FROM MY PERSONAL 60 PLUS YEAR OLD COLLECTION:LABEL: COED LPC-901ORIGINAL YEAR OF PRESSING: 1960ORIGINAL: YESGRADING SOURCE: GOLDMINE, 8TH EDITION OF THE COLLECTORS PRICE GUIDE.
IT IS OFTEN SAID THAT GRADING ANY ALBUM IS, AT BEST, MOST SUBJECTIVE. IT CERTAINLY IS TRUE FOR THE UNINFORMED OR CASUAL COLLECTOR.
ABBREVIATED:
MINT:(NM) ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. I REFER TO THAT AS NEW, NEVER PLAYED. (A NEW ALBUM IS ALWAYS OPENED SO I MAY VERIFY THAT IT WAS NOT DAMAGED IN ANY WAY).
NEAR MINT: (NM) LOOKS AS IF IT JUST CAME FROM A RETAIL STORE.
VERY GOOD PLUS OR EXCELLENT: (VG+) EXCEPT FOR A COUPLE OF MINOR CONDITION ISSUES, THESE RECORDS WOULD BE NEAR MINT.
VERY GOOD: (VG) RECORDS HAVE MORE OBVIOUS FLAWS THAN THEIR COUNTERPARTS IN BETTER SHAPE.
VERY GOOD MINUS, VERY GOOD MINUS, (VG-), GOOD PLUS (G+) DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN BAD. A TRUE VG- OR G PLAYS THROUGH WITHOUT SKIPPING.
I WILL NOT LIST ALBUMS THAT ARE FAIR OR POOR.
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE MAJORITY OF MY ALBUMS ARE VERY DESIREABLE AND IN DEMAND DUE TO THE FACT THAT MOST OF THEM WERE PRODUCED IN THE 50S OR EARLY 60s AND WERE NOT MASS PRODUCED. I HAVE MANY ORIGINAL ALBUMS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN MANUFACTURED SINCE THE 60s. THIS ARE OBVIOUSLY OF INVESTMENT GRADE VALUE AND LIKE THEY HAVE IN PAST YEARS, WILL GREATLY APPRECIATE IF IN REASONABLY GOOD CONDITION IN THE FUTURE.
THIS RECORD WAS PLAYED PRIOR TO LISTING AND I DIDN\'T HEAR ANY SKIPS, STICK, LOUD POPS OR IRRITATING HISSES. IT WAS A PLEASANT LISTENING EXPERIENCE.
I HAVE PAID SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS AT RECORD CONVENTIONS FOR A VERY RARE ALBUMS. PRIME EXAMPLES ARE EARLY HANK BALLARD AND THE MIDNIGHTERS, BILLY WARD AND THE DOMINO, THE 5 ROYALS, AND A STEREO VERSION OF THE DUKE OF EARL BY GENE CHANDLER. THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE RARE ALBUMS THAT ARE MORE THAN WORTHWHILE. THEY CAN\'T BE REPLACED!IT\'S IMPORTANT THAT MY CURRENT AND FUTURE CLIENTELE BE INFORMED ABOUT MY COLLECTION AND ITS POTENTIAL ENJOYMENT AND VALUE TO THEM. THESE ARE MUSICAL AND HISTORIAL RARITIES, NEVER TO BE PRODUCED AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME TO READ THE ABOVE AND GOOD LUCK offerDING!
