RECORD CONDITION - All records have been "play" graded using the guidelines below. I will not sell you a record that skips unless I tell you it skips. In all probability my idea of a "G" or a "VG+", or any record grade, is going to be different than yours. Grading guidelines are much too subjective to be consistently interpreted and understood from one person to another. So my purpose here is to convey to you a condition and not a grade. I grade my records on three levels; the visual appearance of the label, the visual appearance of the vinyl and the audio quality the record produces. I've tried to give my guidelines definitions that can be recognized and understood in definitive terms. Hopefully, instead of telling you I grade a record as VG (and you wondering what that really means) I can accurately convey to you what the record looks and sounds like and you can apply your own grading standard to it. Blemishes (such as tape and its residue, stickers, marking or writing on the record, label peel and separation where someone has removed an old sticker) and their effect on record value are extremely subjective and mean different things to different people. Therefore, I grade a record as though those blemishes did not exist, and then point out those blemishes to you. These flaws are usually obvious and photographs easily convey their extent. I feel this system will allow you to more intelligently determine an overall "grade" or value based on your own personal requirements and standards. Visual Guidelines - LABEL Visual Guidelines - VINYL Audio Guidelines 10 Label flawless 10 Vinyl flawless 10 Sound flawless 9 Label looks new. No OBVIOUS flaws. 9 Shows very little, if any, sign of handling 9 Sounds new 8 Very light wear, dirt and/or subtle ringing not into label stock 8 Minor surface scuffing (5 to 30%) 8 Noise subtle in quiet areas but unnoticed during normal playback 7 Some label wear and/or light ringing into label stock 7 Moderate surface scuffing (30 to 60%) 7 Some noise in playback but does not compete with music 6 Label worn but readable 6 Heavy surface scuffing and/or play wear 6 Noise apparent during playback, competes with music 5 Label rough, obviously not protected 5 Vinyl mishandled / worn 5 Overpowering noise and/or wear during playback - no skips This is a 45 rpm single of Lenny Williams' 1968 recording of "I Couldn't Find Nobody / Lisa's Gone" on Fantasy (618). It is a Promo Copy. LABELS - At arms length, the record appears to be new. Label colors are bright and clean and the vinyl has a high gloss. But upon closer examination the label on the "Nobody" side has very light ring wear covering about 75% of a circle. The wear is on the ink and the label stock has not been breached. Ring wear is just starting on the "Lisa" side (you really have to look for it) and covers about 50% of the circle. The white ring in the vinyl seen at the bottom of the label is a reflection and not in the record. I would grade both labels as 8. EXCEPTION - there is a void of red printing ink, less than 1/8" in diameter, in the orange band directly below the "S" in "Fantasy". This is a production flaw and not mishandling (see photo). The spot directly to the top right of that same "S" is a spot on the photo and is not in the label. I'll point this out only as a curiosity. There is a line of eight (8) embossed dots (not debossed, embossed from the down side of the label). Each dot is much smaller than a pin head, and the line of eight is about 1/4" long. There is a line of these dots extending from the center of the label in the 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock positions. The label was obviously produced this way intentionally, but I've never seen it done before. VINYL - Both sides of the vinyl look very good and the record has obviously been sleeved its entire life. Under bright light (I use a 200 watt bulb) you have to look very close to find signs of handling. I feel very comfortable rating the vinyl appearance of this record as 9. EXCEPTION - see audio. AUDIO - The audio is clean on both sides. The "Nobody" side sounds like a new record and I grade the audio as 9. The "Lisa" side is a much quieter song and an occasional subtle "click" can be heard during playback but even then, certainly not distracting. I would grade this side as 8. EXCEPTION - Some idiot, probably me, installed a light 1/4" long scratch on the "Lisa" side starting at the outside perimeter in the 11 o'clock position. I was unable to get this to show in a photograph. How upsetting this is depends on your needs. But I don't know how to place a value on seven (7) low-key "clicks" at the beginning of a song (and one of them is hidden by the first sounds on the record) on an otherwise great copy of a very rare and valuable record. So you'll have to do that. PAYMENTS - All payments are due in U.S. dollars. PayPal is the only method of payment accepted. Payments not received within 7 days of auction close will be re-sold. Non-paid items will be reported. I must reserve the right to refuse bids from buyers with excessive negatives in their history. SHIPPING - All records are mailed in sturdy, corrugated, professional grade record mailers. U.S. orders are shipped USPS First Class Mail unless you specify that I ship Priority Mail. Orders outside the U.S. are shipped USPS First Class Mail International unless you specify that I ship Priority Mail International. Insurance is the responsibility of the buyer. Insurance is not available for USPS First Class Mail International and shipping must be upgraded to Priority Mail International in order to obtain this coverage. If insurance coverage is waived by U.S. or International buyers, the buyer agrees to assume responsibility for loss or damage of the item once it has been mailed. Cost of insurance and mailing will be quoted once the auction has closed and the amount of insurance and the shipping destination are known.
