Description
For my money, Wilson Pickett is one of the all-time great interpreters of other writer's songs. Even songs that had enjoyed massive success, such as The Beatles Hey Jude on this release. It is a cliche to say he made them his own, but he did seem to approach a song as if he had never heard it performed by anyone else, and delivered his own vocal take and reaction. This a an outstanding copy of his 1969 LP titled "Hey Jude". And it is a rare white label mono promo version. Atlantic had ceased to issue mono versions, so the only way to get the mono version of this record is via the promo copy. They had also ceased to make mono sleeves, so the sleeve accompanying this is a stereo cover with the DJ sticker identifying it as a mono version. I grade this vinyl VG++, nearly NM except for one or two superfine hairlines that do not affect playback. Bright white promo labels are VG++ with only a couple of spindle marks keeping them from NM. Outer sleeve is a strong VG+ with edgewear and corner dings, no splits, strong spine, the aforementioned DJ sticker. Great stuff! See my other Wilson Pickett 60's promo releases in this week's auctions.

RECORD GRADING (SEE PHOTOS FOR NOTED DEFECTS):- Mint (M) (only if sealed). Not used for 7".
- Near Mint (NM): Very little evidence of use, glossy surface, minimal vinyl marking; labels are clean and crisp with no writing, ring wear or significant spindle marking; jackets are clean and square, no writing, no splits, no ring wear.
- Very Good+ (VG+) : Vinyl shows use but has been well cared for, surface has light scuffs or very light scratches (not feelable) that will not significantly degrade the sound; labels are clean with only minor ring wear, any writing or sticker/residue is discrete, only slight soiling or dirtiness, drill hole OK if label otherwise clean; jackets are clean with no more than light ring wear, minor corner dings, if writing on the cover it is discrete, no more than one slight seam split, light creasing, cutout hole or corner only if rest of jacket is free of defects - multiple flaws of the types described will drop grade.
- Very Good (VG): Vinyl shows significant use with more scuffing or light scratches but will play through without skipping, may be slight warping but will play through (without having to tape a penny to the tonearm like the old days!) and nothing that will cause a significant bobbing of the tone arm, will have surface noise particularly at intro and in soft passages, dimished or irregular gloss; labels may have significant ring wear, more prominent writing or stickers/residue, drill hole, more soiling or dirtiness; sleeves may have multiple splits, writing, creasing, soiling or dirtiness, drill holes or cut corners, and/or ring wear. This is a common grade for older 45's - they were often stored outside of the sleeve which lead to multiple light surface hairline scratches which have not caused significant damage to the vinyl grooves - they will still afford an enjoyable listen.
- Good (G): Infrequent grade usually only applied to rare items, or to one aspect (i.e. the sleeve) if another aspect (i.e. the vinyl) is a significantly higher grade. Vinyl may have significant scuffing or scratching, poor gloss, significant noise on playing but should play through; labels may have glaring writing, significant ring wear, extensive sticker residue, dirtiness; sleeves may have substantial ring wear, extensive seam splitting, taping, prominent writing.
Items are guaranteed and price refunded if returned in the same condition as dispatched (for Still Sealed items, Still Sealed). Shipping costs refundable only if, in my opinion, I have mistakingly misrepresented or misgraded the item.
