The Road To Ruin (Vinyl LP)

Recorded at Sound Techniques in Old Church Street, Chelsea in Spring 1970 The Road to Ruin was to be John and Beverley's last album together, recording was completed in July and the album was released in November. John's enthusiasm for spontaneity and exploring other musical directions put him on a collision course with producer Joe Boyd and there were numerous disagreements. John later recalled, "By the time Beverley and I recorded our second album my ears were opening a little and I was listening to a lot more music. I'd been to a lot more gigs and was hanging out with other musicians non-stop. I was exposed to more music every day through other people's record collections, gigs they took me to and gigs I went to on my own."

Our Grading Standards
We grade all vinyl using the Goldmine standard:
Mint (M): Perfect, unplayed condition.
Near Mint (NM): Nearly perfect with minimal signs of handling.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows light signs of play but plays with minimal surface noise. The most common grade for collectable vinyl.
Very Good (VG): Noticeable marks and some surface noise, but still an enjoyable listen.
Good (G): Heavy wear — for collectors only.

All records are graded visually and by play. Media and sleeve are graded separately.
