John Lee Hooker - The real folk Blues (1961)

SS | STILL SEALED

Original shrink-wrapped, if so supplied by the manufacturer/distributor. Not damaged.

M | MINT

Brand new. No damage, neither on the cover nor on the media - never played.

NM | NEAR MINT

VINYL: Near perfect. Minor signs of use may be seen, but the record has obviously been handled with extreme care.
COVER: Also almost new. Only very minor signs of use.

EX | EXCELLENT

VINYL: There may be visible and also audible signs of use, but very minor.
COVER: The 'artwork' is intact. Damaged corners and edges may occur, but never to an extreme degree.

VG | VERY GOOD

VINYL: Background noise may occur occasionally, but never all the time.
COVER: Normal signs of age. If abnormal damage is present, such as detached cover tape or lettering, it will be mentioned separately unless visible in the photo.

G | GOOD

VINYL: Continuous crackling is to be expected, but not so loud that the music becomes unenjoyable. May also have 1 or 2 ‘nasty scratches’ and crack at those points, but at most on 1-2 songs.
COVER: Heavy signs of use, but not cracked. Cover glue might be loose, but not repaired with anything other than clear tape.

F | FAIR

VINYL: Hardly usable. The record is usually noisy throughout. There may be occasional heavy noise, also a crack can't be ruled out.
COVER: Possibly torn, pasted or labeled, but not all at once.

P | POOR

VINYL: Only a few songs are still enjoyable.
COVER: Could be totally broken.
