UNKNOWN TEST PRESSING - '70s SWEET/ MODERN SOUL (Soul Unlimited??) HEAR IT

$

181

NOTE: All 45s are professionally cleaned and carefully inspected under a grading lamp with 120-watt bulb.

• Guidelines reflect TYPICAL factors determining grade - variations are noted in the description
• Please note: I DO NOT USE EXCELLENT (EX) as a grade.
• I rarely use grades below VG, and all vinyl graded VG or less is appropriately spot play-graded to assure sound quality.
• Grades below G are not listed, as I typically do not sell merchandise in such condition.

• Intermediate grades (e.g., NM-, VG/VG+, VG+/++) are used, as applicable.

   

• MINT: Virtually flawless storestock, either unplayed or played by me in spots for demonstration purposes.

• NM+  (Near Mint Plus) - Practically mint; may have been played once or twice but I can't confirm if it's storestock.

• NM  (Near Mint) - Full gloss vinyl and labels nearly flawless; may have a small, super light scuff or a few light sleeve or surface marks that do not affect play.

• VG++  (Very Good Plus Plus) - what many refer to as "excellent"; close to NM. Full or nearly full-gloss vinyl with a few minor surface or sleeve marks; possibly one or a few small, light scuffs or scratches. Expect minimal surface noise, or very slight surface noise in spots. Labels may have very slight wear, possibly one or a couple very minor flaws (noted in description, as applicable).

• VG+  (Very Good Plus) - Nearly full-gloss vinyl with some minor surface or sleeve marks; OR slight graying/loss of luster with a few minor marks. Possibly a few small, light scuffs or feelable scratches. Expect only slight surface noise in spots, possibly a few soft clicks. Labels have slight wear, possibly one or a couple minor flaws (small tear or writing, etc. - noted in description, as applicable).

• VG  (Very Good) - Vinyl highly glossy with many light surface or sleeve marks and hairline scratches, OR some graying/groovewear and fewer marks and hairlines. Possibly a few or some small light feelable scratches, or a couple longer or deeper ones that do not significantly affect play. Expect slight surface noise (especially on softer passages), possibly with a few or some soft clicks.

• VG-  (Very Good Minus) - Vinyl generally has noticeable graying/groovewear, with many light scuffs, sleeve/surface marks and hairline scratches, plus some light feelable scratches; possibly one or a few deeper scratches that do not significantly affect play. OR may be glossy with lots of superficial marks or rubs (possibly covering most or all of the disc when viewed under strong light) which do not significantly affect play.  Expect some surface noise, possibly with a few or some soft clicks that are noticeable but NOT overwhelming.

• G  (Good) Vinyl has lost much or most of its original gloss and generally has obvious or significant graying/groovewear; has many scuffs, surface marks, sleeve marks and light scratches; possibly a few or some deeper scratches that do not significantly affect play. Expect some surface noise throughout that's noticeable but NOT overwhelming - NO skips, sticks, heavy scuffs, excessive noise, or loud "pops" or "clicks" (unless noted in description).
