$

103

Cover: Graded Strong VG, average shelf wear from normal use and storage.

Vinyl: Visually/Play Graded strong VG/VG+, this is an outstanding copy. For a record in the VG range this will be one of the nicer you have purchased. Side one plays with very little light surface noise and is mainly graded VG due to a light series of tics at the very start of track one. Playback after this has a very small amount of light surface noise in only the lowest passages of music. Side two is graded VG+ and plays with very small amount of light isolated surface noise. Check my feedback and you will see that my grading is very precise. Bid with confidence as this is one that will not disappoint! Van Gelder, New York USA, 43 West 61st St. New York 23 rear cover address. Original insert included.

GRADING IS CONSERVATIVE AS ALWAYS!! SEE MY FEEDBACK AND BUY WITH CONFIDENCE!

MY GRADING SCALE: Below are definitions of each of my grading categories.

I USE THE GOLDMINE GRADING STANDARD AS THE BASIS FOR GRADING ALL LP's AND 45's.

Covers are graded separately. I do not deduct a grade for factory plate smudge, unless it affects the playback.

Near Mint: very clean unmarked copy. Pic sleeve, if present, will be of the highest quality.

VG++: May have just a couple of sleeve rubs only. This will be a very clean high gloss copy. This is my borderline Near Mint grade. Any 45 in this grade can be expected to be a strong collectors keeper. Pic sleeve will be flat with good corners. It will have very few, if any, creases or wrinkles. Sleeve will have no splits.

VG+: Will show a few more signs of normal use and wear. The 45 may have very light superficial marks and rubs but will be a well taken care of copy. The record may play with isolated noise at intro and in lower passages of music. The noise will not be continuous and will not overpower the music. Labels may have a small jukebox/address sticker or small name or initial but otherwise will not show any defects.
Pic sleeves with this grade may have very light creases. The sleeve may have a small split no larger than 1" in any area.

VG: The 45 will show more signs of normal use and wear. It may have lost some of its factory gloss and in some cases might exhibit groove wear upon inspection. This copy will be enjoyable but will play with light background noise. There may also be light but isolated crakle and/or pops and ticks. Any of the previous will not be continous and will remain behind the music at all times and never overpower it. This will be an enjoyable copy but one that has been more heavily played.
Pic sleeves with this grade will have noticeable wear.

VG-: A 45 that will have either pressing type noise throughout or crackle type noise throughout but not both. This noise will be low but continous. A decent copy and one that can still be enjoyed. This grade is generally used on only very rare or valuable records.
Pic sleeves with this grade will exhibit overall wear and may have a tear or completely split but taped seam.

G: The 45 will have both heavy background noise and crackle throughout. It will visually be a very rough copy. This grade is only used on records of extreme rarity or value. Pic sleeves with this grade will have many noticeable defects.

All grading is visual unless otherwise stated. Due to time constraints I am not able to play each record. Some records will be visually graded, some will be spot played and some will be fully play graded. Grading method will be stated. Sealed records cannot be returned once opened.
