ARTIST: Dave Bartholomew LABEL:  Imperial  CATALOG NUMBERS:  5373 - Promo & 5724 - Audition TRACKS:  5373 - Shrimp & Gumbo / An Old Cowhand From A Blues Band / 5724 - Yeah Yeah / People Are Talking
RECORD GRADING:  We grade conservatively, so that our buyers are pleasantly surprised rather than disappointed when their record arrives.
VINYL CONDITION:  5373 - Shrimp & Gumbo / An Old Cowhand From A Blues Band - I am giving a grading of VG++ audibly, with very little background noise, mostly at the beginning. Overall, it is pretty quiet.  The visual grading is a VG+ with a few noticeable scuffs/scratches, along with a very slight edge warp that does not affect play. You have to feel the vinyl to notice the slight warp. It is extremely hard to see.There are no skips or  cracks and vinyl still has a lot of shine.  Audio clips are of the records being sold and have not been altered in anyway.  
VINYL CONDITION:  5724 - Yeah Yeah / People Are Talking -  I am giving a grading of VG+ audibly, with some background noise throughout, but  it does not overpower the music. The visual grading is a VG, with numerous scuffs/scratches. This 45 sounds much better than it looks. There are no  skips or cracks and vinyl still has some shine. 
LABEL CONDITION:  See pictures. They always tell the truth! 

*Pictures:  Pictures are of the actual record being listed.

Handling

            Item will ship within 1 business day of payment.

SS
 (STILL SEALED)

Sealed at factory and never opened. Disc is assumed to be undamaged and mint, but this cannot be proven until the album is actually opened and the disc examined.

M
 (MINT)

Perfection, no flaws, defects, marks or otherwise indications of being handled or played. Any scuffs, hairline scratches or other marks disqualify discs from this category. I do not use this grade, as even the act of inserting the disc or removing it from the paper sleeve may cause scuffmarks on the vinyl.

NM or M- 
 (NEAR MINT or  MINT MINUS)

This is highest grade that I will assign to opened, handled records. The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. The label is bright, clean and unmarked.

NM-            (NEAR MINT  MINUS)

Disc plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs. There can possibly be a hairline scratch or two with very light pop or crackle. Vinyl is bright; label is clean and may show only very light marks.

VG+ 
 (VERY GOOD  PLUS)

Some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact, possibly very minor sound quality loss. Vinyl will still have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections (small labels or initials, etc.) but otherwise reasonable & clean.

VG
 (VERY GOOD)

Vinyl will have noticeable scratches or scuffs that cause minor surface noise, but do not overpower the music. There will be no skips. Vinyl may appear somewhat dull and grayish. Labels may have small tears, tape marks, larger writing, etc. but still easily legible. There may be wear or deformation of the spindle hole.

G
 (GOOD)

Well-played, dull, grayish vinyl with deeper scratches and wear causing distracting surface noise (hisses, pops, cracks and other nasties). The record will still play through without any skips. Labels may be significantly defaced or damaged.

F
 (FAIR)

Unless the record is particularly rare, I would not try to sell a record in this condition. There will be major noise, surface damage, deep scratches, and skips. Attempting to listen to these discs will be painful. These discs are basically trash unless a collector desires one to fill a space in a collection until a better one comes along.
