DICK SMITH PLAYS THE GREAT DICKINSON KIMBALL THEATRE PIPE ORGAN PRIVATE PRESS SEALED - DELAWARE
This RARE Wilmington Delaware LP is “Mastered in Digital”. The Dickinson Kimball Theatre Pipe Organ was originally installed in Philadelphia’s Boyd Theater to accompany silent films in the 1920s. By the 1960s it found a new home in the Dickinson High School Auditorium, Wilmington DE. Philly’s Larry Ferrari played the final concert at the Boyd before it was packed and shipped to Dickinson HS. This LP is a must have for any Dick Smith and/or Dickinson Kimball fan.

About record grading:
Near Mint (NM or M-)
NM records are shiny, with no visible defects when held up to daylight or equal lighting source. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any “spindle marks” from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. If played, it will do so with no surface noise.
NM covers have no creases, ring wear or seam splits of any kind.
Very Good Plus (VG+) or Excellent (E)
A good description of a VG+ record is “except for a couple minor things, this would be Near Mint.” Most collectors, especially those who want to play their records, will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if it toward the high end of the grade (sometimes called VG++ or E+).
VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.
VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location.
Very Good (VG)
Many of the imperfections found on a VG+ record are more obvious on a VG record. VG records have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible.
VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or it or stamped a price tag on it, too.
