Description
For Auction - Big Danny Oliver on Trend T-30-012X (PROMO). Songs on this 1958 Blues/Rock 'n' Roll 45RPM record include Sapphire (rock 'n' roll) and I Wanna Go Steady (blues). The vinyl visually grades VG+ (several superficial needle drags but no significant impact to the audio) and the audio is great (at least a 7 or 8 out of 10). Please see pics for record label condition. To be provided with a new, white sleeve. Please see my grading scale (below).
Please email me if you have any questions. I accept paypal. Please see my other listings. I combine shipping costs if you buy multiple items.
My Grading System (Visual)
Note: I make a distinction between superficial (non-feelable needle drags) vs. "fingernail" scratches (those you can feel with your fingernail). Also, although I consider visual grading as important, I consider the audio even more important. That is why I listen to all of my 45's and 78's and spot check the LP's I sell.
NM (Almost perfect but not quite. May have very, very light superficial scuffs, needle drags,stains, etc. but nothing even approaching "fingernail").
EX++ (Almost NM but not quite. Might have more superficial scuffs, needle drags, stains, etc. than the NM grade).
EX+ (Will have a few superficial scuffs, needle drags, stains, etc. but nothing "fingernail").
EX (Will have some superficial scuffs, needle drags, stains, etc. but nothing "fingernail").
VG++ (Might have some scuffs, needle drags, stains, etc. that are "slightly fingernail" but are not deep and do not negatively impact the audio).
VG+ (Scuffs, needle drags, stains, etc. are more pronounced than the VG++ grade).
VG (Might have scuffs, needle drags, stains, etc. that you can distinctly feel with your fingernail and cause some ticks).
VG- (Slightly worse than the VG grade).
I visually grade 78’s more liberally (scuffs, needle drags, stains, etc.) than 45’s or 33’s because they are more “forgiving” (audio) to these imperfections.
I also take the audio into consideration when a given record is "between" visual grades. For example if the visual grade is between a VG++ and EX and the audio is EX I might give the visual grade an EX. However, if the audio was good (not EX or GREAT) I would give the visual grade a VG++. I have experienced situations where a given record was visually EX++ but the audio was about a 5 or 6 out of 10. This and similar situations prevents buyers from receiving good looking records (visual) but with inferior sound.
My Grading System (Audio)
I use an Audiotronics 304A for audio grading. Keep this in mind if you have a “high-dollar” system or a system that highly discriminates various imperfections. To some degree, the same record will sound different on different players.
EX (The audio is about an 8 or 9 out of 10).
GREAT (The audio is about a 7 or 8 out of 10).
GOOD (The audio is about a 6 or 7 out of 10 with some light ticks probable).
