FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION YOU ARE BIDDING FOR A RARE, ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING OF THE RONETTES AND RECORDED IN 1965 ON THE COLPIX LABEL CP-486. THIS IS THE GOLD LABEL ALBUM. THE TRAILOFF NUMBERS IN THE DEADWAX AREA, ARE S4RM 3415 1 ON SIDE 1 AND S4RM 3416 1 ON SIDE 2. THE ALBUM COVER IS EXCELLENT. NO SEAM SPLITS, TAPE, WRITING, RINGWEAR OR STICKERS, JUST A VERY SLIGHT AMOUNT OF DISCOLORATION BEGINING IN BACK. THE LINER NOTES ARE NICE AND CLEAN AND THERE IS A COOL PICTURE OF THE GIRLS IN BLACK & WHITE. THE RICH, SHINY RECORD IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AND THE LABELS ARE ALMOST SPOTLESS. THERE IS JUST FOUR NEEDLE MARKS ON SIDE 2 AND NONE ON SIDE 1. WHEN INSPECTED UNDER THE LIGHT, THERE WERE NO SCRATCHES OR SCUFFS AND VERY FEW, LIGHT LINE MARKS. THE RECORD LOOKS NEW AND WHEN PLAYED, SOUNDED NEW. THIS IS, WITHOUT  QUESTION, OF INVESTMENT GRADE QUALITY AND A KEEPER FOR THE LONG PULL. BASED ON GOLDMINE'S GRADING STANDARDS, THE ALBUM IS GRADED VG+ AND THE RECORD NM. THERE IS NO RESERVE. SIDE 1; HE DID IT, SILHOUETTES, GOOD GIRLS, THE MEMORY, YOU BET I WOULD, I'M GONNA QUIT WHILE I'M AHEAD, SIDE 2; I'M ON THE WAGON, RECIPE FOR LOVE, MY GUIDING ANGEL, I WANT A BOY, WHAT'S SO SWEET ABOUT SWEET SIXTEEN. I WILL  ACCEPT PAYPAL, CASHIERS CHECK, PERSONAL CHECK OR MONEY ORDER AND WILL SHIP ON DAY OF SETTLEMENT. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, EMAIL ME. PLEASE VIEW MY FEEDBACK, GOOD LUCK AND THANK YOU.

GRADING IS BASED ON GOLDMINE'S GRADING SYSTEM. I'M CONSERVATIVE WHEN GRADING MY ALBUMS AND RECORDS AND I TRY TO BE OBJECTIVE IN DOING SO.

MINT: (M); ABSOLUTELY PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. CERTAINLY NEVER PLAYED AND PERHAPS, STILL IN 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 OR OTHER NOTICEABLE DEFECTS. NO CUT-OUT HOLES EITHER. BASICALLY, AN ALBUM IN NEAR MINT CONDITION LOOKS AS IF YOU JUST PURCHASED IT FROM A RECORD STORE AND REMOVED THE ORIGINAL WRAPPING.

VERY GOOD PLUS: (VG+); A VERY GOOD PLUS WILL SHOW SOME SIGNS OF USE AND THAT IT WAS PLAYED BY A PREVIOUS OWNER WHO TOOK CARE OF IT. RECORD SURFACES MAY SHOW SOME SLIGHT SIGNS OF WEAR AND ALSO MAY HAVE SLIGHT SCUFFS OR SCRATCHES THAT DON'T AFFECT ONE'S LISTENING EXPERIENCES. SLIGHT WARPS THAT DO NOT AFFECT THE SOUND IS OK. THE LABEL MAY HAVE SOME RINGWEAR OR DISCOLORATION, BUT IT SHOULD BE BARELY 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 DISIRABLE.

VERY GOOD: (VG); SURFACE NOISE WILL BE EVIDENT UPON PLAYING, ESPECIALLY IN SOFT PASSAGES AND DURING A SONG'S 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.

SUMMARY; I SINCERELY HOPE THIS INFORMATION WILL BE OF VALUE TO YOU. I AM NOT AN EXPERT BY I DO HAVE OVER 50 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE BUYING AND SELLING INVESTMENT GRADE RECORDS. I AM SURE YOU WILL BE HAPPY WITH MY AUCTIONS AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST.
