The Big Bopper

Chantilly Lace

Mercury 20402 (mono)

Record Grade: G+

Cover Grade: VG+ (stain on back, all seams intact)

All time classic featuring the Bopper's huge hit along with his next two single releases, Big Bopper's Wedding and Walking Through My Dreams. Also on this LP is the original version of White Lightning, written by the Big boy, later a hit for George Jones. Vinyl has multiple scuffs and scratches associated with this grade so playback will have some surface noise and ticks. Fidelity is still decent, nothing terrible, no skips or sticks, still an enjoyable listen. Iconic cover, worth the price of admission. 

Combined shipping rates for LP's apply, one dollar for each additional on domestic shipments. On foreign shipments, import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

All records shipped within one business day upon receipt of confirmed payment. Packed securely in professional cardboard mailers with paper sleeve and plastic protector. 

 Unless noted, all records are original pressings.

My Grading Scale ............

10 (Mint-) My highest grade, a gem quality like new disc with full blazing gloss. Why Mint- and not Mint? Even brand new records are not always absolutely perfect so I don't like to call it that even though they may actually be mint.

9 (Near Mint) Virtually performs and looks like a new disc that may have been played and handled a minimum amount. Full gloss still present with possibly a few insignificant marks on the vinyl.

8 (VG++) A very well cared for disc. Shows minor signs of use like some very light paper scuffs or just a hint of groove wear. Vinyl still retains most of its original gloss and plays superb.

7 (VG+) Still a cared for disc, though showing more signs of use such as more light scuffs and/or groove wear, possibly some very light scratches that are not feelable or affect play.  Vinyl still retains a majority of its original gloss and playback fidelity is still excellent.

6 (VG to VG+) The middle ground for vinyl. For an understanding of this in-between grade, please read the description for both (7) VG+ and (5) VG.

5 (VG) Often the most misunderstood and misrepresented grade in the industry.  My VG's are clean playing discs. Vinyl displays more scuffs and scratches but gloss is still present.  Playback still has nice fidelity. There may be some light surface noise on certain low level recordings or on softer passages but it will be even and not distracting to the listening experience.

4 (VG-) Vinyl has many more scuffs and scratches, some will still have some signs of gloss left,  others may not. Many of these often play quite well and make very acceptable fillers until a better one comes along. After test playing, I will usually mark these as plays OK (very acceptable) or plays clean. If not noted, disc may playback with some minor surface noise or ticks.

3 (G+) Basically the same as a G grade but like the VG-, the playback far surpasses its looks.

2 (G) Typical flea market variety that probably hasn't seen a sleeve most of its life. Expect some surface noise, ticks, etc. but does play through with no skips.

1 (Fair to Poor) Don't expect to see hardly anything offered in this grade.  Unless truly rare, anything in this grade would be more appropriate for skeet shooting.
