OFFERING FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TODAY, A  MEGA RARE CHUCK BERRY ORIGINAL 1957  1ST PRESSING "AFTER SCHOOL SESSION" LP!

PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE THIS ITEM IF YOU CAN NOT TAKE THE TIME TO READ AND UNDERSTAND THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION!!! 

CHECK OUT THE SONG LIST BELOW TO SEE THE INCREDIBLE COLLECTION OF ROCKIN' TUNES! THIS LP WILL REALLY GET YOUR FEET TAPPIN' AND YOUR HEAD BOPPIN'

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1957 TRUE 1ST PRESSING!  THIS WAS RECORDED ON THE CHESS BLACK LABEL WITH SILVER PRINTING # LP-1426 THERE IS NO YELLOW STRIP IN THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER OF THE COVER THAT WAS ADDED IN 1958 MAKING IT A SECOND PRESSING!

 THESE ARE BECOMING EXTREMELY SCARCE AND SURE TO RISE IN VALUE I HAVE ALREADY SEEN THE DECENT ONES GO FOR WELL OVER $300.00 AND THE NRMT ONES TWICE THAT!

VISUALLY, THE 57 YEAR OLD THICK VINYL PLATTER IS IN VG- TO VG CONDITION! I HAVE EXAMINED THIS UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND SEE THAT THIS THICK RARE PLATTER HAS RETAINED MUCH OF ITS DEEP LUSTER...STILL DECENT SHINE! HOWEVER, I DO SEE MANY LIGHT SCUFFS/HAIRLINES/SCRATCHES  (MOSTLY THE SWIRLY VARIETY) WITH PORTIONS OF SEVERAL SMALL ONES BEING JUST BARELY FEEL-ABLE. HOWEVER, NONE OF THEM ARE DEEP ENOUGH TO  SERIOUSLY EFFECT THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE TO THE POINT OF IT BEING UNENJOYABLE.

THE LABELS ARE VG- TO VG AS WELL AS SIDE 1 SHOWS WEAR AND SIGNS OF A PARTIALLY SUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO REMOVE A NAME THAT APPEARS TO BE WRITTEN IN PENCIL.

THE COVER  WOULD BE VERY NICE IF "BRICE" HAD NOT WRITTEN HIS NAME ON TOP! AGAIN, A PARTIALLY SUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT WAS MADE BY A PREVIOUS OWNER TO REMOVE IT. THE SPINE/SEAMS APPEAR TO BE UN-SPLIT HOWEVER THERE IS A TINY PIECE OF SUPER CLEAR TAPE AT THE MOUTH OF THE LOWER SEAM. APPARENTLY TO WARD OFF A POTENTIAL SPLIT. NICELY DONE & HARDLY NOTICEABLE AT ALL. THERE IS LITTLE TO NO RING/SHELF WEAR EVIDENT TO EITHER SIDE. THERE ARE SOME CORNER DINGS & CREASES/SOILING/STAINING AS SHOWN.

THE REVERSE SIDE LINER NOTES ARE VERY INFORMATIVE AND PERFECTLY READABLE & CLEAN. "BRICE" AGAIN WROTE HIS NAME IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER HOWEVER 90% OF IT WAS REMOVED AND JUST A TRACING REMAINS. BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS I FEEL THAT THE COVER GRADES AS VG

   I HAVE  PLAY GRADED THIS MOMENTS AGO AND THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS  VERY GOOD DESPITE SOME BACKGROUND NOISE. I DID NOT CONSIDER THE NOISE LEVEL TO BE  OVERWHELMING AT ALL, HOWEVER THERE WAS LIGHT NOISE PRESENT THROUGHOUT. THERE NO WERE SKIPS, STICKS, REPEATS OR LOUD DISTRACTING POPS OR BURPS!  THERE WAS SOME MINOR CRACKLE AND LIGHT TICKS OCCASIONALLY HEARD MORE EVIDENT IN-BETWEEN SONGS.  OVERALL THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS VERY MUCH ENJOYABLE AND I GRADE IT AS VG!

  OVERALL  CONSIDERING ALL OF THE ABOVE I FEEL THIS LP DESERVES A GRADE OF VG- TO VG. IF YOU TEND TO BE ON THE FUSSY SIDE THIS PROBABLY IS NOT FOR YOU! GREAT PARTY RECORD AND PLACEHOLDER UNTIL THAT NEAR MINT ONE COMES ALONG!

ALL RECORDS ARE VISUALLY INSPECTED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. I TRY TO PLAY GRADE WHEN POSSIBLE OR AT LEAST IN ANY AREAS IDENTIFIED AS QUESTIONABLE FROM THE VISUAL INSPECTION.

MINT

Mint records are in most cases sealed in original shrink wrap. The only wear permissible is to the shrink wrap itself.

NEAR-MINT

NM records have glossy vinyl. There are no visible defects such as writing, tape, or stickers on the labels. The labels should not contain any spindle marks(from someone blindly trying to put the record on the turntable) The vinyl may have a few extremely fine hairline scratches or light scuffs that do not affect the sound quality. The vinyl will "appear" to have been unplayed (It may very well have been played and well-cared for)The album cover will haveNO writing, tape, creases, folds, seam splits,stains, ring wear or Promo holes or cuts!

VG+(EXCELLENT)

VG+records have glossy vinyl. Slight signs of wear, including light scuffs, very light scratches or slight warping that does not seriously affect the listening experience is permissible. Very slight intermittent background noise mostly in the quiet passages is acceptable.

The album cover will have no more than three of the following imperfections: light writing such as initials or name in one area, minor creasing, seam splitsnot larger than 1". Neatly taped seams of 2" or less.It may also contain very slight ring wear or discoloration, a promo stamp, punch hole or cut-out as originally sold.

VG

VG Records have more obvious flaws such as more pronounced scratches & lack of gloss. Groove wear and scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail are common. When played there will be surface noise but it should not continuously overpower the music. There areNO skips permissible with no more than 1.5 grahams of tracking force. It is common to hear crackling and pops especially in the quiet passages. The labels may contain writing such as a persons name or initials or it may contain a piece of tape or sticker with or without writing. The cover may have some seam splits, writing, tape, stickers, ring wear and scuffs.

VG-

VG- All of the defects listed VG category would be more pronounced. The record will play through without skipping WITH tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. The record will have many obvious flaws but still enjoyable to listen to. Generally if the record is rare, it is still highly collectible.

G/G+

Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping WITH tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. It will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will have seam splits,especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
