I am selling my grandfathers record collection who recently passed away :(
Jerry Lee Lewis is the debut album by American musician and rock and roll pioneer Jerry Lee Lewis, released in 1958 on Sun Records. The album featured Lewis's hit "High School Confidential", but producer Sam Phillips did not include Lewis's bigger hits such as "Great Balls of Fire" and "Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On." The album is sometimes referred to as High School Confidential.
The back cover of the LP feature a large picture of Sun Records President Sam Phillips admiring Lewis at the piano in the famous studio at 706 Union Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee. Phillips, then working to promote his latest star Lewis, also wrote the liner notes for the album noting that Lewis "is regarded as the very epitome of rock and roll"

Mint (M) or Still Sealed (SS)
Basically means that it is as good as new, literally. The vinyl has to look new and sound as though it was never played, and the cover has to look untouched. Personally, I refuse to grade any record “Mint” unless it is still factory sealed – just on a matter of principle.
Near Mint (NM)
Vinyl is near perfect, as if it were just opened. At most, a light scuff appears on the record, but it should play without any noise or skips. The record sleeve should also be near perfect with only minor signs of wear. There should be no outline sleeve.
Excellent (EX or VG++)
Vinyl should still play with no skips. There can be some very minor surface scuffs, but they should not affect the sound quality to a great extent. The vinyl should still retain a nice shine. The record sleeve can have some minor ring wear but it should be mostly in good shape. Also, there can be some minor creases in the corners but no splits in the seams.
Very Good+
(VG+)
This is the grading category where the quality of the sound is affected -- there will be some surface noise -- and the vinyl will show wear, including surface scuffs and some light scratches. On the cover, the corners may be slightly bent, but not broken. There may be wear to the seams but not tears or holes.
Very Good
(VG)
Vinyl doesn't necessarily look good, but still plays well enough. Surface noise will probably be present, including pops and clicks. Vinyl possibly could skip. At higher volume levels, the music should overpower some pops and clicks present. There may be seam splitting, but not complete separation of the sleeve panels from each other. There will be noticeable ring wear on the cover, but the cover should for the most part still be in okay condition.
Good (VG-)
Vinyl is well played and looks it. It will have substantial surface noise, pops and clicks. Loss of various parts of the dynamic range will occur due to worn grooves. Vinyl could skip. This grade depends a lot on the owner and the type of records he or she collects. A rock record may still sound ok at a high volume, but quieter styles of music may be practically unlistenable. The record cover may have many problems including seam splits, tears, and writing on it.
Fair/Poor (F/P)
Records described as fair (F) or Poor (P) are ones that are basically not listenable. Surface noise, skips and pops make hearing what's on the record nearly impossible, if not completely impossible. The cover is falling apart, torn, and has writing all over it. The only reason to keep it would be if the record is extremely rare. It’s sole purpose is to be a collection filler, not to be played.
PLEASE CAREFULLY INSPECT PICTURES AND I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO PROVIDE MORE UPON REQUEST. I OF COURSE, NEVER USE STOCK PHOTOS IN MY ADS. RECORD & COVER PICTURED IS ALWAYS THE ONE YOU RECEIVE FROM ME.
Please no international bidders, sorry for the inconvenience.
