Little Diane / Did You Mean What You Said
Label: acetate
Condition: lead-in edge is gone on both sides, I don't believe there's any music loss. Plays through on both, heavy crackle, no skips. Hear clips below.
Got this acetate from a collector who had it in a box since the 80's at least. The A-Side is a cover of Dion's 1962 record "Little Diane". The vocal is pretty close to Dion so it COULD be an alternate take, but I kind of don't think so, if only because the flip sounds nothing like Dion did at the time. I did some searching but I don't believe this has ever been released in any form before. Hear some excerpts from this copy:
Little Diane || Did You Mean What You Said
This 45 comes from my personal collection of 45s I've amassed over the past 13 years of collecting. I bought them in locales as far apart as Portugal, South Carolina and Los Angeles. Some of them were records I used to DJ, others classics that I love but feel should go to a more appreciative home. Be sure to check my other listings for more records on sale this week!
Shipping:
USA: $3.75 for the first 45 via first class, $1 for each additional.
Canada: $10 for the first 45, $2 each additional
Rest of the World: $11/$1
If you have special shipping needs / requests, please contact me BEFORE you bid for more info.
About me: I'm a 60's R'n'B DJ and collector. I'm thinning down my collection to make room for new acquisitions. I grade my records based on how I would BUY them, not how I want to sell them.Payment:
PayPal. Required within 7 days of auction close or your order is cancelled and I will relist the item.
Take a look at my other listings this week for more vinyl goodies!
GRADING (Done visually, based on Goldmine)
Near Mint (NM or M-)
The record should show no obvious signs of wear and will be glossy/shiny. A sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling. No cracks, scratches or warps.
Excellent (EX or VG++)
One or two light marks visible on the disc at most, otherwise full gloss. No cracks, scratches or warps. Sleeve shows 1-2 marks, nothing too major, maybe at the edges.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled.
Record surfaces may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Maybe also slight warps that do not affect the sound.
Sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly bent corners, or a slight seam split.
Very Good (VG)
Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during the intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+)
A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches and groove wear. Tape, writing, seam splits, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
