Prince Charles - One Woman Man b/w Love I Once Knew
Continental Records 5017
Northern / Deep Soul 45
This is a rare and fantastic 1966 single on Continental Records.
Record Grade: VG+
The record is in very nice shape with nice gloss. It plays well with occasional light surface noise, mainly during the intros and outros of each side. Examined under bright light, I can see three very light marks on the "One Woman Man" side. Two are at the very beginning of the track (see pictures). These are very light barely noticeable surface marks and would not be feelable with a fingernail. I also noticed that the record does not lay dead flat on my turntable but this has no impact at all on playback, as you can see in the video. The condition seems quite a bit nicer than the other copies I have seen sold on this site and on Discogs.
I believe this to be an original pressing and am basing this on the fact that the matrix numbers are machine stamped. I am not an expert on 45s so if you believe this to be a repro/reissue, by all means let me know.
The record has a generic plain white sleeve. It will be double-boxed and shipped Priority Mail with insurance to the winning bidder.
Links to full videos of both sides can be provided upon request.
I grade LPs based on a conservative interpretation of the Goldmine standard. This means that a VG+ record is in very nice shape and should have little to no surface noise barring an occasional moment here and there. A record with sustained surface noise will be at best a VG. All records are play-graded since not all surface noise can be detected visually. All records are shipped in new Whiplash mailers with cardboard backing with the sleeved record outside of the jacket to prevent seam splits.
Below is more thorough info on my grading system:
NM: Surfaces essentially look new. This is the highest rating I give used records.
VG+: Very nice shape. May have a few stray very light hairlines and/or light paper scuffs visible under bright light. Will have little to no surface noise barring an occasional moment here and there. No feelable marks.
VG: Has hairlines and/or paper scuffs and has audible surface noise particularly between songs and during quieter passages.
G+: Has more pronounced hairlines and paper scuffs and may have a few small feelable marks, but still no skips.
