MC5 (LP) Kick Out The Jams (Elektra gold lbl) 1969 (Stereo)

Brothers, it's time to testify and I want to know, are you ready to testify?  Are you ready? I give you a testimonial: the MC5!

Ok, unfortunately this is not the uncensored version of the LP/song Kick Out The Jams where Rob Tyler used the MF word.  This one is with Bruthas and Sistas!  But in great shape!

On Elektra (gold label) EKS-74042.  Recorded live at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit.  I saw them several times in Cleveland at small clubs and the bigger auditoriums.  What great shows!  What a ton of energy! 

The cover sleeve (gatefold) is in good shape with just a bit of fade spots at the top and bottom seam areas. A little wear at the bottom right seam corner.  Back cover has some white fade dots as ringwear starting.  Inside gatefold is great with their photo!  At the middle seam of the gatefold at the bottom there is a little tear that was reglued.  All in all, at first glance the cover looks almost new because of all the colors.  The inside cover sleeve is an original Elektra sleeve with the gold logo over 3/4 of the cover and is in great shape.  (If you need a photo of this, let me know.)  Some light spindle marks on the label when looking at the label at an angle.  The vinyl is in super shape.  No skips or pops.  In normal daylight in front of the window you do not even see any scratches or marks, but under that bright lamp, I did see about 6-7 super light scratches.  Not feelable and they do not affect the loud raucous sound quality, which I love and you are probably loving it, too!

I rate the cover sleeve as Very Good Plus (VG+) or better.  The vinyl is Excellent to even maybe (NM-).

My I.D. in eBay is vinylexs. It used to be surplus-x, but as of January 8, 2014, I started separating my vinyl record products from my other products. Surplus-x still exists and all my original feedback rating from surplus-x has been 100% so far. I have over one thousand vinyl records (78s, 45s, 12", PS, EP, Picture Discs, colored vinyl) that I will be slowly uploading in the next few months (unless sitting on my butt for 10 hours a day doing this starts to hurt).

Will ship within two days of receiving payment via Paypal. Will ship in 45 rpm and LP mailers with inserts and bubblewrap for protection. Will provide tracking number also within the USA. Ships out of the Cleveland, Ohio area. I will ship via First Class mail to Great Britain, Germany, France, Netherlands, and Japan for $13.00 shipping charges on 7-inch 45 rpm records and $19.00 for 12-inch albums. For overseas countries, I will email you the invoice which includes this shipping charge over and above the winning bid.

Returns: I follow the eBay policy - 14 days money back, but buyer pays return shipping charges.

Guidelines I use to rate the quality of these records (based on the Goldmine Grading Guide):

NM:Near Mint - Vinyl, still shiny, as if opened for the first time. No writing or stickers on the vinyl. No obvious scratches. Label: No writing or stickers and no fading of the label.

NM-: Near Mint Minus - Similar to NM but will have some very light scratches on the vinyl not affecting the sound quality. No writing or stickers on label and no fading (or ringwear) on cover or label.

EX: Excellent - Not quite a Goldmine Standard Listing, but being used by many now. Cover: No ink wear, minor creases to corners, no seam tears. Vinyl can have scratches, but not felt by your fingers. Sound quality must be mint. No more than 15% of the surface should have wear or scuffs on it. To me, EX is like a VG++.

VG+: Very Good Plus - Similar to NM- except that on the label, there may be a sticker or writing, but it shows very little wear. There may be only a couple light surface scratches on the grooves, but do not affect the playback with noise or skips. You may only see these scratches if you put them under a bright light and really look for them. The cover might have light creasing or minor seam or corner wear, but still in great condition to show off.

VG to VG-: Very Good to Very Good Minus - May not be that shiny anymore and you will see scratches without putting it under a bright light, but they still would not affect the quality of the playback. The sound quality is still pretty good, maybe a little noise, but not enough to detract from the listening experience. The label might have some fading around it, besides having stickers or writing. The cover may have obvious ringwear in the middle or around the perimeter of where the record was, maybe some side seam splits, or little tears at the top or side where the record goes back into. If less defects, then it's a VG. If it has all this just mentioned, then a VG-.

G, G+: Good or Good Plus - It doesn't mean the vinyl is trashed. It plays though without skipping, but may have heavy noise or fuzz sound because of age, quality, or worn-down grooves. Heavy writing or stickers on the label, ringwear is very obvious on label and cover probably has seam splits. But, amazingly, if you have special audio LP recording software, you could probably clean up those crackles and fuzzes, if you want to create a CD of it for yourself.

P: Poor - This is when the vinyl is warped to the point it warps the playback also. Or it's cracked, but it may or may not still play without a skip. If a picture sleeve is with it, this is torn or marked up bigtime. But someone may want to have it for nostalgia or even attempt to fix it.
