Description
The Pyramids 45 titled "Paul/Pyramid's Stomp"; Best 45-13001, 1962. Both sides sound in NM condition (I test-played them entirely). Some minor blistering on the labels. Great period surf stuff; a pair of vigorous instrumentals.
To U.S. locations, the mailing charge is $4 first class. Combined with other 45s, the cost is $4 for 1-3 discs; $5 for 4-10 discs (priority mail); and $6 for 11 or more records (priority mail). FREE mailing to U.S. locations for any winner whose single bid or combined bids exceeds $75. I typically mail within 24 hours.
International bidders: I do combine records to save on the mailing cost.
This item belonged to a former employee of the Columbia Records pressing plant in my home city of Terre Haute, Indiana, who worked on the Columbia record production line in the 1960s and '70s. Most (or all) of the wear on these records, if there is any, is storage-related, and not from play.
Play-grade definitions: NM (near mint) -- little or no surface noise. VG+ (very good plus) -- surface noise, but does not interfere with the enjoyment of the track. VG (very good) -- surface noise that is noticeable and whether or not it interferes with the enjoyment of the record depends on your level of tolerance. G (good) -- noticeable surface noise, at least some of which interferes with the enjoyment of the song. I will never list a record on eBay that skips or catches without noting that flaw in the description.
All my records are test-played in their entirety, unless noted. I seldom grade a record's playing surface visually because of the subjective nature of the judgment -- the tendency for vinyl to sound much better or worse than it looks. I assume a buyer is more interested in a disc's sound than its look. If you want a description of the playing surface (visual grade), please e-mail me and I will provide it.
Please e-mail me if you have any other questions. Please check out my other surf rock listings. Thanks for looking.
