1968 THEM -Now and Them Rare Canadian CAPITAL 6000 Stereo Pressing

Artist: Them, Title: Now-and “Them”, Label: Capital Canada ST-6278, Matrix #:ST1-5105-W1, ST2_5104_W1 Year of Release:1968, Grading Method: Play, and Visual,, Goldmine Grade : Vinyl: VG-VG+, :Cover: G, Notes: This Stereo version is one of the harder to track down records in the Capital 6000 series released by Capital Records Canada. This is the first release after Van Morrison left the band to persue his solo career. Kenny McDowell was brought in to take on the daunting task of replacing Van. To his credit, he didn’t just imitate Vans sound and delivery, he made this record his own. Still maintaining there british beat and blues sound, they begin to experiment with a more Psychedelic sound most noticeable on the nearly 10 minute long Square Room track. Very dark and reminiscent of the Doors The End. This copy plays exceptionally clean. No skips, jumps, or loud pops, only the occasional “tick” only noticeable on the quiet run outs. Visually the vinyl does have some light sleeve scuffs, and occasional light scratch but these do not affect play, the vinyl is nice and shiny and has clearly been cared for and not mishandled over its 48 year life. The cover has some visible ring wear, the seams are intact with the exception of a small split (less than a ½ inch) at the top front right corner. Someone has written the letters”bb” on the cover and it does have a promo/delete drill hole. Over all a nice collectable and very playable copy of this tough to find LP. Come check it out for yourself. Price $135.00

GOLDMINE GRADING SCALE

SS (Still Sealed) New record with original shrink wrap/packaging.

M (Mint) The record is perfect but not sealed anymore. / The sleeve is like new but not not sealed anymore.

NM (Near Mint) A very clean record. Near mint condition except for slight superficial scuffs. Played only a couple times, at most. / Sleeves with this rating may have small defects but will not have significant creases or splits.

EX (Excellent) Vinyl has only a couple minor surface scuffs, but no scratches. / Label has very slight evidence of wear, no writing and sharp coloring. Jacket has no seam splits, no creases, very minor chipping at edges/corners, very minor ring-wear, no writing.

VG+ (Very Good Plus) Record surfaces may have slight scuffs or light scratches, but are still primarily clean. No serious play issues. A well-cared-for-record. / Sleeves may have some creases or minor ring wear, but will not be split. May have chipping at edges or bumped corners, moderate ring wear, little to no writing. May have promo hole, slot or cut-out corner. (A grade that will satisfy most collectors.)

VG (Very Good) A used, reasonable copy to play. Many of the defects found in a VG+ copy will be more pronounced in VG condition. Surface noise but the record is still a decent copy. / Jacket may have seam split and/or chipping at edges or bumped corners with some writing, ring wear.

G (Good) Vinyl has lots of wear, skips and scratches are certain. Deeper scuffs are present. A record that has seen better days. / Jacket may have seam split and/or chipping at edges or bumped corners with writing, ring wear. Not a cover you would want to frame.

F (Fair) Vinyl Is ready for trash with skips, repeats, warping, and/or deep scratches, but may be a good album to buy to fill a need until a better copy is found. / Jacket has large splits and/or major chipping at edges and corners, water damage/stains, or major writing, or heavy ring wear.
