Artist: The Four Lovers

Title: Joyride

Year: 1956

Label & Number: RCA LPM-1317

Original/Reissue: O

Mono/Stereo: M 

Country: USA

Vinyl Condition: G, disc shows alot of surface wear and hairline marks. This is pretty much all superficial - I wasn't able to feel any of it. The disc plays loud and strong. There is  some intermittent surface noise, for the most part very minor and barely audible during the songs but at a few spots a bit more pronounced. Nothing major - it's a very nice listen! 

Cover Condition: Poor, cover is still functional but has a 7" split on the bottom seam and a 4" split on the top. Spine is intact with all text readable. Cover graphics still quite nice with some light ringwear.            

Comments: A really, really hard to find LP! This is the Four Seasons prior to being called that, compete with Frankie Valli. I believe this is their one and only full length as The Four Lovers. You don't see this one every day and while far from stellar it's not a bad place to start.

WHY BUY FROM IN THE MOMENT RECORDS?

In The Moment Records is a veteran power seller. All LP's are strictly graded using an intense halogen floodlight. All LP's are gently hand cleaned prior to grading and cleaned using a Nitty Gritty cleaning machine prior to shipping. LP's are shipped outside of their jackets to avoid seam splits during transit. LP's are carefully packed using additional cardboard for added stiffness and then shipped in brand new LP mailers. As an avid collector myself I know the disappointment of receiving poorly graded or packed LP's. It is my utmost priority to insure you are happy with your purchase and to encourage repeat business.

 INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING RATES FOR 1 LP:

USPS 1st Class International rates will be included on each listing and both USPS Global Priority and 1st Class International rates will be posted on your invoice.   

How we visually grade our records:   

Mint (M): Album is still sealed in original shrinkwrap and has never been opened.

Near Mint (NM): Album has been opened and most likely played but is blemish free and as close to new as possible.

Excellent Plus (EX+) Album is very close to NM but may show more signs that it has been played. A very minor, unfeelable mark or two that has no affect on play may be noticed.

Excellent (EX): Album does show the most minor signs of usage, nothing that would effect sound quality.

Very Good Plus (VG+): Album will show some signs of wear and may have some minor scratches or scuffs. These albums we will usually play to gauge the sound quality. If there are any issues we will post them.

Very Good (VG): Album has obvious signs of usage. There are most likely blemishes that will affect sound quality.

How we grade our covers :

Mint (M): Cover is perfect in every way - likely still sealed or in the shrink. 

Near Mint (NM): Cover is in fantastic condition and may still be in it’s shrinkwrap. Very, very minor signs of wear may be apparent. 

Excellent (EX): Cover is in great shape but will show the most minor signs of usage. Small amounts of wear on the corners or seams are possible, but no writing or other blemishes.

Very Good Plus (VG+): Cover will shows signs that it was used. No seam splits or heavy wear, but corners and seams will show wear. There may be the possibility of a previous owners name written on the cover, stickers or bent corners, etc. Cover graphics may have flecking or show a ring from the record.

Very Good (VG): Cover will show wear on seams and corners. Seam splits are possible. Cover graphics will be worn. Covers with heavy writing on them will earn this ranking.

Good (G): Cover is in not in great shape but will still be functional. Generally we will not list albums with covers in this shape unless the album itself is in excellent shape and the cover is the only concern or if the album is extremely rare or valuable and there may still be interest in spite of condition.

Album and cover grading is not an exact science and is subject to the opinion of the grader. We strive to be as precise as possible. If you have any questions about our grading system or a particular item please don't hesitate to contact us.
