Description
For sale is an original first pressing of Maurice Williams "Being Without You / Baby, Baby" on the turquoise Deesu label, 302. Matrix / Runout (A runout): 205-1726 6os Nashville Matrix 75. Matrix / Runout (B runout): 205-1725 6os Nashville Matrix 75.
Date "6/15/66" written in ink on "Baby Baby" side. Labels otherwise mostly clean and crisp. Vinyl rates a stellar visual and play-graded NM. A superb, original pressing of this rare 45. From the incredible collection of a Virginian DJ who ran a radio station from his basement in the 1960s. He kept his 45s stored in nine file cabinets, each three columns wide with 45s, impeccably kept away from moisture, wear, etc. Please see my other listings for more rare soul 45s from the same estate.
My grading scale:
STILL SEALED : Jacket imperfections, if any, will be described. Vinyl guaranteed to be in unplayed condition.
M : I don't use this grade, on the assumption that no record or jacket is truly flawless.
M- : Vinyl appears unplayed, jacket bears no signs of wear. I rarely, if ever, use this grade.
NM : Like M-, with possible scintilla/whiff of an imperfection
VG++ : May have a couple very minor imperfections. (sleeve scuffs, faint scratches or other superficial marks that have little or no bearing on sound.) Jacket may have a couple very minor flaws.
VG+ : Like VG++, but with a few more light imperfections
VG : Several light imperfections, and possibly one or two more serious ones, such as small feelable scratches. Still plays well.
VG- : Will display numerous minor imperfections and/or feelable scratches that affect playback quality. Between you and me, you could do better.
GOOD : What I consider pretty poor... numerous major imperfections. I generally don't sell items in this range unless they are of major significance.
