Description

The Capitols Dance The Cool Jerk With The Capitols Vinyl LP - Atco 33-190 (1966) VG+/NM Mono First Pressing with "Cool Jerk"
Condition: VG+ Vinyl and Near Mint Cover. Vinyl was play-tested on both sides and plays very well throughout with good fidelity. Original cover is strong and clean with great color, fully intact with no splits, spine visible. Frameworthy!
The Capitols were a Detroit-based soul trio, widely known in 1966 for their hit single "Cool Jerk". The mid-1960s saw many dance crazes; one of the most popular ones was a dance called "the jerk". It consisted of holding the arms out in different positions and making thrusting motions with the hips. 
The song was recorded at Golden World Studios in Detroit on March 14, 1966, with the Motown house band The Funk Brothers. "Cool Jerk" was released late March 1966 and was a hit, reaching number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 2 on the Billboard R&B chart. Dance the Cool Jerk features mostly covers of popular Motown and soul songs. 
Though the group had a fairly short career and limited commercial success, "Cool Jerk" has stood the test of time.

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.

Feel free to contact me with any specific questions.
