HUMAN EXPRESSION
OPTICAL SOUND / CALM ME DOWN
1967 ACCENT 45 RPM • 7" U.S. VINYL
RELEASED MAY 1967
AC 1226-0 • AC 1226
Groove etchings include the above numbers with "R" extensions on both--see close-up. There is also a single "H" etched on both sides--see close-up.
CONDITION
A close-up lens was used on many of the photos to capture as much detail as possible.
VINYL: EXCELLENT Clean surface with one scratch on Optical Sound side--see close-up. A few tiny vinyl bubbles from manufacturing process. Plays excellent. No skips or noticeable surface noise.
LABELS: EXCELLENT + Almost perfect labels. A tiny wear spot to the left of Accent; a light scuff to the right of "Down"; and some wear evident on spindle edge--see photos.
ADDITIONAL PHOTOS AVAILABLE ON REQUEST
The record does not include the Accent imprinted sleeve -- generic sleeve only.
In my collection since the mid 1970s and stored in a box with other 45s for over 40 years without being touched or played until now for review. My copy certainly rates as one of the cleanest examples. Many other rare 45s will be listed.
Recording Grading Guide Used
MINT
The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT
The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD
The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD
The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR
The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR
The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD
The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
