Description
This is the 1959 1st press rather than the 1966 reissue because the Runout details are correct for the 1959 issue. The Runout details are: Side A runout stamp is RBF1 A and Side B runout stamp is RBF1 B Great country blues compilation, imported by mail order from USA to England and even has original mail order feedback form included and I bought this album from the original owner from England.

I Been Treated Wrong
Vinyl Grade: VG or higher, good gloss, has one longer scratch on four tracks of side 1 and some light impression marks that you would not expect to hear.
Sound Quality: +VG or higher, fully play tested, a sprinkling of light surface noise that does not detract from the fine blues music.
Cover: fine cover, heavy cardboard, nice and flat, a little wear around the edges, old tape on top and bottom edge. Should have a booklet but not included.
Labels: pen mark on side 2 near center hole.
Records graded directly under very bright table light for the visual grade. Sound quality checked by playing to ensure that visual grade and sound quality are consistent.
Mint M and Near Mint NM: Looks perfect as new. N and NM is only appropriate for new reissue records and not for vintage vinyl that has been played, regardless of how perfect it may look.
Excellent Plus +EX: Lovely gloss, no visible scratches, scuffs or marks. Has been played but has been handled well and still in great condition. (highest grade that I use for vintage vinyl)
Excellent EX: Lovely gloss, shows some slight signs of wear, including light trace/hairlines from the inner sleeve, light scuffs or very light marks that you would not expect to hear as surface noise.
Very Good Plus +VG: Shows a few more very light marks than is allowable for EX so not quite EX. These signs of use would be expected to cause some light surface noise but not to detract from the music.
Very Good VG: Shows light scratches and marks and some that you would expect to cause surface noise, especially in soft passages, between tracks and during a song?s intro and ending but not so much as to overpower the music which can still be enjoyed.
Very Good Minus -VG: Shows significant wear and marks that you would expect to cause noticeable surface noise that detracts from the music.
Good G: In the record world, 'Good' is not good! From here on down (Fair, Poor), we're talking about beat-up records lacking much of the original gloss and with many scratches and marks that you would expect to cause very noticeable surface noise and clicks/pops that seriously detract from enjoyment of the music.
