Iggy and the Stooges from Michigan with this LP from France. It's on Skydog Records SGIS 008 and came out in 1976. Matrix SGIS 008 - (Scratched out letter B) A and other side is SGIS 008 - (scratched out letter A) B. This album is the live last Iggy and the Stooges show at the Michigan Palace in Detroit 1973-1974. (Iggy says the F* word here and there.)  The recording of this on Skydog Record was live, but it doesn't sound as good as other bigger label brands when recorded live.  Side A sounds far away, but Side B sounds louder and closer with the recording.

The back cover lists the French Iggy Pop Fan Club address and also the Europe only address which is in Germany of the Iggy Pop Fan Club. The cover is a gray color and is the European laminated type cover which makes it shine a bit. (Skydog Records had a lot of the power pop/punks bands on their label.) Side 1: Raw Power; Head On; Gimme Danger Side 2: Rich Bitch, C* in my Pocket; Louie Louie The cover has its corners showing just a tiny bit of wear and one little cover flake/cut at the top left area which shows up as a white flake against the gray background. Two tiny tears at the cover opening near the bottom area. Back cover looks good but in certain light you see the ringwear outline. No fade marks, just an outline. Overall it looks great! The gray Skydog label is perfect.

The vinyl is shiny and has only a couple very light scratches-unfeelable on Side A along with a little section of a scuff from taking it out of its cover, but it does not affect the sound quality, with the exception of some light tics. I only see one light scratch on Side B. Played it through as it's been many years since I did and there are no skips or pops. But here and there I heard a very light tic going around, which probably comes from the surface scratch I see that is across several sections of this Side A.  Here is about a 100-second audio/video of Side A so you can hear the tics. 

I rate the laminate cover as Excellent (EX). The vinyl I rate as Very Good Plus (VG+) due to a few little tics I heard when recording the video here.   _________________________________________________________________________________________________________

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.
