Vinyl Record Old Times Good Times By The Emeralds Bool Label Appraisal

Vinyl Record: Old Times, Good Times by The Emeralds (bool label)

This item is a black vinyl record, likely a 12-inch LP given its apparent size and the amount of information on the label. The record features a light-colored, possibly off-white or light gray, circular center label with black text and graphics. The title "OLD TIMES, GOOD TIMES" is prominently displayed at the top of the label, followed by "THE EMERALDS". The label lists various tracks with their durations, indicating it's an album. There is a visible logo at the bottom center of the label, which appears to be for a record label called "bool", with smaller text underneath possibly stating "made in Canada". The surface of the vinyl itself appears glossy, indicative of its original material. However, there are visible surface scratches and scuffs scattered across the record, particularly noticeable in the upper left quadrant and across the general playing surface, suggesting moderate to significant wear from use and handling. These imperfections could impact sound quality. The grooves are clearly discernible, indicating it is a playable phonograph record. The center hole for a turntable spindle is present and appears to be intact. Based on the label design and the visible text, this record likely dates to the mid-to-late 20th century, common for vinyl releases of this type. The overall craftsmanship appears standard for mass-produced vinyl records of that era.
