Description
George Allen on the Solo Play label doing Come On Home/Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Lose in VG condition. It actually plays a bit stronger, with clear fidelity and incidental surface noise that does not hinder the overall sound. There is a fault on the edge of the record at 4:00 o'clock on the A side (Come On Home), that does not enter the playing surface. This is an enjoyable copy of a rare northern soul hit. I fully guarantee satisfaction to the buyer. No reserve and bids away.
I use the following grading system by US standards:
M(10) PERFECT! Label, vinyl, sound, all perfect…
M-(9) Maybe a few smudges, some very fine sleeve marks, etc. All glossy vinyl. Label pretty. Sounds great!! (sleeve marks are those tiny scratches with no effect on sound)
Ex+(8) or Vg++(8) A few sleeve marks or a few fine scratches, label still nice. Good gloss. appears-- still sounds great!! UK: EX+
Vg+(7) Probably lots of sleeve marks, OR several fine scratches, OR one or two more serious scratches, OR scuffs. Some gloss. Label is still real nice! Possibly a bit of dirt on it, etc. Overall, a fine copy. No noticeable record noise. UK:EX
Vg(6) It has sleeve marks AND: numerous very fine scratches, or a few more serious scuffs. Still nice looking overall. May be noise in quiet passages, but still sounds good! Still some gloss. Label is beginning to show signs of wear, but not serious. UK: Ex-, Or VG++.
Vg-(5) LOTS of fine scratches and almost no gloss. OR a few serious scratches, OR scuffed. Label is possibly worn. Plays with noise which doesn’t overwhelm the music. Gloss is possible, if the scratches are bad enough.UK: VG+
G+(4) COMPLETELY covered with fine scratches, OR a mix of fine and serious scratches or other defects. Label may be pretty trashed, but is generally readable. Plays with hiss, crackle or distortion, but not awful. UK:VG
G-(3) A filler. LOTS of serious scratches, definitely some audible. Noise is more prominent than the music. Label is BARELY readable. BUT: it plays ok… UK: VG- Between G and F
F(2) Almost unacceptable. Plays through. Label seriously worn. UK: G
P(1) POOR Gots lotsa scratches, scratches, scratches etc. I will NEVER list one like this.
