I DON'T SELL G(ood) AND P(oor) MATERIAL. + or - to indicate variations on the above. Bidders should be aware that some records issued in the fifties, even if Mint, are not Hi Fi. Sometimes the vinyl or the pressings are low quality, with inevitable background noise. IMHO the absolute quality standard as set by Contemporary Records is seldom, if ever, met by other labels.
