For Auction - Bounding Billy Carlisle and his Little Carlisles on Mercury EP-1-3280. Songs on this 1954 ROCKABILLY 45RPM record include Rattlesnake Daddy, Feet Don't Fail Me, Women, Doggie Joe. The vinyl visually grades NM and the audio is EX (at least an 8 or 9 out of 10 on all four songs). Please see pics for record label condition. The cardboard pic sleeve is VG+ with no splits or tape (some flaking on the edges, some writing on the rear top edge, and one place where a sticker was removed). Please see my feedback for customer satisfaction relative to audio and visual grading. My grading scale is listed below.

My Grading Scale (Visual)

Note: All records you may receive from me have been cleaned, visually graded, listened to for audio grading and are ready for play.

NM (Almost perfect but not quite. May have very, very light superficial scuffs, needle drags,stains, etc. but nothing even approaching "fingernail").

EX++ (Almost NM but not quite. Might have more superficial scuffs, needle drags, stains, etc. than the NM grade). 

EX+ (Will have a few superficial scuffs, needle drags, stains, etc. but nothing "fingernail").

EX (Will have some superficial scuffs, needle drags, stains, etc. but nothing "fingernail").

VG++ (Might have some scuffs, needle drags, stains, etc. that are "fingernail" but are not deep and do not negatively impact the audio).

VG+ (Scuffs, needle drags, stains, etc. are more pronounced than the VG++ grade).

VG (Might have scuffs, needle drags, stains, etc. that you can distinctly feel with your fingernail and cause some ticks).

VG- (Slightly worse than the VG grade).

 I make a distinction between superficial (non-feelable needle drags) vs. "fingernail" scratches (those you can feel with your fingernail). Also, although I consider visual grading as important, I consider the audio even more important. That is why I listen to all of my 45's and 78's and spot check the LP's I sell. 

My Grading Scale (Audio) 

I use an Audiotronics 304A for audio grading. Keep this in mind if you have a “high-dollar” system or a system that highly discriminates various imperfections. To some degree, the same record will sound different on different players. 

EX (The audio is about an 8 or 9 out of 10).

GREAT (The audio is about a 7 or 8 out of 10).

GOOD (The audio is about a 6 or 7 out of 10 with some light ticks probable).
