Very Good
- Vinyl can have some dirt, but nothing major.
- May not shine under light, but should still be pretty clean, and not too dirty.
- May have a number of marks (5 to 10 at most), and obvious signs of play, but never a big cluster of them, or any major mark that would be very deep. Most marks should still not click under a fingernail.
- May not look near perfect, but should play fairly well, with slight surface noise, and the occasional click in part of a song, but never throughout a whole song or more.
- This is clearly a copy that was played by someone a number of times, but which could also be a good "play copy" for someone new.
Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Sweet
Give Us A WinkCapitol, 1976. Near Mint-
Classic pop glam from Sweet – easily one of the best torchbearers of the genre in the 70s! The album's got a sweetly compressed sound that's right up there with the best of Queen – but even more rocking overall, and without any of the too-flowery or too-flashy moments. Tunes are ...

Pet SoundsCapitol, 1966. Very Good+
One of the greatest records of all time – and don't you forget it!

Steve Miller Band
Fly Like An EagleCapitol, 1976. Sealed
A masterpiece from the legendary SF rocker Steve Miller – and a perfect summation of the years of blues, soul, funk, and rock he'd been soaking up in the Bay Area scene – served up here with an edge that's still very firmly in place! Miller was already plenty great before this set, but ... LP, Vinyl record album
Quicksilver Messenger Service
Quicksilver Messenger ServiceCapitol, 1968. Very Good+
One of the most progressive albums on the American scene of the late 60s – a set that's definitely psych, but which has a put-together quality that's something else as well! The group still have plenty of the optimistic charms you'd expect from their placement on the SF scene of the period ... LP, Vinyl record album
Beach Boys
Summer Days (And Summer Nights)Capitol, 1965. Very Good
A mixed bag record, but with some really wonderful moments – and essential listening as a lead-up to the Pet Sounds album to follow! There's a mix of styles here – some rough rocking numbers that are a bit stiff, mixed with some really amazing tunes that get at Brian Wilson's new ... LP, Vinyl record album

SRC
Traveler's TaleCapitol, Early 70s. Very Good Gatefold

Knack
Get The KnackCapitol, 1979. Very Good+
One of the greatest power pop albums ever recorded – a blistering batch of tight little rocking tunes that took pop music back to basics at the end of the 70s! The group have an almost Beatles-esque flair for the short catchy tune – but have also pumped up things nicely with a smoothly ... LP, Vinyl record album

John Kay
John Kay & The SparrowColumbia, Mid 1960s. Very Good
Pre-Steppenwolf work by John Kay – a raw and rocking group with plenty of blues in the mix! The sound's actually pretty nice – looser and more jamming than the average blues rock group of the time, with some of the souped-up approach to the tunes that would mark the sound of ...
