THE OUTSIDERS (LP) "Time Won't Let Me" (Capitol T2501, mono) 1966 EX

The Outsiders album entitled "Time Won't Let Me."  On Capitol T 2501 Mono.  Matrix readout on side 1 is T1-2501-G2.  This album came out in 1966. Some of the tunes here were actually Spencer Davis, Herman's Hermits, and a Buddy Holly one (and a couple more, besides their own).   The band was from my Cleveland, Ohio area.  Sonny Geraci's friends had a benefit concert set up for him back in 2013 to help with medical expenses.  He used to be in the Climax band later.  Tom King was the leader and rhythm guitar and did some vocals, but he passed on in 2011. 

Side 1:  Keep On Running; Listen People; Time Won't Let Me; My Girl; What Makes You Do Bad You Weren't Brought Up That Way; She Cried.

Side 2:  Chase Away the Tears; Was It Really Real; Maybe Baby; Rockin' Robin; Girl in Love. 

Cover:  The front cover barely shows any fade marks--just a tiny bit at the top middle and bottom.  There is a drill hole at the upper right corner on the front, besides some staple-type marks at the upper left corner.  The corners are in great shape except the bottom right is starting to tear a tiny bit.  Back cover  shows a little bit of darkening or age wear at the left side area, along with some light flaking or tear of the top layer of cover sleeve.  Just zoom in on the photos.  It's nothing too drastic.  A little bit of ringwear shows on the back cover, too.  Comes in a plain white inner sleeve. 

Vinyl:  The Capitol label is in great shape.  At first glance the vinyl looks super and is actually still shiny!  Under the bright lamp I see more detail.  Side 1 only has a couple of light surface scratches around some grooves, but this does not affect the playback.  Side 2 only has a long light scuff mark and many tiny scuffs in one area across a section, but none of this affects the sound quality either.  No skips, no pops, no fuzz.  Very minimal crackling h0ere and there inbetween songs, but again, nothing that detracts from the sound quality. 

I rate the album cover as Very Good Plus (VG+) and the vinyl I rate as Excellent (EX).

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.  LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or similar defects. 

NM-: Near Mint Minus (My grading item/description).   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 the cover and cover probably has seam splits. But, amazingly, for the vinyl, 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.
