Condition

Visual Grade: Strong VG (Goldmine Standard)

This record has been professionally ultrasonically cleaned.

The vinyl retains very nice original gloss and presents well overall. There are scattered sleeve scuffs, hairlines, and surface scratches typical of a well-cared-for original Sun 45 that has been played over the years.

I have intentionally graded this record conservatively. Please examine all photographs carefully and judge for yourself.
