Description
PROUDLY OFFERING FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TODAY, IS A ROCKIN' ORIGINAL 1962 PRESSING OF THE MARVELETTES "PLAYBOY" LP!
PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE THIS UNLESS YOU CAN TAKE THE TIME TO READ & UNDERSTAND THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION! I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR PROVIDE ADDITIONAL PICTURES PRIOR TO PURCHASING. THANK YOU!!
AS YOU MAY BE AWARE GOLDMINE PRICE GUIDE VALUES THIS IN NRMT CONDITION AT $600.00 HOWEVER, I HAVE SEEN THE NICER COPIES OF THIS LP SELL FOR FAR MORE! HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO GET A NICE ORIGINAL 1st PRESSING CHEAP!
CHECK OUT THE SONG LIST BELOW TO SEE THE AWESOME SELECTIONS!! THIS BABY WILL REALLY GET YOUR FEET TAPPIN' & YOUR HEAD BOPPIN'!!
THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1962 PRESSING ON THE WHITE TAMLA LABEL WITH BLACK PRINT #TM-231 RECORDED IN HIGH FIDELITY! THIS HAS THE OVERLAPPING GLOBE/RECORD SYMBOL ON TOP.
THIS WAS RELEASED IN 1962 THE SAME YEAR AS THE YELLOW LABEL AND VALUED $100 MORE ACCORDING TO GOLDMINE. CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF THIS IS THE TRUE 1st PRESSING!
VISUALLY,THE 63 YEAR OLD THICK RARE VINYL PLATTER IS IN EX TO EX- (minus) CONDITION! I HAVE EXAMINED THIS UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND DO SEE THAT THE PLATTER HAS RETAINED MOST OF IT'S DEEP RICH LUSTER!PLENTY OF SHINE HERE!
I DO SEE MANY EXTREMELY LIGHT SCUFFS/HAIRLINE SCRATCHES WITH PORTIONS OF 1 LINE THAT I CONSIDERED TO BE JUST BARELY FEEL-ABLE. NOTHING DEEP ENOUGH TO SERIOUSLY AFFECT THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE TO THE POINT OF BEING UN-ENJOYABLE!
I GRADE THE VINYL AS EX- TO EX
THE LABELS ARE FREE FROM ANY WRITING OR STICKERS. THEY SHOW MINOR WEAR AND ARE IN EX CONDITION AS WELL!
THE COVER PRESENTS PROUDLY! THERE IS NO SPLITTING, TAPE, WRITING, OR STICKERS ANYWHERE! BOTH SEAMS ARE UN- SPLIT, STRONG & TIGHT! THE SPINE IS VERY STRONG, TIGHT AND PERFECTLY READABLE WITH LIGHT WEAR AT THE CORNERS. THERE IS MINOR RING/SHELF WEAR TO FRONT SIDE AND VERY MINOR TO THE REVERSE. THE REVERSE SIDE LINER NOTES ARE EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN, INFORMATIVE & PERFECTLY READABLE!
BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS THE COVER GRADES EX!
I HAVE PLAY GRADED THIS AND THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS EXCELLENT! THERE WAS SOME MINOR NOISE HERE & THERE UNDERNEATH THE MUSIC. MOSTLY JUST NOTICEABLE IN THE QUIET PASSAGES. A FEW VERY SOFT TICS HERE & THERE BUT NOTHING I CONSIDERED TO DISTRACTING OR OVERWHELMING IN ANY WAY!
THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS AWESOME...WHAT A GREAT SELECTION OF TUNES!
THERE WERE NO SKIPS, STICKS, OR LOUD DISTRACTING POPS, HISSES, CLICKS, TICKS OR BURPS!
THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE GRADES EX!
OVERALL, CONSIDERING ALL OF THE ABOVE THIS ROCKIN' LP GRADES EX-
