Peter Paul and Mary
The Best Of Peter Paul Mary: Ten Years Together
Vinyl LP - WB BS 2552
with Blowin' In the Wind and Leaving On A Jet Plane
Condition: Very Good Vinyl and Near Mint Cover. Vinyl was play-tested on both sides and plays very well throughout with good fidelity and occasional light background noise, but no skips. Original gatefold cover is strong and fully intact with good color, no splits or writing. Includes original Warners inner sleeve.
The Best of Peter, Paul, and Mary: Ten Years Together is a 1970 greatest hits release by American folk trio Peter, Paul, and Mary. It is the last album released before the group split up in 1970.
The album includes all of their greatest hits, including their only #1 hit "Leaving On A Jet Plane", "If I Had a Hammer", and their versions of the Bob Dylan songs "Blowin' in the Wind", "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right," and "Too Much of Nothing," along with others.
AllMusic's Bruce Eder praises this compilation as a close cross-section of PP M's eclectic sound, nicely highlighting the group's evolution during the prior decade from the acoustic folk sound that helped popularize several early Dylan compositions, to their later use of electric guitar and drums on hits like "Too Much of Nothing" ? another Dylan contribution, but from his later sound, composed in 1967, but not released by Dylan himself until 1975.

I use the Goldmine Grading System, and play-test all records. I note any differences between vinyl and cover, and make note of any inserts, special sleeves, or potential defects.
MINT (M) - Absolutely perfect in every way. Most often this is a still sealed record, records that have been opened are rarely if ever marked as Mint.
NEAR MINT (NM) - A good description is that it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time. In other words, it?s nearly perfect, with no visible defects.
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) - Except for a couple minor things, this could be Near Mint. Most collectors will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if on the high end (VG++). VG+ records may show slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Covers should have only minor wear.
VERY GOOD (VG) - VG records are among the biggest bargains, and for many, will be worth the money. They can lack the original gloss, may have surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages. But the noise will not overpower the music. VG covers will have signs of handling, and may have minor splits.
GOOD PLUS (G+) - Good+ does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, but it has significant surface noise and groove wear. Cover may have significant ring wear, noticeable writing, or obvious damage.
GOOD (G) - Record may have some skipping, but is otherwise listenable. I generally avoid selling Good (G) rated records unless they are highly collectible or desirable, in order to enjoy until something better comes along. Cover has major wear or seam splits that need repair, or heavy writing like radio station call letters to prevent theft.
