This vinyl LP by Shel Silverstein titled "The Great Conch Train Robbery & Other Songs" is a must-have for any folk music enthusiast. The record is a 33 1/3 RPM full-range fidelity level vinyl, released in the United States in 1980 under the Flying Fish record label. The cardboard sleeve and original cover are both in very good condition, along with the inlay. The record itself has been graded as Very Good Plus (VG+), and it features the artist's voice as the main instrument. The LP also includes an insert. This is a great addition to any music collection and will surely be enjoyed for years to come.

Vinyl Grading System

Mint (M) – Absolutely perfect in every way. Never been played and usually sealed.

Near Mint (NM) – The record has been on a shelf between other records. The vinyl looks glossy and clearly has only been played a few times. There are no marks on the vinyl and the whole package is complete.

Excellent (E) – Same but I’d tolerate very light marks where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or tiny signs of use generally.

Very Good Plus (VG+) – A few further faults are acceptable, but nothing that really compromises the record visually or audibly. A little rub, light inaudible marks, a little background crackle.

Very Good (VG) – It’s seen a bit of life, but is still usable. Light pops and clicks, an edge split, light visible scratches. You can still listen to it and enjoy looking at it, but it is visually and audibly USED.

Good (G) – To be honest you’re making trouble for yourself here, as Good means Bad. I’d only be selling something really desirable in this condition, with a bargain price and a full, no holds barred description to match.

Poor (P), Fair (F) Attempting to listen will be a disturbing experience. Expect major noise issues, skipping or repeating. The record itself is cracked, badly warped and has deep scratches. The cover is also approaching death.
