Description
Gerald Sims 45 titled "Little Echo/Mother Nature"; Okeh 4-7199, 1964. Both sides sound in NM condition (I test-played them entirely). Okeh sleeve. Age-related wear on the label. "Mother Nature" is a wonderful dancer. "Little Echo" is a beauty by this unheralded singer.

This item belonged to a former employee of the Columbia Records pressing plant in my home city of Terre Haute, Indiana, who worked on the Columbia record production line in the 1960s and '70s.
Play-grade definitions: NM (near mint) -- little or no surface noise. VG+ (very good plus) -- surface noise, but does not interfere with the enjoyment of the track. VG (very good) -- surface noise that is noticeable and whether or not it interferes with the enjoyment of the record depends on your level of tolerance. G (good) -- noticeable surface noise, at least some of which interferes with the enjoyment of the song. I will never list a record on eBay that skips or catches without noting that flaw in the description.
All my records are test-played in their entirety, unless noted. I usually do not list the visual grade for a record because of the highly subjective nature of the judgment -- the tendency for vinyl to sound much better or worse than it looks. I assume a buyer is more interested in a disc's sound than its look. But if you want a description of the playing surface (visual grade), please e-mail me and I will provide it. I can say that I get very, very few complaints about my play-grade ratings.
Please e-mail me if you have any other questions. Thanks for looking.
