DOO-WOP 78: SPANIELS Signed by JOHNNY OTIS: Goodnite, Sweetheart, Goodnite VJ
Goodnite, Sweetheart, Goodnite/You Don’t Move Me, Vee-Jay 107, signed by Johnny Otis. Since Johnny Otis was not involved in the Spaniels’ recording sessions in Chicago, I researched possible connections and found that the Spaniels appeared on Otis’ TV show on KTTV in Los Angeles on March 13, 1956, so the record may have been signed then. The collector who brought this record to me watched Otis’ TV show growing up in L.A. and suggests that another possibility is that the Spaniels may have been one of the many doo-wop groups who appeared in L.A. at the El Monte Ballroom or possibly at one of Otis’ clubs where he had the house band to back such acts. The name Judy Taylor, probably the original owner of this record, is scratched in the dead wax. Record is VG-, scuffed.

N (new) or M (mint): New and unplayed. NM or N- (near mint): Nearly same as M but played a few times. or showing minimal storage wear.
E+: plays almost like new, with very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
E (excellent): Still very shiny, near new looking with few or no visible signs of groove wear but may have a few inaudible scuffs.
E-: still shiny, but without the luster of a new record. Very little wear, plays distortion-free. May have a few minor scuffs.
V+ or VG+: An "average" looking 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free of distortion. Surface noise still not pronounced.
V or VG (very good): Moderate, even wear throughout but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not too intrusive.
V- or VG- = quite playable; may have some distortion in louder passages but music remains loud in most places. Surface noise from wear and scratches are below music level.
G+: gray throughout or quite scuffed but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled.
G (good): quite worn/damaged, but surface noise still below music level. Listenable.
G-: Music muffled from wear but still exceeds surface noise.
F+: Music remains audible over surface noise but listening uncomfortable.
F (fair): Surface noise is as loud as the music.
P (poor): unplayable.
[+ and - denote in-between grades. Grades with a slash in between indicate the condition of Side A/Side B.]
Note: Some 78s look mint or near mint and may be graded so, but may play with some surface noise due to poor quality pressing material.
