A Brand New Me is the sixth studio album by English singer Dusty Springfield, released on Atlantic Records in January 1970. The album was also released in the UK three months later on Philips Records, under the title From Dusty with Love. The album was recorded in late 1969 at the Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia. It is Springfield's only album on which every song was produced by the same production team: Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. Gamble also co-wrote every track on the album, and the Gamble and Huff duo went on to have success with many groups and singers in the 1970s, among them Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, The O'Jays, MFSB and The Three Degrees.
Lp in good + condition. It presents several scuffs and some more noticeable hairline scratches. None of them look deep. I listened to the LP fully and none of the songs presented any skipping . Light surface noise was noticed though.   For best playback results, Lp might need further cleaning.
Extremely hard to find in the US. Very collectible. Grab it now!

We have developed a record grading guideline based on the Goldmine Parameters. 

 Mint (M):  Absolutely perfect in every way. Never been played, possibly even still sealed.

Near Mint (NM or M-):  A nearly perfect record. The record shows no obvious signs of wear. Minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling. 

Excellent (EX): worth 75 percent of the Near Mint value. LP will show slight amount of wear with hard to spot scuffs and light scratches. Playback is almost perfect with no surface noise. 

Very Good Plus (VG+):  Generally worth 50 percent of the Near Mint value. Record surfaces show signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound might be present. 

Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. 

Very Good (VG):  Generally worth 25 percent of Near Mint value. Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. 

Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them. 

Good (G), Good Plus (G+)  Generally worth 10-15 percent of the Near Mint value. Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). 

A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. 

Fair (F):  Generally worth 0-5 percent of the Near Mint price. The record shows a great amount of scuffs and deep scratches. The record might be cracked, warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. Jacket presents edge splitting, might have writing or water damage.
