THANK YOU FOR VIEWING MY AUCTIONS AND FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION,  YOU ARE BIDDING FOR A BEAUTIFUL NM PRESSING OF THE COOL, COOL PENGUINS AND RECORDED ON THE DOOTONE LABEL DTL-242 IN HIGH FIDELITY. THIS IS THE MAROON LABEL WITH SILVER PRINT AND THE ORIGINAL GROUP OF CLEVELAND DUNCUN, DEXTER TISBY, RANDOLF JONES AND TEDDY HARPER. THE TRAILOFF NUMBERS IN THE DEADWAX AREA, ARE DTL-242-1 ON SIDE 1 AND DTL-242-2 ON SIDE 2. THE STIFF ALBUM COVER IS FLAWLESS AND I MEAN FLAWLESS! THERE ARE NO SEAM SPLITS, TAPE, WRITING, RINGWEAR, DISCOLORATION, WRINKLES, TEARS, SCUFFS, MARKS OR ANYTHING THING ELSE THAT COMES TO MIND. IT'S THE NICEST ALBUM COVER I HAVE OWNED. THE LINER NOTES AND ADDITIONAL PICTURES ARE BRILLIANT. THE RECORD CLAIMS THE SAME DISTINCTION AND UNDER THE LIGHT, THERE ARE NO NEEDLE MARKS ON THE BEAUTIFUL LABELS, SCRATCH OR SCUFF MARKS ON THE RECORD, ONLY A COUPLE OF HAIRLINES. IT LOOKS AS IF HARDLY HANDLED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME FINGER PRINTS. THERE ARE NO SKIPS, STICKS, POPS OR HISSES. IT DOESEN'T GET ANY BETTER AND IF THERE EVER WAS A PENGUIN ALBUM WORTHY OF OF INVESTMENT GRADE CONSIDERATION, THIS IS IT. USING GOLDMINE'S GRADING GUIDELINES, THE ALBUM IS GRADEDNM AND THE RECORD NM. THERE IN NO RESERVE. 

SIDE 1; DO NOT PRETEND, IF YOU'RE MINE, COLD HEART, WANT ME, SWEET LOVE, MAKE UP YOUR MIND. SIDE 2; MONEY TALKS, LOVER OR FOOL, BUTTERBALL, HEART OF A FOOL, BE MY LOVIN' BABY, THAT'S HOW MUCH I NEED YOU.

I WILL ACCEPT PAYPAL, CASHIER'S CHECK, MONEY ORDER OR PERSONAL CHECK AND WILL SHIP ON DAY OF SETTLEMENT. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME. PLEASE VIEW MY FEEDBACK, GOOD LUCK AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

GRADING!

GRADING IS BASED ON GOLDMINE'S GRADING SYSTEM. I AM CONSERVATIVE WHEN GRADING MY ALBUMS AND I TRY TO BE OBJECTIVE IN DOING SO. MOST OF THE ALBUMS OFFERED FOR BID COME FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION WHILE OTHERS COME FROM OTHER COLLECTIONS AND ESTATES. NONE COME FROM GARAGE SALES OR SWAP MEETS.

MINT: (M);  ABSOLUTELY PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. CERTAINLY NEVER PLAYED AND PERHAPS STILL IN THE ORIGINAL WRAPPING.

NEAR MINT: (NM);  A NEARLY PERFECT RECORD AND ALBUM COVER. THE RECORD SHOULD SHOW NO OBVIOUS SIGNS OF WEAR. THE ALBUM COVER SHOULD HAVE NO CREASES, FOLDS, SEAM SPLITS, WRITING, TAPE OR OTHER NOTICEABLE DEFECTS, INCLUDING CUT-OUT HOLES. BASICALLY, AN ALBUM IN NEAR MINT CONDITION SHOULD LOOK AS IF IT WAS JUST PURCHASED FROM A RECORD STORE AND REMOVED FROM THE ORIGINAL WRAPPING.

VERY GOOD+: (VG+);  A VERY GOOD PLUS WILL SHOW SOME SIGNS OF USE AND THAT IT WAS PLAYED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER WHO TOOK CARE OF IT. RECORD SURFACES MAY SHOW SOME SIGNS OF WEAR AND ALSO MAY HAVE SOME SLIGHT SCUFFS OR SCRATCHES THAT DO NOT AFFECT ONE'S LISTENING EXPERIENCE. SLIGHT WARPS THAT DO NOT AFFECT THE SOUND IS OK. THE LABELS MAY HAVE SOME RINGWEAR OR DISCOLORATION, BUT THEY SHOULD BARELY BE NOTICEABLE. THE CENTER HOLE WILL NOT BE MISSHAPEN BY REPEATED PLAY. THE ALBUM COVER MAY HAVE SLIGHT SIGNS OF WEAR AND ALSO MAY BE MARRED BY A CUT-OUT HOLE, INDENTATION OR CORNER INDICATING IT WAS TAKEN OUT OF PRINT. A VERY GOOD PLUS RECORD IS HIGHLY ACCEPTABLE AND DESIRABLE.

VERY GOOD (VG):  SURFACE NOISE WILL BE EVIDENT UPON PLAYING, ESPECIALLY IN SOFT PASSAGES AND DURING A SONGS INTRO AND FADE. LABELS MAY BE MARRED BY WRITING OR HAVE TAPE OR STICKERS ATTACHED. THE SAME WILL BE TRUE WITH ALBUM COVERS. TAPED SEAMS MAY BE COMMON.

GOOD PLUS: (G+) OR GOOD: (G). I RARELY DEAL WITH THIS CATEGORY.

LISTINGS AND DESCRIPTIONS!

WHEN AN ALBUM IS LISTED AND IT IS KNOWN TO BE AN ORIGINAL OR FIRST PRESSING, IT WILL BE STATED IN THE DESCRIPTION, INCLUDING THE TRAILOFF NUMBERS IN THE DEADWAX AREA. I TRY TO BE AS ACCURATE AND OBJECTIVE AS POSSIBLE, HOWEVER IT IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE A MISTAKE AND IF THAT HAPPENS AND YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED, PLEASE LST ME KNOW WITHIN SEVEN DAYS OF THE PURCHASE DATE AND YOU WILL RECEIVE A REFUND OR CREDIT UPON RETURN OF THE ALBUM, IN THE CONDITION IT WAS SENT ORIGIANLLY.
