This is again from my personal collection. Most of my 45s were never played. I would grade these as excellent or mint but I don't do that because I know for a fact that brand new vinyl was never meant or excellent all the time. That's not to say there's anything wrong with this record because there isn't. It's a fine example of a record that has been preserved from 50 plus years ago. It is an outstanding condition and plays very well. There is only a slight amount of surface noise that I believe is inherent in such records. That being said I still will be grading it as a vg++/ex. Sleeve is in vg+ condition because that's how I grade them. It's not perfect it has a few wrinkles as you can see in the photographs. Nothing more than what happens from general handling. The price is $9.99 because I bought this to preserve it many years ago and I'll be damned if I'm not going to get paid! Is that a rant? Thanks for looking!
