GOLDMINE GRADE
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) or EXCELLENT (E)
A good description of a VG+ record is “except for a couple minor things, this would be Near Mint.” Most collectors, especially those who want to play their records, will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if it toward the high end of the grade (sometimes called VG++ or E+).
VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.
Let There Be Rock:
This is the first repress from 1978, identical to the original (1977), except that the Kangaroo emblem as been removed from labels. Later represses with this design have black labels (1980), then red labels (1981).
Track B2 for the Australian and New Zealand versions is "Crabsody in Blue" instead of "Problem Child" in some other countries.
The matrix / runout number on side A was originally :
APLP 002 A-2
and was overstamped to :
APLP 022 A-2
