THIS IS THE  ORIGINAL FIRST 1961 PRESSING ON THE RED LABEL WITH BLACK PRINT # LP-501.

THIS IS THE 1ST PRESSING WITH "SCEPTER" IN THE SCROLL UP AT THE TOP OF THE RED LABEL WITH BLACK PRINT. "BELL SOUND" IS STAMPED INTO THE DEAD WAX ON BOTH SIDES AND GENERALLY CONSIDERED AN EARLY 1ST PRESSING

VISUALLY, THE 56 YEAR OLD THICK VINYL DISC IS IN NICE CONDITION.  I HAVE EXAMINED THIS UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND SEE THAT THE PLATTER HAS RETAINED MUCH OF ITS ORIGINAL DEEP RICH LUSTER...PLENTY OF SHINE HERE! I DO SEE   EXTREMELY LIGHT SCUFFS/HAIRLINE SCRATCHES  (MOSTLY SLEEVE TYPE SCUFFS). NONE OF WHICH WERE DEEP OR FEEL-ABLE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MAYBE A VERY SMALL PORTION ON 1-2 LINES. NOTHING HOWEVER THAT WOULD SERIOUSLY EFFECT THE EXCELLENT  LISTENING EXPERIENCE!

THE LABELS WHICH ARE FREE OF ANY WRITING OR STICKERS ARE PICTURED BELOW GRADE VG TO EX AS WELL WITH A SLIGHT BIT OF WEAR AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE.

BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS  I FEEL  THE VINYL  GRADES AS VG TO EX!

THE COVER PRESENTS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL. THERE IS NO WRITING ANYWHERE! THE SEAMS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED WITH SUPER CLEAR TAPE BY A PREVIOUS OWNER. THE SPINE IS  WORN BUT MOSTLY READABLE THERE ARE SOME MINOR  DINGS/CREASES AS SHOWN. THE LINER NOTES ARE VERY CLEAN AND ARE  EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE AND PERFECTLY READABLE! THERE IS ONLY EXTREMELY EVIDENCE RING/SHELF WEAR VISIBLE ON EITHER SIDE! 

 BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS I FEEL THAT THE COVER GRADES AS VG TO EX- AND PRESENTS WELL!

I HAVE PLAY GRADED THIS AND THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS EXCELLENT!!! THERE WAS SOME  MINOR OCCASIONAL NOISE. SOME SOFT TICS HERE & THERE. MOSTLY MORE EVIDENT IN THE QUIET PASSAGES BUT NOTHING I FELT WAS DISTRACTING OR OVERWHELMING AT ALL! AN EXCELLENT LISTENING COPY! THERE WERE NO SKIPS, STICKS OR DISTRACTING POPS, HISSES, OR BURPS! THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE GRADES EXCELLENT!

WE USE GOLDMINE AS GUIDELINE FOR OUR GRADING SYSTEM.

ALL RECORDS ARE VISUALLY INSPECTED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. I TRY TO PLAY GRADE WHEN POSSIBLE OR AT LEAST IN ANY AREAS IDENTIFIED AS QUESTIONABLE FROM THE VISUAL INSPECTION.

 

MINT

Mint records are in most cases sealed in original shrink wrap. The only wear permissible is to the shrink wrap itself.

 

NEAR-MINT

NM records have glossy vinyl. There are no visible defects such as writing, tape, or stickers on the labels. The labels should not contain any spindle marks(from someone blindly trying to put the record on the turntable) The vinyl may have a few extremely fine hairline scratches or light scuffs that do not affect the sound quality. The vinyl will "appear" to have been unplayed (It may very well have been played and well-cared for)The album cover will have NO writing, tape, creases, folds, seam splits,stains, ring wear or Promo holes or cuts!

VG+(EXCELLENT)

VG+records have glossy vinyl. Slight signs of wear, including light scuffs, very light scratches or slight warping that does not seriously affect the listening experience is permissible. Very slight intermittent background noise mostly in the quiet passages is acceptable.

The album cover will have no more than three of the following imperfections: light writing such as initials or name in one area, minor creasing, seam splits not larger than 1". Neatly taped seams of 2" or less.It may also contain very slight ring wear or discoloration, a promo stamp, punch hole or cut-out as originally sold.

VG

VG Records have more obvious flaws such as more pronounced scratches & lack of gloss. Groove wear and scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail are common. When played there will be surface noise but it should not continuously overpower the music. There areNO skips permissible with no more than 1.5 grahams of tracking force. It is common to hear crackling and pops especially in the quiet passages. The labels may contain writing such as a persons name or initials or it may contain a piece of tape or sticker with or without writing. The cover may have some seam splits, writing, tape, stickers, ring wear and scuffs.

VG-

VG- All of the defects listed VG category would be more pronounced. The record will play through without skipping WITH tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. The record will have many obvious flaws but still enjoyable to listen to. Generally if the record is rare, it is still highly collectible.

G/G+

Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping WITH tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. It will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
