John Barleycorn Must Die is the fourth studio album by Traffic, released in 1970 on Island Records in the United Kingdom.

NB

I am using the Record Collector definitions of quality as a guideline:

MINT. The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. 

EXCELLENT. The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD. The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD. The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
