Traffic - Traffic - 1968 Folk - VG - Ultrasonic Clean - Pretty scruffy record, also cover has name written on upper left corner and has seen some moisture. This would be on the upper side of VG+ meets EX, but on Side 1, towards the end of "Who Knows What Tomorrow May Bring" there are some SERIOUS small, deep scuffs, my turntable played through them, no skips, but that's the caveat. Is it worth it? Yes, the album rules.  - The record has been cleaned using ultrasonic technology and is rough but playable, in VG condition. The cover is crisp, only a VG+ because of age and/or tag residue or writing!

Traffic

Traffic, an English rock band hailing from the West Midlands, was formed in April 1967 by Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, Chris Wood, and Dave Mason. Initially, the group emerged as a psychedelic rock ensemble, drawing early inspiration from The Beatles. Their sound evolved over time, incorporating a range of instruments, including keyboards such as the Mellotron and various reed instruments, while also integrating jazz elements and improvisational techniques into their music.

The band disbanded in 1969, during which Winwood became a member of Blind Faith. However, Traffic reformed in 1970 and released the album John Barleycorn Must Die. The band's lineup continued to change until their final disbandment in 1975. A partial reunion featuring Winwood and Capaldi occurred in 1994. In recognition of their contributions to music, Traffic was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.

  • Record was initially cleaned manually, then ultrasonically cleaned with iSonic Ultrasonic Cleaning prior to grading
  • Records are packaged with a poly outer sleeve, the LP is placed in a fresh white inner sleeve directly after cleaning, (we include the accompanying sleeve, we send you both), separate from the cover to protect the seams during shipment, and of course, shipped within thick cardboard insert pads in a thick cardboard record mailer.
  • We offer discounted shipping on multiple records: calculated shipping for the first one and $2 for each additional one. International Buyers, please read International Buyers paragraph below.


SRO Records Record Grading Guide:

SEALED/Mint:

Vinyl: Assumed mint, unverified until opened.

Sleeve: Visible through shrink wrap, graded as above.

NM (Near Mint):

Vinyl: Nearly flawless, with possible minor scuffs or hairlines only visible under strong light.
Sleeve: Appears new, as if freshly printed.

 

EX (Excellent):

Vinyl: Bright, with minor surface wear and hairlines, not affecting play.

Sleeve: May have faint creases or abrasions, but artwork is clean.

 

VG+ (Very Good Plus):

Vinyl: Obvious wear, scuffs and hairlines, plays with some noise but no major sound issues.

Sleeve: Worn with creases, noticeable wear, acid deterioration, corner dings, chipping, and possible seam wear.

 
Here's the typical SRO Records line in the sand. Anything below VG+, unless it's rare, unusual or just awesome, we're NOT going to sell online, much less go through the hassle of an ultrasonic cleaning, we're going to put it in one of many $10 Record boxes that we sell at Record Conventions and events. Some will wind up in the $1 Box, just to get it back out into the world for someone to enjoy or make a planter out of.

 

VG (Very Good):

Vinyl: Dull appearance with many hairlines and scuffs, somehow plays with persistent noise but no skips. 

Sleeve: Worn with possible seam splits and moderate ring wear.

G+ (Good Plus):

Vinyl: Numerous marks and scratches, plays with significant noise but music usually overpowers flaws.

Sleeve: Rough appearance with possible seam splits and water damage.


G (Good):

Vinyl: Copious unforgettable marks, probably a skip or jump.

Sleeve: Heavy ring wear and damage, likely large seam splits or water damage.


F (Fair):

Vinyl: It's round with nearly infinite damage, skipper gonna skip

Sleeve: It's basically what's left of the sleeve for the album
