The Third Estate - Years Before the Wine
This is an incredibly rare record. This is the original private press of which only 500 were made. These are getting harder and harder to find. It is considered one of the holy grails by psychedelic folk collectors. This one is signed by singer/guitarist Chas Harrell.
Grading Record - VG - Record plays through with no pops or skips. There is faint surface noise on the first track of each side and between tracks. Cleaned by a VPI machine.
Sleeve - VG+ Jacket is complete. Back pasteover cover is on and intact. No seam splits.
Sleeve is signed by Chas Harrell -
Phyllis
To a lady who has been and always
will be a lady of beauty and worth.
Love, Chas

GOLDMINE GRADING
SEALED: Never opened...never played. Still in original shrink.
MINT : It should appear to be perfect. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains, labels or writing, tears or splits. Mint means perfect.
NM : Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly.
VG+ : The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully. Not too far from perfect. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original luster may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors.
VG : Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, but should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.
G : Well played with little luster and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record should still play all the way through without skipping. Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not obliterate the artwork.
P : Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above Good grading should be seen as Poor. Several cover flaws.
I will ship within 3 business days of receiving payment.
