The Rhythm Rockers- Twang / Crisis, released by the Gaity label (GA 6105/6) in 1959 out of Minneapolis, MN.  Original Pressing!- (see photos).

*Please Note!- This record is WARPED!  But this warp does not affect the record's play/sound in any way whatsoever, 100% guaranteed!  In other words, you will not hear this warp in any way whatsoever.  Please read my detailed play grade below.  Both of these sides sound a brilliant VG+.  This might not look completely pretty, but this record sounds incredible.  I have tried my best to take pictures of this warp, which can be a difficult thing to accurately portray via photograph.  Please see my superb feedback for bidding confidence.  I am very experienced at selling records, and all of my listings are guaranteed to be as described.  Also, please note that the Gaity singles were released on very thin vinyl, which can make these records more vulnerable to warps over a long period of time.*

*Super Rare Original 45 of this Minneapolis Monster Guitar Rocker!!!!  Rockabilly, Proto-Garage Rock, whatever you wanna call it, these are some fully loaded, nasty Instrumental Rockers!  Definitely in the spirit and style of Link Wray.  And there were only 500 copies of this ever pressed, making this a seriously rare record!!!  This was recorded by teenager David Hersk in his basement with top-notch equipment in 1959.  And you won't believe how incredible this original wax sounds.  Damn, what a brilliant sound!*

Vinyl grade: VG+ (This is a play grade.  "Crisis" sounds absolutely perfect with the exception with one very light pop heard.  "Twang" sounds absolutely perfect as well, with the exception of 1 or 2 very light, brief crackles heard right at the beginning of the track.  This record sounds truly exceptional.  Your mind will be blown away at how great this record sounds.  Visually, this still has a very rich luster, but it does show a fair amount of very light surface scratches & scuffs.  Visually, I would grade this VG, but this copy sounds way to good to be VG.  All-Around Brilliant Sound.)

The Labels are in Very Good condition, just showing some very minor general wear.

All of my 45's come with generic sleeves, unless otherwise stated.

My Grading is partially based on Goldmine Magazine’s Grading System, but it is more conservative.  I do not use the Mint or NM grades, and I take my record grading very seriously.  See my full guarantee below!

My Grading Scale: Factory Sealed / Excellent / VG+ / VG / VG-….

Factory-Sealed (not applicable to 78's): A tightly factory-sealed record (not a reseal, not a cut-out) that to all appearances has never been played.  It might have a few, very minor breaks in the seal and possibly some incredibly minor edge & shelf wear, but it should essentially look like new old store stock.

Excellent: Virtually flawless, stunningly beautiful, as close to perfect as it gets.  The vinyl might have 1 or 2 exceptionally minor scuffs.  This record should sound absolutely perfect.  An excellent cover will look virtually flawless.  The only flaws it might show are some incredibly minor edge wear.

VG+: This record will still have a very rich luster and will still be in beautiful shape. It is essentially the same as an Excellent record, but with a few more very light surface scuffs.  It will not have any scratches whatsoever.  It will sound very very close to absolutely perfect. A VG+ record will have anywhere from none to all of the following flaws: It might have very light crackles in between tracks.  If any other crackles are heard, the vinyl is VG or worse.  You might hear 1 to 4 very light pops during the duration of an LP side and 1 to 2 very light pops during the duration of a 45rpm or 78rpm side. Covers will still be in beautiful shape and might have some very minor edge & ring wear and some incredibly minor crease & seam wear (with no splits whatsoever).  If the cover has any more wear beyond these limited, minor defects, it is VG or worse.

VG: This is where my grading gets especially conservative.  I believe VG records should still have a rich luster, but there might be a very slight loss to the original luster.  They will show a fair amount of very light surface scuffs and possibly some incredibly light scratches.  VG records will still sound very very nice, but you might hear 5 to 10 light pops during the duration of a record’s side.  And you might hear some very light crackles during quiet musical passages.  VG records should not have groove wear (these cases are VG- or worse).  The surface noise on a VG record should be relatively minimal and infrequent.  The full dynamics of the music will not be compromised by this relatively light wear.  VG covers will have a little bit more wear than a VG+ cover but will still look very nice.  They might show some minor seam-splits (but not completely separated), some very small writing in ball-point pen, a slight loss of color, very minor sticker residue or possibly some fairly minor crease & ring wear.

VG-:  Surface wear on a VG- record will be more apparent.  It will show a fair amount of fairly light scratches and scuffs, but should still retain some luster.  It might show some fairly minor groove wear but nothing extreme.  A VG- record will still have strong sound dynamics, but a considerable amount of pops and/or crackles will be heard in the background of the sound.  This audible wear will be somewhat frequent but not constant.  (If the surface noise is truly constant, it is G+ or G, as long as there are no skips or jumps.)  A VG- record must still be a very enjoyable listen and is essentially an “acceptable” copy.  A VG- cover might have a full-seam split, a fairly minor tear from an old price-tag, a considerable amount of seam, crease or ring wear, etc.  There might be some writing on it in large black marker, but it must not be significantly obtrusive.  It might have some minor seam repairs with clear tape.  A VG- record will have a fair amount of wear, yet will still look pretty nice, or “acceptable” overall.

I rarely will list anything below the VG- grade.  If I do, the record will be very rare, and I will explain the condition defects in full detail.
