The Billy Thompson Show LP Cuerno Verde Ranch Katie Jean Ronnie Miller Jimmy Dee

$

50

A rare Original LP from the early 70's in excellent condition. It has been well taken care of  for over 40 years.
Record: (EX) Sounds amazing. Probably played only a few times. There is some cosmetic scuffing on one side of the LP (near the beginning tracks), but it does not affect play. This was most likely created by storage or the original paper sleeve pressing against the vinyl.
Sleeve: (EX) The sleeve is in fantastic condition with only minor wear to some corners. No ring or seam wear. No fading. The colors and text are nice and vibrant.
The LP contains a name/address sticker on the back of the sleeve and on one side of the record.
This LP includes an archival quality inner sleeve (the original inner sleeve is included as well) and poly outer sleeve.
Billy's musical career spanned about 3 decades. During those years he played with notables such as Lead Guitar for Bob Wills, band manager and front man for Hank Thompson and the Milter Bros (aka Brazos Valley Boys), and Sam Gibbs Orchestra. His European tours afforded him appearances on Johnny Carson, Jimmy Dean and many other shows. Katie Jean also sang for Bob Wills. Billy Thompson is inducted into the West Texas Music Hall of Fame.

This is my Record Grading System based off the Goldmine standard:

Record Grading Scale:

 M/SS = Mint (M) or Still Factory Sealed (SS)

A brand new record that has never been opened and is still sealed in the original factory shrink wrap. It’s considered Mint unless otherwise noted.

NM/M- = Near mint (NM) or Mint Minus (M-)

Record: It’s a superb listening experience. It may only have been played a few times. Vinyl is clean and shiny with virtually no signs of wear except from surface contact with the inner sleeve. No surface noise. Sleeve: Very clean appearing and well preserved. It looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time. It has a like new appearance.

 EX  = Excellent  (EX)

Record: It’s a wonderful listening experience. It will play with virtually no surface noise. Vinyl is nice and shiny but may have some light scuffs or “wispy wear”.

Sleeve: Hardly any noticeable wear except for a few minor imperfections. It will still be in strong collectible condition.

VG+  = Very Good Plus (VG+)

Record: It’s a great listening experience. It occasionally has low surface noise but is seldom and hardly noticeable. It may show some light signs of wear. A slight warp in the record is acceptable (this will always be noted on the listing).

Sleeve: It may have some minor wear or light ring wear but does not have any serious damage or defects. It might have some very minor seam wear or a split less than one inch long and may have a cut-out marking or saw tooth cut. (cuts or splits are always noted on the listing).

 VG = Very Good (VG)

Record: It’s a good listening experience. The LP has low surface noise but will not overpower the music and some crackling may be audible. It has light wear, a warp, and or scratches in the vinyl. (all defects will be noted)

Sleeve: It will have some creases, may have seam splits larger than one inch, moderate ring wear, a price sticker, or tears on the artwork cover (all defects will be noted).

G+  = Good Plus (G+)

Record: This is the lowest grade for a good listening experience. It will play with surface noise and crackling. It has scratches, scuffs, and overall wear. Sleeve:  Heavy ring wear, tears, or splits but it is still intact and functional.

 G = Good (G)

Record: This record does not provide a good listening experience. It has surface noise, skips, crackles, and or pops. It’s considered worthy of display only or is rare and hard to find in any condition.

Sleeve: Heavily worn out with large splits, faded artwork and or tears. It may be completely split in two pieces and not hold the record.
