SLEEVE  VG+:  Original plain brown paper sleeve with label hole is in VG+ condition.  Minor graffiti on the lip of the mouth edge. Light general roughness, and ring/shelf wear.  Light to moderate bent corners and/or creases. The mouth edge is fairly smooth, no rips, splits or tears, very little general wear, and only very minor bends and/or nicks.  Label hole area is clean, no rips, splits, or tears.  No seam splits or glue separation. Sleeve is in pretty nice shape for its age and is included in the record package, but vinyl will be placed inside new heavy stock plain brown generic sleeve for extra protection during shipment.
LABELS  EX:  Labels are in very nice condition overall.  No graffiti.  Printing is clean and base colors are still bold.  No scratches or bubbling on either side.  Very little to no general wear on either side (see photos).  Almost no ring/shelf wear on either side (see photos).  No discoloration.  Fine print (silver) is bold and 100% legible.  Very light wear around the spindle hole mainly on side two. Labels are in very nice condition given the age of the record, and have very little to almost no roughness about them (see photos).
VINYL RECORD VG++:  Vinyl is in nice shape visually for its age, and sounds awesome. There are no nasty scratches, scuffs or abrasions on either side.  There are very few visible light surface scratches on either side, but what there are, are on side two.  Very light visible wear on side one. There are some "super light" surface scratches on either side, but these scratches are so faint they are barely visible to the naked eye under normal room lighting and have no impact on sound quality.  These minor cosmetic flaws have no impact on sound quality.  Vinyl is not dull in appearance.  Record still sounds super nice, has been played, but not overplayed to the point where the record is not pleasant listening.  There is very light noticeable surface noise on either side (likely from play with a worn stylus).  Both sides play back nicely with no skips, hangs or nasty distracting noise and sound very nice. A thorough "professional" type deep cleaning might enhance overall sound quality but this record still sounds rather nice in "as is" condition.
BOTH SIDES OF THIS 45 WERE GRADED AUDIBLY, "LOUD" IN MONO MODE SO THAT ANY AND ALL NOISE POLLUTION COULD BE DOCUMENTED FOR THIS DESCRIPTION.  NO HEADPHONES GRADING!

SUMMARY:   This record package is in VG++ condition overall.  Very light surface noise on either side. The sleeve is VG+ and the vinyl VG++ cosmetically.  The sound on both sides is excellent. The record is still suitable for jukebox, casual listening or re-recording to another audio medium. The record has very little visible wear, no nasty scratches and is not overly dull in appearance. Record has no damage that impacts sound quality to any serious degree. Record was played frequently on mainly older equipment, with care and still sounds very nice on both sides. This record package has very few rough spots, and has been pretty well cared for overall.
THIS RECORD IS A ONE OWNER.  IT WAS PURCHASED NEW AT THE MELODY SHOP IN FORT WORTH, TEXAS.  THE MELODY SHOP OPENED IN 1951 AND SADLY CLOSED IN 2002 AFTER 50 YEARS OF LOYAL SERVICE TO ITS CUSTOMERS.

"THANKS FOR HAVING A LOOK"
I am not a licensed dealer, nor will I pretend to be an expert on grading records. I'm just a guy that's been buying and collecting records for close to 60 years. I use Goldmines price guide as a tool when either buying or selling an album or 45. My listing procedure is: to clean the record (if necessary), visually inspect record and/or cover for obvious flaws, damage or imperfections, and to play each record in its entirety to evaluate overall sound quality. I try to simply give my honest opinion of the records' condition without any technical gobbledygook. I believe that grading a record can be as subjective as judging Olympic figure skating, therefore, my opinion may well differ from yours as a prospective buyer, either in a positive or in a negative way. I simply offer a full money back guarantee on any record that I sell if you are not 100% satisfied with the purchase. I do not want negative feedback in the event that I overlook an egregious flaw or if my opinion of the record is beneath the buyer's expectations. If you are the end buyer and are dissatisfied in any way, please contact me immediately and return the record in the condition you received it within 30 days of the purchase date. I ship same or next business day after payment is received. All records with a purchase price of $25.00 or more will be insured (included in the shipping price).
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE NOTE:  Import duties, taxes and charges are NOT INCLUDED in this item's price or shipping charges.  Also, law prohibits devaluing the actual purchase price, and/or stating that this item is a "Gift".
If you are bidding on "THE ZOMBIES", thanks, I appreciate it and Good Luck!!
