Vinyl: VG

The sixties were long gone and The Moody Blues weren’t young anymore. That’s not to say that they weren’t smart however. They continued to move further and further from their orchestral and classical roots toward a modern eighties sound. Patrick Moraz’s keyboards would be unleashed to create the type of synthesizer pop/rock sound that was so popular at the time. The Other Side Of Life would reach the top ten in The United States and spawn two hit singles.

MINT (M)
These are absolutely perfect in every way.NEAR MINT (NM OR M-)
A good description of a NM record is “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.VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) or EXCELLENT (E)
VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience.
Very Good (VG)
VG records have more obvious flaws, lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail.Good (G),
Good Plus (G+)
or Very Good Minus (VG–)
Good does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, so it can serve as filler until something better comes along.POOR (P)
and Fair (F)
Records are cracked, impossibly warped, or skip and/or repeat when an attempt is made to play them.Sealed Albums
Still-sealed albums can — and do — bring even higher prices than listed.
