This is an original 1957  Danny and the Juniors 7" 45 RPM "At the Hop" from ABC-Paramount. The B side is entitled "Sometimes" (When I'm All Alone.) The catalog number is 45-9871.


I would call the vinyl VG/VG+. Some minor scuffing, and writing on the label on the A side.


The sleeve is original as shown in the scans. There is some writing on both sides and some minor storage wear. VG/VG+.


I am not an authority on grading and have listed the grading scale below.


My records have gone through numerous moves but have always been cared for and properly stored.


The scans tell a better story than I can. Please use them for condition guidance and pricing comparisons.


Questions? Let me know and I'll answer ASAP.


Thanks for looking! Rich

Grading Scale


M (MINT) - I will only consider something MINT if it is sealed and unmarked/untouched.


Vinyl = No flaws, defects, marks or other indications of being handled or played.


Cover = Perfect cover; NO dings, marks, tears, dents, bends, creases or other flaws.


NM (NEAR MINT)


Vinyl = Almost flawless. Virtually no scuffs visible, certainly no scratches.


Cover = Cover should have little to no flaws.


EX (Excellent)


Vinyl = May have a couple tiny paper scuffs and/or a couple of light scratches, but nothing that would interfere with play or the sound quality.


Cover = Cover may have very minimal wear overall, any wear is slight and hardly noticeable. 


VG+ (VERY GOOD PLUS)


Vinyl = Some visible surface wear (scuffs and/or scratches that CANNOT be felt), which may have VERY MINIMAL impact on the sound quality.


Cover = Cover will show some wear and may have a bend and/or creases. There may be some ring wear and/or edge wear, but it doesn't overpower the artwork. No split seams/tape or records poking through the spine. 


VG (VERY GOOD)


Vinyl = Scuffs and/or scratches will be more noticeable than a VG+ record and there may be one or two small scratches that can be felt.


Surface noise should only occur occasionally (mostly between tracks, during quiet passages and where a small, felt scratch may exist).


Cover = Will have some of the same wear listed for a VG+ cover but more pronounced, with more noticeable ring wear and/or edge wear. May include name written somewhere, minor water mark, larger bends and/or creases and possibly a seam split.


G+ (GOOD PLUS)


Vinyl = Extensively played vinyl with some scratches that may be felt, probably causing SOME surface noise (hisses, pops, crackles). 


Cover = Generally worn overall and will have several of the following flaws: full seam splits, writing, significant ring wear and/or edge wear, damaged corners, tears, cuts, scuffs, seam repairs, heavy water damage, or other flaws.


G (GOOD)


Vinyl = More pronounced that G+, Extensively played vinyl with some large scratches that can be felt, causing distracting surface noise (hisses, pops, crackles).


Cover = Generally worn overall and will have several of the following flaws: full seam splits, writing, significant ring wear and/or edge wear, damaged corners, tears, cuts, scuffs, seam repairs, heavy water damage, or other flaws.


P (POOR)


Vinyl = There will be major noise and possibly skips from extensive scratches that can be felt.


Cover = extensive water damage, split on 2 or more sides completely, illegible spine, etc. Poor means poor
