Condition : Disc - Excellent

** Listen to vintage 1950's rock and roll - the way it was designed to be heard - on original 78rpm records!

Condition is Excellent. Very few minor surface marks. No skips, jumps, cracks, warps, chips, or writing on labels. I played both sides to check sound quality, which is excellent. Only very minor surface noise. Tested on a Pye Black Box. This record comes with  a new REPRODUCTION company sleeve, in excellent condition.

Great and very rare piece of 50's rock and roll / rockabilly. Sold very poorly in the UK at the time, and this 78rpm is seriously hard to find nowadays. Hear it on Youtube (please note this is NOT my record..)

GRADING:

All records are graded using the UK ‘Record Collector’ format:

MINT (M):

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 (EX): 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 (VG): 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 (G): 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 (F): 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 (P): 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 (B): The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
