2 Solo Vinyl LP: David Gates (Bread) First, Burton Cummings (Guess Who) S/T

Description: Lot of two solo albums from David Gates - Bread, and Burton Cummings - The Guess Who. David Gates - First is a 1973 release on Elektra EKS-75066. I could not match this up with any of the Discogs entries; it looks to be an original CTH pressing. The vinyl is VG+ with scuffs/surface scratches that do not affect play - plays and sounds excellent. The embossed gatefold cover is VG with light wear and tape or sticker residue on the upper left - see photo 2. Includes intact Elektra inner. The self titled Burton Cummings album is a 1976 original Terra Haute pressing on Portrait PR 34261. The vinyl plays and sounds great except for bit of background noise at the start of side 2 track 1 - there was a very nasty fingerprint there, I cleaned it as best I could. The cover is VG with wear, the original inner has split bottom seam. I will mix and match, bundle, and will combine shipping. Review my feedback and buy with confidence. GRADINGAll records are first visually graded based around the Goldmine standard - see below for details. Then I spot play grade every record, paying particular attention to any defect I see that may affect sound reproduction. NOTE: Records are dusted, I do not have the equipment to provide a professional cleaning; I recommend a thorough cleaning prior to playing. Rest assured that I grade the records as they are, not how I hope they will sound after cleaning. I don't use the grades mint or near mint, so the best grade used is EX. The other thing you won't see is anything like +++ - I mean really? I will provide a grade for the cover and record, not the inner sleeve; nor will I guarantee that the inner sleeve is original to the record unless specifically noted. Records will typically ship in a (probably used) clear plastic cover with the record removed from the sleeve. Box sets will ship with the records in the box. If you don't agree with the grading of this item and wish to return it, I would appreciate it if you would contact me as soon as possible. For returns other than 'not as described' buyer pays return shipping. Having run an online record store from the mid 90s to 2008 I understand the importance of you knowing exactly what you are buying. Grading scale:M and NM: over-used grades that I don't useEX: minor visual defect, perhaps a surface mar but should play greatVG+: more noticeable blemishes to cover but not too distracting, minor surface noise possible on quiet passages or track leadin but overall a very enjoyable listening experienceVG: this grade is not really 'very good'. More visual and audio defects, but cover is intact albeit with noticeable defects and the record will have more visual defects and audible noise, but won't detract much from your listening experienceG: record with his grade would be a placeholder until you can find a better copy. Lousy cover, very noisy but plays through with no skips.P: junk
