Donovan A Gift From a Flower To a Garden 2 LP Box Set - Epic B2N 171 - with Storybook Folder
Condition: Very Good Vinyl and Very Good Cover. Vinyl was play-tested on all sides and plays well throughout with occasional light background noise but no skips. Box cover has small corner splits but inside is a fun folder with stories and poems in great shape.
A Gift From a Flower to a Garden is the fifth album from Donovan, released in December 1967 through Epic Records. It marks the first double-disc album of Donovan's career and one of the first box sets in pop music. 
A Gift from a Flower to a Garden spent 22 weeks on the US Billboard 200, peaking at number 19. In 1970, the album earned a Gold Record award for half a million sales.
AllMusic said the album "stands out as a prime artifact of the flower-power era that produced it," and noted that while "the music still seems a bit fey … the sheer range of subjects and influences make this a surprisingly rewarding work."

I use the Goldmine Grading System, and play-test all records. I note any differences between vinyl and cover, and make note of any inserts, special sleeves, or potential defects.

MINT (M) - Absolutely perfect in every way. Most often this is a still sealed record, records that have been opened are rarely if ever marked as Mint.

NEAR MINT (NM) - A good description is that it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time. In other words, it?s nearly perfect, with no visible defects. 

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) - Except for a couple minor things, this could be Near Mint. Most collectors will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if on the high end (VG++). VG+ records may show slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Covers should have only minor wear. 

VERY GOOD (VG) - VG records are among the biggest bargains, and for many, will be worth the money. They can lack the original gloss, may have surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages. But the noise will not overpower the music. VG covers will have signs of handling, and may have minor splits. 

GOOD PLUS (G+) - Good+ does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, but it has significant surface noise and groove wear. Cover may have significant ring wear, noticeable writing, or obvious damage.

GOOD (G) - Record may have some skipping, but is otherwise listenable. I generally avoid selling Good (G) rated records unless they are highly collectible or desirable, in order to enjoy until something better comes along. Cover has major wear or seam splits that need repair, or heavy writing like radio station call letters to prevent theft.
