e © AP6.0 Buddy Holly "Modern Don Juan" b/w "You Are My One Desire."  Decca (U.S.) 30166 (mono). 1956.   Here's an honest-to-gosh rarity. I bought a lot of records from an estate sale that had a bunch of original Buddy Holly singles. This was among them. It is an original.   Condition: This one's a stunner! Ex or better--just a shade below NM.    Welcome to Wonder Twin Records!

Vinyl Condition Grades

I strictly adhere to the Goldmine grading system. All records are graded conservatively under direct light (I use a 120 watt spot flood).

M=Mint =New: Clearly unplayed & in perfect condition.

NM=Near Mint. As new. Close to perfect condition.

Ex= Excellent: Not an official Goldmine grade. I use this to indicate records that are a cut below NM but definitely better than VG+ as per Goldmine. This should be considered a very desirable grade for older [mid sixties and back] records.

VG+=Very Good Plus: Slight wear but still a quality copy. Unlike some sellers on ebay, my VG+ grading adheres strictly to Goldmine standards! A VG+ record has unquestionably seen some time on a turntable, but it has been played gently & carefully stored. VG+ by no means indicates a dicey copy!  I cannot emphasize this point enough! I abhor & reject the 'grade inflation' that seems to have taken hold in online record selling. In the long run, such misrepresentation can only be bad for all of us who care about the hobby.

VG=Very Good: The most misunderstood grade. A VG record has substantial but superficial wear. This does NOT mean one of those thrift store Beatles records that looks like it's been nicked all over with a steak knife! Rather, a VG record will exhibit numerous 'spider web' stylus marks, faded gloss & perhaps a few bona fide 'scratches' (detectable by running a fingertip along the groove & over the mark ). The buyer should expect that a VG record will play through without skips, though likely w/ some surface noise. Many fifties & sixties LP records were incredibly well-made & play very nicely in this condition. But of course, without play-testing there's no way to be absolutely certain.

G=Good: Wear and scratches; the record was played a lot, but should still play through without skips. I only sell very rare records in this condition.
