MEMPHIS MINNIE BLUES CLASSICS BY.....  FE 35745 (1964)
I recently downsized & have to part with many of the beautiful vinyl records that I've owned for decades.
The vinyl here on 'BLUES CLASSICS by MEMPHIS MINNIE' is just beautiful. I purchased it many years ago when I started getting into some Mississippi Delta & other assorted blues records. The vinyl is a prize, still shiny & clean. I do not see any 'in your face'  imperfections here, even under bright light. I just recently played it for quality, with wonderful uninterrupted sound.  GOLDMINE standards rate this an NM-, and I agree. Play tested while I wrote this listing, wonderful uninterrupted sound
The cardboard 'outer jacket' is mostly B&W & does show each and every imperfection. Some age, edge & handling wear, but is fully intact. It does have a 'partial' seam split on the very top. BECAUSE OF THAT I HAVE ADDED A CLEAR PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FOR ADDED PROTECTION     There may be some signs of edge or handling wear but minimal. It's a beauty! NO stickers NO writing NO seam splits  GOLDMINE standards at EX++
VINYL - M = Perfect, M- or NM = probably played but still looks near perfect, super shiny, NM- = Very light signs of being played but right up there & close to, 'like new'  EX++ - Very light scuff or signs of being handled that does not affect play, still shiny EX+ - Very close to an EX++ just a bit more surface imperfection, again NOT affecting playability,  SLEEVE - M = Perfect, M- or NM = Package has been opened but still looks 'like new', NM- still beautiful outer package, just a bit more visual signs of use  EX++ = Light signs of ring & edge wear, possibly some discoloration, EX+ = More noticeable ring & edge wear, more discoloration GOLDMINE is a well known grading system that is wonderful for these older vinyl records. I always refer to it, but, using my eyes, ears & experience is more than priceless. I've been doing this now for well over 50 years & it works for me as well as you. I grade as if I'm buying for myself! GOLDMINE does not refer to a HAZE that I see on some records but it does exist. A very light 'cloudy' or hazy appearance that does not affect playback.    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
