Description
Up for auction is a scarce 1967 Funk / Soul (Northern?) / Rhythm & Blues 45 RPM recorded by Billy Reed on a small label out of Columbus, GA, Men-Del 101.
The sides are Hank Ballard's Tore Up / Let Your Hair Down Baby.
The history of the Ed Mendel (Dr. Jive) and his label can be found here: http://www.georgiasoul.com/gasoul/article1mendel.html.
The tracks recorded with NO filtering or noise reduction can be heard here. (The same sides cleaned up a bit can be heard here.)
78 RPM Grading System:
- NM = near new condition
- E = barely played, extremely close to near new condition
- VG = played, but not abused condition, should play very well, may have light scratches, scuffs
- G = well played, but should play pretty well, will have deeper scratches, scuff; may have some background noise, scratches, scuffs, wear
- P = well used, pretty bad condition, lots of background noise
45 RPM Grading System:
- SS (New Still Sealed) = New store stock or otherwise unopened, factory fresh product
- NM = Essentially new or near new with only one or two small insignificant visual anomalies
- E = Still a very nice record with all or nearly all of its original gloss but may have a few more light surface marks, hairlines, needle tracks or the like which won't materially effect play
- VG+ = A really nice specimen, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It may play with a few pops, but has no serious problems. Still glossy with a lot of life left in it
- VG = An acceptable, well-played record that still should sound good, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.
- G = Not actually good at all but probably will play through but with much in a way of surface noise, pops, crackles, etc. Still, will have no cracks, chips or the like
Record grades G+/VG- with marks and scratches. Plays through fine with minimal tracking. Please listen to both sides for better discernment.
This record will be very securely packaged for shipment. Please let me know if you would like your records insured.
I try my best to describe and grade these as accurately as possible...I will gladly accept returns if you are not satisfied.
Good luck!
