Description
For sale is a stellar example of Northern Soul 45, "Love You Baby," on the green and white Detroit-based Ashford label, 1A. Matrix numbers "A1-A" and "95" and a "W" on top of an "M" next to a backwards "#"etched in the dead wax on Side A, "A1-B", "95" and a "W" on top of an "M" next to a backwards "3" on side "B." Guaranteed original 1960s pressing.
Label on side "A" has date "5/7/69" written in blue ink and a black magic marker "X." Side B has no writing and labels on both are otherwise crisp and clean. Vinyl rates NM, visually, and play graded. Retain's its original sleeve, with "NEW RELEASE" stamped in red on it. 10% of proceeds go to the Environmental Defense Fund.
My grading scale:
STILL SEALED : Jacket imperfections, if any, will be described. Vinyl guaranteed to be in unplayed condition.
M : I don't use this grade, on the assumption that no record or jacket is truly flawless.
M- : Vinyl appears unplayed, jacket bears no signs of wear. I rarely, if ever, use this grade.
NM : Like M-, with possible scintilla/whiff of an imperfection
VG++ : May have a couple very minor imperfections. (superficial marks that have little or no bearing on sound.) Jacket may have a couple very minor flaws.
VG+ : Like VG++, but with a few more light imperfections
VG : Several light imperfections, and possibly one or two more serious ones, such as small feelable scratches. Still plays well.
VG- : Will display numerous minor imperfections and/or feelable scratches that affect playback quality. Between you and me, you could do better.
GOOD : What I consider pretty poor... numerous major imperfections. I generally don't sell items in this range unless they are of major significance.
Addendum. I realized I made a mistake in the matrix numbers. Should read "Matrix numbers "A1-A" and "95" and a "W" on top of an "M" next to a backwards "3"etched in the dead wax on Side A, "A1-B", "95" and a "W" on top of an "M" next to a backwards "3" on side "B."
