Description of present selling
Zoot Sims/ Joe Newman "Locking Horns" on RAMA RLP1003. Another exceptional rarity in great condition. Mono deep groove both sides.
Sound is loud and clear, a very few flaws, hard to find again in the same condition.
Side1 : Ex+ (9/10 ), visual Ex with superficial sleeve marks. Audio is Ex+, only flaw is 3 soft tics on track 3. My initial signature in pencil paper (removable) in the left piano hand of the label.
Side2 : Ex (8/10), same visual Ex with superficial sleeve marks except a little area of very fin
Cover : Ex (8/10), At first cover seems perfect with immaculate shiny front laminated ! Downgraded only because of 5,5 cm tearing on right upper seam, neatly repeared with glue from inside. Also a touch of browning on back and a little price written in blue ball pen. Nothing else to mention so in the end not far from Ex+(see photos).
My grading scale is simple with letters and figures to improve understanding. I grade each side of the record separately (first side then second side) and in the end the cover. I precise the grading with specific informations for each side and cover.
I do not grade inner sleeve (possible tearing or tape on it). If you’re interested in inner sleeve condition, feel free to ask…
The scale of grading is : VG-(5/10) VG(6/10) VG+(7/10) EX(8/10) EX+(9/10)
To be more precise
EX+ : a superb record with extremely few light flaws if any, maximum of 10 seconds of repetitive tics per side or less.
EX : a very nice records with few marks, maximum of 30 seconds of repetitive tics per side or less.
VG+ : still a nice record but with a bit more marks with a few lightly feelable, maximum of 1mn30 seconds of repetitive tics per side or less.
VG : a record with some marks feelable or not, no skips still enjoyable with portions of background tics, maximum of 2 to 3 mn of repetitive tics per side.
VG- : a very used record, not trashed but with numerous feelable marks, still no skips but expect maximum of 5 mn of repetitive tics per side or a bit less.
Very strict regarding collectors should only bid on EX and EX+ records. I didn't have a record cleaning machine and all records could benefit an ultrasonic cleaning. To improve sound, records should also be listened to with a stylus in good shape (less than a year).
