Items in this lot are:
  • Who's to blame / You got me crazy -- Record label: Decca -- Record#: 9-30365 sample copy

Special note to foreign bidders: I declare foreign shipments as merchandise with the value you bid for them. Shipment to foreign buyers is via priority mail international with insurance for the value bid. Please e-mail for shipping costs before bidding as this method costs more, but is insurable and trackable. Example: United Kingdom 0-1 pounds $42.00 + $1.00 box/tape/pack = $43.00.

Alternatively, if the ending winning bid is less than $50 and if you have perfect feedback and want this shipped first class international, it could be shipped that method with the understanding there is NO REFUND FOR ANY REASON since the item cannot be tracked online or insured. Example: United Kingdom 0-1 pounds $14.90 + $1.00 = $15.90.

Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

Feedback/bidding policy: I check feedback daily and will return feedback promptly.

Return policy: Although I go to great lengths to accurately describe my items, if you feel the merchandise is not as described, e-mail me BEFORE leaving feedback and we will resolve it. Please note I do allow returns (see return policy below).

Description: Up for your consideration is the next in a series of unique discs, this one from Lew Conetta with Orchestra directed by Sid Bass.


Several unique things about this auction: Firstly, the disc retains a lot of the original shine with a fair amount of very light marks, grading by sight in normal room light. I'm sure if you took this and put it under a 1000 watt bulb, you'd probably find something that makes it less than mint. If you're that kind of collector, and after a recent unpleasant experience with a buyer from Malaysia, let me suggest this auction is not for you.

I don't claim this record is mint. I did take the time to play this disc and found the two sides to audibly average a bit better than VG+(excellent). You can assign your own grade based on my comments and the grading scale shown below.

Secondly, at the time of this listing one past sale on e-bay for $138!!

So this is your chance to own a unique item at a reasonable price. Bid early and often so you don't miss out on this auction!

It is further described below, please take the time to read before bidding.

Please e-mail if questions.

Be sure to check my other listings to save postage on multiple winning bids. Please explore the "Me" link above(next to feedback rating) to check out my store and some of the 15,000+ records I have for sale as well as the LP to CD transfer service I offer.

I am using the Goldmine scale of G=Good(1), VG = Very Good(2), VG+ = Very Good Plus(excellent)(3), NM = Near Mint(4) when grading the disc(s).


Here is a summary of the record(s):

Artist: Lew Conetta Title: Who's to blame / You got me crazy Record: Black vinyl with lots of the original shine and a fair amount of very light marks, grading by sight in normal room light. Labels: Pink with black print. Writing on both sides more so on the "crazy" side (see scan), no stickers, no spindle marks. Slight general/ring wear (see scan). Trailing wax: Side 1: "45 102620 2 3". Side 2: "45 102619 3 3". Comments: I found the two tracks to audibly average better than VG+(excellent). You can assign your own grade based on my comments and the grading scale shown below. A unique addition to your 45 RPM collection. Side 1: Comments: Who's to blame Up to a very light surface noise with some very light to light pops (3.15) Side 2: Comments: You got me crazy Up to a very, very light to very light surface noise with a few very light to light pops (3.35)

Additional criteria I use when audibly grading records for people:

  • NM(4) = absolutely nothing wrong at all (very rarely happens--I've even opened sealed records and they don't play Near Mint)
  • 3.5-3.9 = very, very light surface noise
  • 3.1-3.4 = very light surface noise, very light pops
  • VG+(3) = up to light pops and light surface noise (below this, one's enjoyment is affected, very subjective)
  • VG(2) = up to medium pops and moderate surface noise
  • G(1) = up to heavy pops and heavy surface noise

I normally ship 7" discs in 12"x10"x3" boxes. Weight with box is about 12 oz. Shipping is: $2.53 Media Rate (0-1 pounds) + $1.00 box/tape/packing + $.90 delivery confirmation = $4.43.

Buyer pays shipping/handling. Standard method within U.S. is Media Rate, $4.00. This includes delivery confirmation which enables you to track shipping of your package online. Outside U.S., e-mail location to determine S/H costs prior to auction end. Insurance / other methods of shipping cost extra. Payment received within ten days of auction ending. Payment via Paypal preferred.

Thanks for stopping by and good luck with the bidding!
