The Fabulous Little Richard Specialty SP-2104 mono LP. Original deep groove heavy vinyl pressing with gold and black labels from 1958. Santa Monica address on back cover.

Condition - Grading is Visual Under Bright Light

The cover is a nice VG+. The front cover graphics are beautiful, vivid, and striking. The left corners show a touch of wear, the right corners a little more wear with an inch of seam wear on the lower right corner. Seams are nice no splits. The printing on the spine is sharp and clear.  The back cover slick shows some light age toning and a light stain on the upper right edge but is sharp and clean overall.  A very pretty cover.     

LP is a solid glossy VG+ with some light sleeve wear, hairlines,  and a few light scuffs. Nothing feelable or serious on either side. Labels are nice with some faint marks visible under angled light and some uneven spots on the glossy label coating. A solid example of this rare Specialty LP, definitely a few notches above average.   

Overall not perfect or NM but a nice collectable copy of a seminal R&B LP. Check out my other auctions for more rare and interesting records. Winning auctions may be combined to save postage cost. Check out my feedback for results of recent rare record auctions.

Grading

Grading is SS (still sealed), NM, VG+, VG. The myriad of grading systems on Ebay is a good indicator of the subjective nature of grading. In my opinion NM is close to perfect with one or two very minor flaws, VG+ is above average and collectable and VG is average used condition but probably the best choice for playing. I'm a collector and try to describe LPs as accurately as possible, the way I would want them described to me. The pictures should at least give a good indication of the condition of the covers and labels. Please see my seller feedback for comments on my grading. If you don't agree with how I'm calling a record that is your privilege but with all respect please don't bid.
