots of wear, the seams will be split on all three sides barely able to hold the record. This item will appear near valueless, unless of course it is a rarity that may not be seen again.
